I really don't understand why anyone would want a VPS with 1.4GB RAM for the same price as a 12GB RAM Quad-Core dedicated server. (for example from hetzner: <a href="http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-produktmatrix/Produktmatrix" rel="nofollow">http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-pr...</a> - we've been using servers from this provider for 3 years and we're pretty satisfied so far).

I've heard a lot of good things about Linode, but I can't say I'm thrilled at the moment. I have a site partially hosted on Linode and the Dallas datacenter has had two failures in the past month, during our busiest time of the day. People going to our site at noon and the page not finishing because the image server is down (with all our ads) is clearly a very bad situation.<p>It's not really a sign of reliability how I can't even get their blog to load.... It's been loading the entire time I was writing this and I've only received the page title so far! What's going on over there?
It's hard to find a good (reasonably priced) VPS provider in the UK. This is fantastic news. I've been considering moving from The Rackspace Cloud to Linode for a while now.<p>Just signed up. My average ping is now 11ms!
Already migrated. Less than three minutes from submitting the ticket I got the response and started the process. It took some time to get disks copied, but overall everything went flawlessly. I am impressed.
This is pretty awesome. I've got a few VPS's with linode at their 3 other datacenters, I'm glad to be able to open up one here for a new monitoring node. I think they're the most well-run VPS provider I've dealt with.<p>Congrats to Tom & Chris on this one.
