I don't often do reviews but when I do they are usually quick and to the point.
I took up the Wable $8 offer when it first came about to try it out, dropped it then picked it back up when I had a use for it.
The offer (which is still current)
1-3 VPS (deploy 1 vps, or up to 3 using your resource bundle!) 3 CPU 2GB DDR-3 ECC RAM 50GB RAID SSD 2-10Gbps Port 6,000GB Bandwidth 9 IPv4 Addresses Dallas, New York City, Seattle (choose any or multiple locations when you deploy)
What I am doing with them
I have a simple setup of 1 VPS in each of the 3 locations.
NY - Laravel projects
Dallas - Ghost projects
Seattle - Backing up NY and Dallas
Performance
Never had any issues in any location, Observium has got a couple of restarts listed but I can't honestly remember if that was Wable or me. I don't run anything that tests the resource to its limit but ultimately it does what I expect it to do. in the past few months.
For the "Nothing matters but speed" junkies.

No actual issues, just questions and they were answered with replies that needed no further info.
The Panel
Their panel is still in development, but it's functional. Basic commands of create, destroy, re-allocate resource, restart, reload OS and set RDNS.
You can request additional IP's from the panel but I have never done it so I can't comment.
Backups, Snapshots, IPV6 and console access would be great. Console access at least is really a must. However I know I can open a ticket should I do something stupid and get someone to go in and do flush my iptables or whatever.
Would even be nice to see KVM as an option in the future but I am getting way ahead of myself there.
Overall
Bottom line is that it's Incero, if it had been someone else I probably would not have touched this service. I know how strict they are on every form of abuse which is a comfort when you don't really want to be sharing a server with the worlds assholes, thanks CC for taking up the slack there.
I would recommend the service without doubt, hopefully the panel enhancements will come along soon, at which point I would upgrade once I know the control I want is available without needing to rely on support.
At the moment for what they offer for a throw away amount of $8 per month I am more than happy to trust the service with some of my personal projects that matter to me enough to only put somewhere I trust.
/the end.
Comments
They didn't deliver on a lot of their promises which didn't make me too happy
Wable is a service that provides a refreshing level of simplicity. If anything, many people's complaints about it seem to come from their preconceived notions based on every other service. It is what it is, straight forward with no failure to communicate itself as such. I like the guys that run it as people in general, but make no mistake, friend or not you don't get compliments from me unless you earn them. Why devalue one's own opinion?
Offer stands, to any unsatisfied Wable customer who can convince me that they were wronged in any way (with my word that personal relationships will be considered irrelevant), I will slap Ryan and post it here for all to see.
If there is none, will you kiss Ryan and post it too?
Those pictures are already out there.
The snappening was devastating for us all.
I was promised the API for quite a while, and kept being told "it'll be here in a week!" and then it didn't...
Well then I do believe...
They are quite stable. Not bad for the price ($0.99/month for me).

XD
;D
Wable was a great service when I tried it.
Thanks for the feedback, we're working on a lot of upgrades but they will take time, as the product matures steadily. We're hitting our main goal, which is stability and uptime. We're certainly not hitting our goals for adding new features as quickly as we would like.
Customers who like Wable can get a free upgrade;
Get 2 additional CPUs/VPS, 4GB additional RAM, and 30GB additional SSD storage by clicking here https://wable.com/?powerboost=1 (only works on Bundle #3 or higher)
Now that I will happily take, good job. Sucks if you are not a customer though :P
Easy Fix
I think that is how this works anyways.....
I am just waiting for the "Is that it, could you not have offered a bigger bonus?" Post.
It's LET, we know its coming :P
Would have be nice if you could create a few more VMs with those extra resources.
/runs for cover
You can though, 2 more
Only 2?
That's it I'm done. Bring on the pro trolling.
People like you disgust me, you want everything for a $1 ..
Assuming you have a $1 at the time.
On wable each CPU allows you to make a new VPS, or you can add many CPUs to a single VPS. So if you have 5 CPUs you can do;
5x 1cpu vps
1x 5cpu vps
2x 2cpu vps, 1x 1cpu vps
etc :-)
@incero
Does this bonus stick if you upgrade. Say no.
You should get this video edited for them to say wable instead of rable and use it for promotion!
Just click the link after you upgrade to get it again.
I got suckered in and upgraded, was too good not to.
Quite frankly it's a disgustingly good deal. I have absolutely no need of a bundle that includes that amount of resources and yet I'm still considering it.
7 CPU - 8GB ram - 100GB SSD. Up to 7 VPS in 3 locations all for $24 per month.
I could move $35 of DO droplets to this and that is in addition to what I already had!
@Incero Wow.. thank you for the freebies
Been extremely happy with my $8 plan and this just makes it even more amazing.. might need to upgrade and move a few more things over...
Damn that freebie. Now I am a Wable customer. :-)
You walked in like "Oh hey I found this game changer in my pocket if anyone wants it."
Well, you got me. Now I'm a customer... <_<'
This is evil... pure evil. Must resist.
