DO's offering is certainly refreshing but why does a single provider get that many upvotes on basically any customary amendment? They are nothing more than what Mediatemple is/was to the designer fraction.

because it's trendy. people like trends, especially the technology industry. larry ellison has an interesting rant about this on youtube.

I know...

I've noticed that performance has been reduced greatly lately on their offering. Has anyone else noticed this? Also had a few machines randomly reboot. /edit Just now I'm unable to join using the console access on a few of my droplets. I'm on a pretty fast internet connection (60MBps).

Curious about the performance hits you're experiencing, feel free to reach out to me directly.

There seems to be a heavy rush on the region at the moment, creating a 1gb box took 17 minutes, now I'm waiting for 5 minutes for a power-off to enable private networking... `sudo shutdown` worked, but the admin job queue seems to not check on that. I'll try again tomorrow :)

They are also A/B giving a $10 promo credit by email to some users apparently.

a/b? Don't think so....??

I got two emails from them (I had two separate accounts with Gmail + aliases). In one of them, they offered me $10, the other they didn't.

"Failed to establish a connection to the console. Please reload." is what I'm getting on most hosts I'm running on.
