I have not checked lately, but there have been two major features lacking in Linode that have compelled me to move away to AWS: 1. Managed firewall service, such as AWS Security Groups. I really do not want to have to manage hundreds of iptables scripts. 2. Easy point and click, yet advanced private network management such as AWS VPC. Last I checked, I had to run OpenVPN on top of my Linode setup, which really was no…
On other front, Why is it the bigger the instance the small the "upgrade" discount. On lower level you essentially get double the Memory. On Higher end you get 30 - 50% only.
And any plan to upgrade to Xeon-E5 v4? I would love to see Compute and Memory Instances.
Now I will wait for DigitalOcean wishes to Linode! :p
Sounds like a shill. RamNode consistently beats out Vultr on LowEndTalk. I remember the first days of Vultr when everyone signed up and saw other VMs and other people's billing information. RamNode has a great infrastructure, while most of Vultr's locations are single-homed. I'd check LowEndTalk and other sites, and ask Vultr about their disk RAID before choosing due to comments like this.
On HN, users aren't allowed to accuse others of being shills (or insinuate it) without evidence. An opposing view doesn't count as evidence. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11917707 and marked it off-topic.

Not only that, they've got a pretty interesting attitude to user information in general. http://imgur.com/a/TVVXq Here's a ticket conversation between the CEO of ramnode and a customer where the CEO Nick essentially attempts to extort the customer for information on one of his friends (me)
Wow, that's appalling behaviour from the CEO of the company. I can't say I'm surprised though, that was roughly what I expect from him after my own interactions.
Yes. Avoid. Keep snapshots if you have servers with them. All I can say. Ask about their data redundancy, and if servers have RAID. You will not get any clear answer for a reason. Oh, she praised them 49 days ago, she's a shill as well : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11588937
If you have concerns about astroturfing in HN threads, the thing to do is email us (hn@ycombinator.com) so we can look into it. Casually accusing others in the threads, like you've done repeatedly here, is definitely not allowed, so please don't do that again.
