Totally unrelated to the article, but I've got to put my good word in for Linode. I've never had such good service from a hosting provider, and frankly for a (currently) tiny account.

I've been running http://wasitup.com on Linode the last months and I've been pleased with their stablity except for a 9 minute network outage earlier today (to their credit they were able to resolve it quickly while communicating the status to us end users). For my opinion on the performance characteristics you'd have to read my article on the matter: http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison
" Good Afternoon,
At approx 12:10pm, we lost communications with some of our equipment in our Newark, NJ location. Upon investigation, it was discovered that equipment located in the cross connect area had lost power. Customers may have noticed degraded internet service for about 2-5 minutes while routers propagated through alternative providers. As of 12:23pm, power has been restored in the Newark, NJ site. We are still investigating the cause of the problem."

You can blame the ever so unreliable ISP Nac Net, we use them in our office which cut out as well.

Thanks for the clarification. I've been thinking of running http://wasitup.com from 3 different Linode data centers for a while to remedy problems like this (the service currently runs on 3 different racks in the NJ data center). I would first have to find a way to send Tokyo Tyrant data encrypted/authenticated over WAN first.
One article I saw implicated a Rackspace server in the attacker's side of event. I presume that meant Slicehost. If I was breaking into computers "off the clock", I'd probably look to just-a-CC# no-questions-asked hosting providers (probably overseas) as my staging ground. This is something new. Commodity virtualized VPS systems like Slicehost are an awfully convenient way to launder attacks. It's only been in the la…

Yeah, I've had a $20 Linode virt for a couple of years and it's been pretty reliable.
I want to get one for me but I don't want to get rammed in the ass when I realize it is not enough and need to upgrade to at least 1GB.
I see I can get 1GB RAM at prgmr.com for the same $20

If you can figure out a cut-out way to pay for the server time then there isn't much anyone can do to track it without getting on the ground and forcing local police forces into at least trying to make some headway.
So in effect it is kinda the same as it used to be (overseas, no questions providers) but instead of the servers being the overseas bit it is just the payment (and I guess they rely on the fact intrusion is hard to detect, unlike say spam, coupled with the sheer number of people buying instances daily now).
(our stuff led to Eastern Europe so it is unrelated - but the principle is similar).

Is a $20 vps (360MB ram) enough for a small website? I want to get one for me but I don't want to get rammed in the ass when I realize it is not enough and need to upgrade to at least 1GB. I see I can get 1GB RAM at prgmr.com for the same $20
