I've been running http://wasitup.com http://wasitup.com on Linode the last months and I've been pleased with their stablity except for a 9 minute network outage earlier today (to their credit they were able to resolve it quickly while communicating the status to us end users). For my opinion on the performance characteristics you'd have to read my article on the matter: http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison

You can blame the ever so unreliable ISP Nac Net, we use them in our office which cut out as well. " Good Afternoon, At approx 12:10pm, we lost communications with some of our equipment in our Newark, NJ location. Upon investigation, it was discovered that equipment located in the cross connect area had lost power. Customers may have noticed degraded internet service for about 2-5 minutes while routers propagated through alternative providers. As of 12:23pm, power has been restored in the Newark, NJ site. We are still investigating the cause of the problem."

  Thanks for the clarification. I've been thinking of running http://wasitup.com http://wasitup.com from 3 different Linode data centers for a while to remedy problems like this (the service currently runs on 3 different racks in the NJ data center). I would first have to find a way to send Tokyo Tyrant data encrypted/authenticated over WAN first.

    An easy (if slow) way to do so is to tunnel it through ssh. If things are too slow you can use the "blowfish" algorithm for encryption through the "-c blowfish" option.

      Thanks, I was initially thinking of using tinc, but ssh might be easier to set up.

  Might want to check your contract about nondisclosure requirements on the incident notifications -- which is why I didn't post it.

Totally unrelated, but I'm very happy with wasitup. Had forgotten completely I subscribed when I got a bunch of emails about a sick server. Really helps. On the downside I found a couple of emails in yahoo's bulk folder.
