Currently I am in the progress of moving our data center from current data center (everyone-theplanet) to linode.I decided to use Newark,new jersey USA,since our targeted visitors are Europe,Canada and north east America .Linode new jersey uses NAC backbone operator, i'm really excited with the ping time of data center especially for Europe area.Before this i had been looking the best value VPS out there. I found two VPS provider,that seems the best value, these providers are slicehost and linode.
At the first time, i was choosing slicehost, but finally i decided to use linode,and now I am being their customer.The reason i used to decide these things are :
-Linode has the better price ,compare with slicehost you can get more storage space, Dedicated RAM,and off course less money.I use Linode 540 (29.95 USD/month) ,where i can get 540 megabyte,the competitor package of slicehost is slice 512 (38 USD/month), you only get 512 megabyte RAM.
-Linode fully supported 32 bit architecture,as we know 32 bit application uses less memory than 64 bit.In other side,slicehost only support 64 bit, that uses more memory.
-In Linode we can choose the one of four data centers out there,if you are not satisfied with the data center you can move to other data center, you can contact Linode support through their ticket support system to make this happen.
-And best of all, i like their cool control panel to build and create disk node.
Since i just signed up, currently, i would not able to let you know, how performance and good of their services is.
