It's why whenever anyone asks me about virtual servers, Linode.com is the ONLY place I tell them to check out. Great prices, Excellent service, and then along comes more RAM and double Xfers. Absolutely unbloodybelievable. Kudos to you all. Cheers :D You guys are legends mate. It’s why whenever anyone asks me about virtual servers, Linode.com is the ONLY place I tell them to check out.

When people have init scripts that don't hang on shutdown and the like (read: configured correctly) reboots are very quick. BTW, Boot jobs will always report back a duration of just a few seconds -- that's how long the host took to process the job, not the actual startup time of your Linode and all its init scripts, etc. -Chris [quote:4074cd5f59="Xan"]Caker, is this some fancy new quickboot feature?[/quote]

Edit: I set up my home box to ping my Linode, and then clicked "Reboot". I was of course expecting a minute or two of dropped packets, which would indicate exactly when my Linode was down and then up. But the pings never stopped... Upon investigation the duration of the startup job was listed as 1 second, and sure enough, my Linode's uptime indicated a recent reboot, and the new RAM was there.

Next you'll be increasing disk space again, then migrating to even faster machines, then more memory again then you'll start having people come into our houses to wash the dishes and vacuum the carpets.... (actually I'll pay an extra $5/month for that last service :-)) Are you guys just trying to drive the competition out of the market?
