I completely disagree about the website design, I think it's amazing.
As for the announcement, a $25 slice, a little more bandwidth, I agree, unimpressed.
I don't think it mattered that they matched Linode's prices like others are saying. Their prices are fine for such minor differences.
Personally, I was hoping for backups on slices over 2GB.
- davidw 17y agoThe differences are not minor, though. 20$ gets you 256M on Slicehost, 360 on Linode. You also have to factor in that you're forced to use 64 bits on the Slicehost system, so you get less bang for your buck.
- joeyh 17y agoYou're only forced to use 64 bit userspace on slicehost if debootstrapping a 32 bit chroot and replacing the root filesystem with it live is too scary. :) The real nice thing about linode is they allow running your own custom linux kernel.
- spicyj 17y agoIf someone writes a tutorial, more people would do it. I wanted to when I was on Slicehost, but ended up just switching to Prgmr instead because it was easier.
- davidw 17y agoEven were it a straight comparison, Linode is still cheaper, so why would I pay for the privilege of fooling around every time I want to set up a new instance?
