Well, I guess I won't fit into my old linode64 any more...

Actually thanks to the recent Linode upgrades you can enjoy up to 24 GB of swap memory.

Do they do the thing where the servers swim in deionized water?

Yes. So if you're okay with moving from enterprise grade managed virtualized hardware to desktop grade semi-self-managed hardware (because you have to monitor your HW for failure then pester the support to replace something when it fails) with no benefits of the virtualized environment.

Been there*, done that, moving back to Linode.

Plus, as others have mentioned, I hear their support is a disaster.

a quick google search shows:

Meh is all i can say.


Any very large provider is going to have unhappy customers... It's hard to counter concrete comparisons with something like "Hey guys, we shouldn't switch to OVH because the word on the street is their support is worse!"

Although I have been pushing the "If it ain't broke..." and "Linode's always done right by us..." arguments regardless.
