for pricing nothing interesting
Welcome to 2015, Linode!
Interesting. Hopefully this will be released to public soon, because I have some machines there which are getting bigger just because we need the extra storage.
And a little bit offtopic, I am waiting fo this feature on DigitalOcean SFO1, any idea @jarland It seems to be the only region that didn't receive any news on the last round about the availability of extra storage, and I have some droplets there fighting for space =(
It's pretty funny. First, people accused VULTR of being a clone of DO (who proceeded to release new and more exciting features, ultimately leading to DO taking inspiration)... Is it Linode's turn yet?
Afraid I don't have any info about that at the moment
SFO2 has block storage...with snapshots and such, it'd be pretty easy to move, no?

0.10/gb for redundant ssd is about normal I think. Similar to Vultr/DO. Online.net has a HA SSD SAN product which is 30 euro/256GB or about 0.12 euro/GB. OVH similar I think. It doesn't seem so easy to do much better.
We all thoroughly appreciate you letting us know that you have no use case for hourly billed self provisioned servers or locally mounted storage volumes. You get a gold star. Everyone is incredibly impressed right now.
Yes, it's expensive. But I've Linode 8GB but I need 20 GB disk more, It's cheaper get additional storage than spin another vps right?
for some reason move to another vps/dedicated server/cloud out of question.
Does not matter if its 3x or 33x replicated as when the disaster strikes all providers and their fan boys will provide you the same lecture: "You should have made your own backups"
You're also assuming they aren't lying.
It's easy enough to just dump a lot of SSD's into a ceph cluster and have 50 - 100TB of SSD cache and you likely able to keep much of your working set in that and off spinning rust.

Someone commenting on this thread took it way off topic to an inappropriate degree and said I could ban them, so I nuked the conversation (and the user) from orbit. I greatly appreciate their permission, following their inability to debate without getting too personal. Discuss that action elsewhere, just leaving the notification here in case anyone wonders what happened.
My Bing skills are weak. Everything I googled about that resulted in either
(1) Adobe propaganda about their Cold Fusion web design thing, or
(2) Pons & Fleischmann stories from the 80s about physics
Do you have a link? Unless you're just pulling my leg...in which case, get your freakin' hand off my thigh.
It's a reference to their original "front end/management/panel" being Cold Fusion powered, not sure if it still is these days?
coldfusion replacement on the way https://github.com/Linode/manager
Yeah well... We are trying to avoid the ip change
you can keep the IP, but contact Support first.
IP blocks are only routed to a single datacenter. There was a time when we would reserve an IP for you if you were creating a new droplet in the same datacenter, but that was removed some time ago.
Damn @Francisco now that I look at ColdFusion, it looks kind of cool. And there's a free open source server now.

"This domain has been banned" at open source server URL.

Let it die man, just let it die
That was my shortest technical infatuation ever.
