Re: High-Memory Instances and $5 Linodes
#2I would love to add a couple of gigs of RAM to an existing linode for a small monthly fee. But there's this dropdown on the "extras" page, "90 MB additional ram - $5.00 / mo", down to "360 MB additional ram - $20.00 / mo". Yes, those are MEGAbytes. As in, you can get a 4.36G/ram node for twice the price as a 4G/ram node. Very strange.

#3Nice to see Linode stepping up again and competing hard with DO.
Other than the Christmas 2015 DDOS, I have never had any significant issues with Linode. Especially in the Dallas DC.

#4Might finally get me to give up my ChunkHost account for throw-away servers.

#5OVH.com is selling 2GB VMs for 2.99 Euros per month. No idea about over-provisioning or any comparison with Linode though.

#6In the past they kept changing their pricing. I was paying for the smallest one (static site and a few prototypes) around $150/yr. Then they advertised that per-use would be mandatory and cheaper for everyone. I kept the site there barelly receiving any hit, using 0% of cpu and network. Endedup paying well over $250 after 12 monthly charges.

#7Is this a bold move by Linode, or am I the only Linode customer (7 years going) who chose them in part because they steered clear of the bottom of the market?

I'll say this as someone who's pretty happy being on Digital Ocean - Linode's support is amazing. If they had had a $5 price point for one-and-done projects forever ago, I would have never used DO.

I've always felt that those options were mostly there as a stopgap while you migrate to a larger instance or figure out another plan. I don't think they want most users adding features a la carte as that would throw off their numbers and make it difficult to efficiently provision instances.

Those are legacy options and to the best of my understanding are not available on new accounts or after switching legacy accounts to hourly billing.
