I've been with Linode for 3+ years and have nothing but good to say about them. Although they're perhaps a little more expensive than other providers their upstream bandwidth is good, my VPS uptime is typically in the hundreds of days (the only outages I've had from Linode have typically been because of power issues at ThePlanet's datacentre in Austin, TX) and at least once a year I've received free upgrades to my VPS plan. -mj -- Michael-John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://mjturner.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

OT: Linode VPSVille (was: Re: virtual private server? advice requested)

I opted for VPSVille, though I'm only paying month-on-month and I'm automating things as far as possible so that I can switch to another VPS provider (or duplicate my server setups) if I want to. VPSVille actually had a few hiccups themselves recently but seem to have recovered quickly. Anyone have any experience with Linode?

It was dead simple to set up, has been completely stable, has seen no host load issues, and the bandwidth has been outstanding. I've been using it as a remote application benchmarking client, so low latency and high throughput was a welcome surprise. The Linode control panel seems to be well thought out. I have no experience with Slicehost (nor VPSville), but what sold me on Linode was the slightly better hardware specs for the same price, and the fact that I did not have to pay up front for 3 months, as Slicehost requires. -- Kind Regards, Michael Shuler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
