Sorry, I meant OpenStack (which is what Lunanode uses). I tried iwStack (Cloudstack). Besides the interface being clumbsier than OpenStack, it causes an image to be the entire size of a volume, which was the deciding reason to go with Lunanode. I wanted something that could upsize / downsize easily but also do backups / images with the provider and then also use an API to allow a remote connection with the API key to have the ability to download the backups remotely.
iwStack fits the bill, but the images are equal to the size of the volume instead of just the used space. So while iwStack is cheap, it's less economical than Lunanode with the image sizes. Even if Vultr or Linode have the same features, they're a bit more expensive. The volume performance on Lunanode seems to be performant and the price is much better for the VM instances. It would be nice to have the option of SSD-backed volumes (like DO and others), but cheaper was best for me.

Lunanode does not even let me recover my password, I know a year ago or so I did the double balance promo but it keeps telling me to try later.
Contact support, they're very kind and helpful so I'm sure they can help you out with that.

If I remember correctly, need to wait a few hours before new password taken effect .
I did not get in contact with them (since I was trying to look through my emails) but Support got in contact with me (that was awesome of them) and after a bit of a chat it seems I was wrong and I do not have an account, when I see a hourly cloud host I like to deposit some cash on there so when I need to create a vps I have the money there and won't have to worry, I have done this to about 10 different places, so I thought I had a luna node account but I was wrong.
Thanks everyone (p.s will be making a luna node account today heh)
Discovered I still had an account credit with Lunanode so I setup a new VPS on a volume and I see Lunanode still kicks ass . I installed a Hiawatha, PHP7, and Mariadb stack for a Wordpress site and it's crazy how fast it is.

Wow great content. Thanks for posting.
Review of the year.
Actually, he hacked the page, so the review is actually moving around the page really fast. In fact, it's moving too fast for the human eye to see.
My pleasure, glad you liked it. I can post my untrimmed

log too if you like longer posts. :-Pthere is an option to solve this problem
ctrl + w
done
Not posting at all would be preferred.

To be fair, you can't really make 82 bit OS, 128 or 256 would be better.
No no, you don't understand, most operating systems today are too bloated and need millions or even billions of bits, zafouhar's is only 82 bits.
Also, fundamentally there is no reason that data needs to be stored in units that are a power of 2 of bits. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/36-bit and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48-bit and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-bit
My OS is special because its hosted on the moon!
Lunanode is seriously badass.
That is all.
Are there any other *OpenStack providers like Lunanode? They're the best Digital Ocean replacement that I've found.
@cirrus_cloud iwStack, Vultr, Linode (iwStack does use CloudStack, Vultr and Linode have their own platform, Luna Node actually uses OpenStack with their own platform built on top of it)
