@mthaddon:
Re. the 50% extra disk: That was from the LAST upgrade. After this upgrade, it will be double THAT.

I'm on host45, so I haven't gotten the boost yet, but I care about keeping my 2 ip addresses constant, so I'm gonna wait it out.

Great news Chris, you always deliver when I'm running low on resources.

Linode.com A+ as usual.

nice

I had noticed that other services offered better resources for the same price a few weeks back, but I wasn't going to change because I've had good experiences here and bad experience with bargain-basement operations.

Periodic resource bumps even if it goes over and above what I've agreed to pay for reinforce this decision.

Moreover, when I refer colleagues/clients to you and you do this sort of thing, it makes me look good.

mthaddon: RAM won't happen whilst you're live - you get it on reboot.

Any updates on when the remaining Fremont hosts will be upgraded?

I'm eager to start using these new resources

I think I'm going to switch to annual payments after the upgrades to get an even bigger upgrade to disk space. That means I'm going from 4 GB to 12 GB... not bad at all! I'll probably start using the space for backups.

As it's 10 days (in my TZ) since the last status update, any more news on Dallas?

We've completed negotiations for two more cabinets in Dallas late last week. We've got servers ready to ship, with more components on order. I'm still going to say 3-4 weeks, but possibly sooner.

We'll start the upgrades for the remaining Fremont hosts this week (honest).

It's been almost two weeks, so I thought I'd bump this to ask if there is a more specific eta for us poor souls who haven't had the resource bump yet?

Cheers,
Andrew

Ditto. I'm waiting with bated breath!

On another note, with all the recent upgrades, I'm now beginning to get confused on what I've purchased vs. what I'm now getting for my original purchase. Looking at my very first invoice (dated April 08, 2004), I purchased a Linode 384. Based on caker's original post, that now translates to a Linode 768 host, right? And that means that disk space will be 24GB (vs. 12GB at what a 384 node is rated at now?) when the migration is finished for my host (host 11)? I'm thoroughly lost.

The invoices seem to have updated from what we originally purchased, I originally had a 150 but now my first invoice says 384. So since the invoices have been updated, you're stuck with a Linode 384 unless you want to shell out the extra cash.

According to:

http://web.archive.org/web/200404011047 ... inodes.cfm

If you got a linode 384 in 2004, you got something that wasn't even on the list. So, you must have been spending some pretty serious cash at the time.

I got what was essentially a 64 in early 2005, and it went to an 80 (sept 28, 05), then a 100 (jun 16, 06), then a 128 (jan 18, 07), and it will now be a 256 after The Planet gets their act together. So, if you got your node in 2004, I'd say you are looking at something close to 4x whatever you originally had.

Dallas Update: Hosts are ready to ship to Dallas. As soon we're told they are ready to rack them for us, it will be ~ 5 days to bring them up (ship, rack, test).

Fremont Update: The Migration Queue tool is available for those on host9 - host26. All other Linodes in Fremont have already received the upgrade.

If I'd been privy to that link you posted, I'd have not even asked my questions. It's obvious from my post that I didn't know of this, at least to me. One should wonder why invoices from 2004 would reflect recent price changes anyways, so it's easy so assume the invoices have not been altered.

Based on that link, and after doing the math, I bought a 96 node. Anyone know why the 2004 invoices changed?

You could chalk this one up to a design flaw. Your invoice item records point to the package, where the label is -- so when the package name changes, so do old invoices. I have a note to fix this (by copying the package label into the invoice item record), but it won't fix old invoices...

Thanks, Chris.

I've just migrated to Fremont. I also have so much more disk space to play with that I'm now planning a whole refresh.

Every time I think I've seen it all in regards to stellar support, you go over the top...I've recommended my friends to try Linode.com and one already has and loves it. Keep up the good work and more business will come your way by word-of-mouth alone!

Thanks again!
