Thanks for the comment and initial feedback! Uptime and service is definitely something which is hard to do, but at the top of our list on things to focus. And as always with services like ours - we are in the business of trust, we need to earn it over time so we're not expecting miracles. Thanks for the localisation tips as well - much appreciated :)

One other thing I noticed - backups are attached to servers at present. What I would really like to be able to do is this: 1. Backup any server to a central store of backups 2. Set up new servers from those backups Having the backups attached to a server make them a little less useful (I assume they'll go away if you delete a server?). The above would let me have a known-good setup saved and ready to use and use that to create new servers (rather than cloning off an existing server as you currently offer), and thus save on setup time for common server types. If you have to clone a current server to set up new ones, either you have to keep a blank 'template' current server around, or live with duplicating all the existing server files even though you might not want them for the new server.

  Thanks for the feedback! Even though our control panel describes the backups as server dependant, backups are in their technical sense separate storage entities. The downside is that our control panel doesn't currently allow the creation of new instances from backups (but you can naturally clone running or stopped instances - which many of our customers do). You can circumvent this through our API for the time being, which allows backups to be cloned to regular disks through the clone storage -function. We're adding this functionality to our control panel soon though.
