It's been several years since I purchased my first Linode w/ 512MB RAM for 20 bucks......They are one of the best hosting providers and are continuing to work wonders.
I agree, one of the best, glad they solved the ddos attacks...
Whose idea? I don't recall Linode ever saying that -- just random people on LET.
Obviously no host is going to call themselves expensive. That Linode was expensive compared to LEB's was obvious by looking at the numbers.
That's because Linode didn't have the $5 plan. This will change now, to the point of why even bother with DO or more obscure names such as Vultr, when there's the $5 Linode.
Maybe I wasn't around in the grand old days of Linode, so can someone explain the difference? DO seems to have everything a midrange cloud user would want.
OMG, nobody know Aruba 1euro deal?
That is almost same spec; 1cpu, 1gb ram, 20gb space... But please only one euro/usd per month! Nobody care the 1/5th price??
5 dollar? LoL...
Does Aruba have the JP location?
Aruba only has Europe locations.
Can you have as many as you want? A few hundred, say. Is there an API to launch them?
Competitors battle, many starts sell SG under $5 for now, they just not match reality and lower prices.
There is an API, max of 30 servers can be active at any time. You can request your limit to be increased, not sure how high they will go.
It seems that I can choose
At $1 each? That's not an intro special?
It used to be 2GB RAM but they changed it to 1GB, been available for a while now. I think it's there to stay.
Wut?
'#aruba'
1 Eur for same specs, vmware, may not be that stellar, still, it is 4 times cheaper, some locations are really good, etc.
With the price people pay for 1 linode, i get an array of redundant storage and aggregated bandwidth, at least 2x the CPU power, 4 locations (and IPs, even though I dont need them), what more would I wish for?
@bsdguy posted a thread recently with tests of their bandwidth:

They were best in FR, UK, and DE; not so hot in other countries, but the first three are fine by themselves. Wish they had some in US
US will be less and less competitive regarding bw, so, hoping you will find similar deals except in very big company cases with own backhaul, dark fiber, the full monty OVH style, is a bit too optimistic. Adding the new "prioritization" of traffic and "consolidation" which will now be allowed in the industry, I think it is clear where the things will go.
Yech, probably true
. I hadn't even been thinking of that. I don't use much bw so basically would just want cheap small instances with reasonable compute/storage and quick but low-volume network. Thanks.
Perhaps the problem is that you're not paying enough?
MS respond to most of my Azure tickets in less than 5 minutes, Rackspace are onto virtually everything in less than 15.
We've had a ticket open with rackspace for about 3 years now... We bump it every year or so and ask for an update and they reply they're working on it.
"We told you last year already, we're working on it. Stop asking"
No way we'd let that stand.
Well if it's a feature request...
This reminds me of IPv6 for some major provider here.
We'd ask how long it would take and hold them to it. If we're paying them to do something, they'll do it.
That assumes facts not in evidence. I'd like to know what this ticket actually was.
We've already moved all our infrastructure off, at this stage it's a pet project to see how long I can keep it running. It's just a yes or no answer from someone in their legal department...
That would be the DDoS carried out by ColoCrossing that would very neatly fit in with their purchase of LET and the transfer of LET/LEB to the CC network.
IIRC there are some Mozilla tickets that have been open for literally decades (since 1990s). It makes me smile.
