    needavps said: relative value

    Is not the same as a price decrease. With a price decrease, you pay less tomorrow than you pay today regardless of what is offered.

    Having said that it's a win either way.

    They shit all over Linode with the overall speed they are developing at and the features offered.

    And if you think I am being in any way bias towards DO then have a search for other Linode related threads on here where I have been accused of working for them given the praise I have offered them over many years.

    needavps said: because this thread is about DO price decrease

    They have not reduced their current pricing, they have increased the resource for the same price.

    Seriously why do you quoting and replying to me. Do you not read the OP. if they increase the resource than the prices is decreased with the relative value of the competitors. simple concept. @jarland. how is this guy not trolling.

    If you're unaware, as your reply to me implies to me that you might be, I'm a team lead for our support team at DigitalOcean. If you ever want to try us out come on over and I'll be more than happy to help you get set up with some account credit to see things for yourself. Certainly we're not perfect, we don't aim to be the least expensive, but we have a lot of personality and I think we might grow on you.

    Remember, your money at DO also helps fund a wealth of tutorials that admins all over the world use to make their lives a little easier. There's a lot more to say about a company than X resources for Y dollars. But maybe those things are what matter most to you, and that's totally okay. No one's going to judge you for it. Heck, it's why most of us are on LET :)

    Not really, Linode is still often much faster.

    What CPU models are they using in most locations in the meantime?

    Last time, I got E5 2630v0 at NYC3 and E5 2630L v2 at SGP1, and some v3 at SGP1 but I forgot the model

    Much faster in what way? I am referring to the speed they are developing at, i.e, locations, features and so on, not comparing the speed of the nodes.

    I'm sure he meant, processors/disks or something.. DigitalOcean definitely wins if it comes to improving or adding features.

    Hey, I resemble that remark. Also, it snowed here today, and you can't tell me that smile doesn't melt your heart: https://imgur.com/a/aHSmJ

    needavps said: Is this a price decrease. You tell us and @lee ! thanks :D

    Rather than settle a dispute about the proper use of a particular word, I'd rather ask you if there's any confusion over the changes today themselves. If you can see the prices clearly and understand what you are getting and how much you're paying, that's pretty much the end of the story for me. I'm not interested in whether it's an increase or decrease, so much as whether it meets the continued needs of my customers :)

    I looked up shrew:

    a woman of violent temper and speech

    I'll accept this ;)

    Have started on your speech for the first boyfriend to come around. Best you start early to perfect it and also get your pitch and tone just right. Work on the deranged stare as well.

    He'll come out in full flak with two handguns on each hip, a pair of tongs, and a rather large knife.

    Or, perhaps the more sinister: "You've heard of Mr. Coffee; I'm Mr. Internet. I've seen your tumblr."

    My oldest daughters first turned out to be a girlfriend, I was totally pissed off, speech ruined, I could hardly tell the girl where I was going to hang her balls if she upset my little girl...

    Well, you still could, but you'd be mansplaining.

    It feels like "once per decade" is a reasonable estimation of how often it happens. I dunno about sea level, too far away to think about it ;)

    This is my rough draft:

    I've already seen your private messages on facebook. Those pictures you sent on snapchat? Got those too. Don't even get me started on the kind of porn you don't tell your friends that you watch. Have her home at 11, unless you want to be the latest victim of cyber bullying. My cron job kicks off at 11:01.

  • Throw a guy a bullet and tell him if she's late the next one is thrown faster.

    Finally Digitalocean slash their price to match with Linode/Vultr. Now their lowest plan has 1GB RAM and 30GB SSD.

    DO also introduce new plan at $15 with variable core (1-3 cores) and RAM (1-3 GB).

    https://blog.digitalocean.com/new-droplet-plans/

    Weird how no one pointed out that it's actually 25gb on their cheapest plan...

    Also it's just 0,00000058382 BTC/hour, but it may be different next hour.

    It's nice to see DO finally being competitive. I will be spending at least $20 more this month.

    Regarding existing instances, will they be upgraded or does this only apply to new instances?

    Edit: Resize apparently upgrades existing instances without loss of data.

  • Been playing with DO for a year on student credit. Finally needed a true dev-box and added some money. Immediately specs increased, so that's money well spent.

  • nicely done do!
