It scares me when they come out with great deals like this. Will there be a tipping point, when Linode cease to be great because they're overstretched?

- blhack 16y agoI doubt it. My guess is that they have a usage-per-server stat and don't go over that. For example, 10 VPSs per physical server, no more. If we're going to up 1000 new VPS, we're going to need 100 new physical servers.
- sparky 16y agoGP may have meant "great" in terms of support; that's one of the most often-cited benefits of Linode over other providers. They appear to give a crap about their customers and are very responsive over several open communication channels (forums, IRC, etc.). That may or may not scale if they were to someday have 100x the customers.
