OK so happily I am not the first new Linode customer to mistake the Host for the Network when trying to connect to my host. I do have a couple ideas of how to clarify the page /members/linode/ and wanted to see how that might work, or not, for other folks. I've only ever had a few Linodes to look at in the manager so people with lots of hosts might be the most qualified to comment on the impact of changes.

Awesome ASCII art of current table (sans Remove and Edit)

 Linode | Status | Plan | Network | Location | Host
 42dna  | Up     | 360  | x.x.x.x | GA       | atlanta46.linode.com
 yoritc | Up     | 360  | x.x.x.x | GA       | atlanta46.linode.com
 ramtc  | Up     | 360  | x.x.x.x | NJ       | newark22.linode.com
 ...

Suggestion is to group by Host something like the below

 atlanta46.linode.com Atlanta, GA
 Linode | Status | Plan | Network
 42dna  | Up     | 360  | x.x.x.x
 yoritc | Up     | 360  | x.x.x.x 
 ...

 newark22.linode.com Newark, NJ
 Linode | Status | Plan | Network
 ramtc  | Up     | 360  | x.x.x.x
 ...

 $Host $Location
 ...

Imagine x.x.x.x as the actual IP, edit links where they are now, etc.

I can't think of anything else I'd group Linodes by. Thoughts?

Hmm, the thing is that I wouldn't normally want two or more of my linodes to be on the same host. In case a host machine goes down (and they do go down from time to time), I want at most one of my linodes to go down with it. So if I purchased a couple of linodes and found that they were on the same host, I'd ask one of them to be moved to a different host.

Which means that your suggestion, neat as it is, isn't quite useful to me... I'd only see one linode per host. But maybe that's just me.

Having said that, I think the "Network" column should be renamed to "IP Address" or something like that. "Network" is way too ambiguous a word to put in there, even if what it means is pretty transparent in this case.
