I usually take these in stride. I pay for cheap VPS, and sometimes I pay the price.

is Linode actually cheap though? I have a few boxes with a random no-name provider for 1/3 the price and so far they've haven't seen any down time..

In my experience they stay very competitive on CPU and memory and decently competitive on disk. At my scale and needs I don't know of a better vendor for the dollar.

I noticed that there were over 1k support tickets created during the Fremont outage (based on the unique ID). This is a pretty sizable customer base and must be terribly impacting to have such a prolonged outage.

Did think it was pretty funny my host had to contact their host to figure out what happened.

most (normal?) datacenters have A/B/C power feeds. Also east/west network runs. even if you don't have multi-line PSU's you can at least stagger the racks. part of being cut-rate is that they don't have these things :(

corsite (and all but the lowest end datacenters) will sell you multiple power feeds... but you usually have to pay substantially more for those feeds every month than you would pay for the same watts out of a single feed, and my experience at the newer coresite locations is that the single feed is reliable enough. (when I was in charge of prgmr, we moved from he.net with single feeds... well, we ended up at coresite…

heh.. think I had a rack near prgmr at svtix. I used to play a game with seeing how little information I could give them before they unlock my rack (and usually different people working there)

1) ID, rack hall, rack number, company name. 2) no id, name, etc. 3) no id, company name, "I think it was left?"

all worked fine.
