We run KVM for virtualization.

IPv6 is slated for sometime later in 2013, we've had a lot of customers request it and probably closer to Spring / Summer we will be testing it. As for unlimited bandwidth that is something we offered because we didn't have time to write ba

Sorry to hear about your experience as a growing start-up we definitely run into issues with growth. We do not offer monthly plans, everything is on a per-usage basis except we default to a monthly price to keep billing simpler for our user

We dont currently offer any long-term discounts because a customers usage is variable based on how many servers they spin up/destroy.

We're big on listening to customer feedback so we're going to address that issue sooner rather than later. =] When bandwidth pricing is introduced it will be in line with the pricing that we have for SSD/512MB servers so it will still be on

That lines up with our lease structure for hardware which is 36mo. It also lines up with the continuing improvements in server density which compensates for the increased costs in power usage and rack space so it just encourages good behavi

Thanks! Everyone has growing pains we are no exception, and today every little hiccup is public, but it's good because it makes the service overall more resilient so we welcome all feedback positive and negative because it ultimately leads

We are figuring out what the soft cap will be based on our customers usage and averaging that out, right now we are considering something in the 2TB-5TB range. Honestly we just didn't prioritize traffic accounting as other features were a p

Also true of regular harddrives, just the nature of the game when technically all of the harddrives are under the same load due to RAID and even with different manufacturing times the loads are the same so it's hard to estimate how far apar

We have a 45-90 second delay on our front-end firewall, we are also doing a few code deploys right now so it takes a little while to reset. Our focus is always on ensuring that virtual servers that customers run are unaffected, but its grea

True =] We should have spun up some more web servers to handle the load, as an IaaS provider most of the time you are serving little front-end traffic, but lesson learned. :)

We offer a free 3 hour trial and if you register with a credit card or a PayPal payment you get an extra $1.25 credit which is the equivalent of running a 512MB virtual server for free for close to week so you can test things yourself in pr

I dont want to steer you in the wrong direction and say yes and then all of a sudden there's a change in AUP/TOS and your account gets flagged. With something like that you are usually best of running on dedicated hardware just to ensure ev

We've allowed specific customers to run Tor but made it very clear that all activity would fall under our AUP/TOS. Unfortunately it has generated a bit of abuse so we are considering revising our AUP to no longer allow Tor traffic.
