Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap but fast xen VPS either in Chicago or NYC? (Like under $7/month cheap)
Could be worth sifting through some of these: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=104 Otherwise I would definitely post in the main forum.

#13I'm still amazed how quick people are to forget what happened with Linode. Massive security issue (i.e. Bitcoin incident) where hackers got root access to any Linode VPS at the click of a button. Loyal customers were the last to hear about it (through their website no less) and absolutely no proper explanation was or has been given as to what happened, what was done about it and whether it will happen again. You look…
They really offer a very good service over all, but their transparency is atrocious.

#16It requires you to pay for service until the end of July first. And then you may get the credit (if you were fast enough). Seems like a so-so deal to me.

I've complained about this via their support channels a few different times. They're in the middle of a what seems like a very big security fixing phase right now relating to "something provided by one of their vendors". When I asked about it I was basically told to go away. They really offer a very good service over all, but their transparency is atrocious.
