Good to see that Virtovo is looking out for their customers and not just leaving everyone in the dark. Here's a benchmark I did on my FreeBSD VPS:

Personally I like that Linode starts at $20. First it's worth it and second it deters a whole lot of people who I suspect I would rather not share a server with to be honest.

The first Linode plan - for $20/month - had 64MB RAM (Image)

256MB $19.95 https://web.archive.org/web/20070701121358/http://www.linode.com/

Relatively sure they had a $10/month option? I may be wrong, it's been years since I've looked at Linode!

I think Linode just stuck up the middle finger to anyone who wants to pay less than $20/month.

Exactly my point. Linode always was better than DO but the reason people didn't join Linode was because of the pricing.

There is much more than price to decide on. That is the issue, some people like one provider more, even if it costs more because of the other reasons. I am not saying DO is better than Linode, far fro

They've always been considered the go-to for the high end VPS market. With these price cuts, their servers are the same price as DO, and 100% of the time I will choose Linode over DO.

I was linode client in 2012 and 2013. (around 2 years).

Are Linode running their new network over Infiniband? Interesting.

Switching/Routing is expensive unless you use older Force10 refurb gear but i doubt this few hundred k are an issue for Linode.
