I get a 404 everytime I try to update my hostname entries. "Oh no! It seems the page you were looking for has been eaten by Sammy."
We are working on resolving this issue. I apologize for the inconvenience. EDIT: we have resolved this problem. You can now add your hostname
Despite being a long time (and happy!) Linode user, the prices and SSD are just too interesting to pass over. I'm running a small Zarafa based mail server on a 2GB plan with Linode and it could do with more RAM. Perfect opportunity to try out a 4GB "droplet" :)
As a quick follow up in case anyone's interested (having just bought and spun up a 4GB instance), the raw vm performance is fantastic but the control panel functionality is fairly basic in comparison to Linode. AFAICT, you can't: - Choose different kernel images - Resize or alter the disk and swap partitions - Setup a private network interface - Specify what action to take if the vm hangs (watchdog) - Run IPv6 - See…

How do you use this once you have an account?
It looks like you use it when you refill the account. Just used it to add $5 to the account and it worked. I'm impressed.
This is what I see at www.digitalocean.com: The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Then I got a redirect loop. :(
We have a 45-90 second delay on our front-end firewall, we are also doing a few code deploys right now so it takes a little while to reset. Our focus is always on ensuring that virtual servers that customers run are unaffected, but its great to get a nice traffic spike to the front-end to also see real world usage and how we should be updating things for the future.
Any discounts if I buy for an entire year or two?
I tried this service, support was a 5+ hour response time commonly. Latency was terrible and they had DNS issues they refused to acknowledge, I was even issued a 5$ credit, however they still didn't acknowledge their issues. I was also billed metered when I should have been a monthly customer, this being said I will never use any of their services or parent companies services in the future.
We do not offer monthly plans, everything is on a per-usage basis except we default to a monthly price to keep billing simpler for our users, so that was just a misunderstanding on billing.
As for DNS we offered it as a new service in labs, because we were testing it with our customers and improving it based on their feedback. And Im sure if you opened up tickets regarding it, it helped us track down bugs.
Tempting, but no IPv6. That's a deal breaker for infrastructure. I don't want to have to revisit machines later. I'm also a little nervous about the unlimited bandwidth. That seems like it will attract bulk data movers that could affect my traffic. There is no mention of fairness, link utilization, or any kind of traffic allocation policy. I could benchmark it today, but that doesn't help me tomorrow. Still, interest…
As for unlimited bandwidth that is something we offered because we didn't have time to write bandwidth accounting and wanted to focus development on the core service more, we figured that was more important for us in the short run.
We will be switching to paid bandwidth in the future and offering bundled packages with each server and then a simple flat per GB price after that.
