    I have 2 vps with ramnode and 6 vps with linode.Linode have advantage with offering 8 CPU cores and ramnode have advantage offering SSD.If you need cpu power go with linode, if you need much more I/O go with ramnode.They are both stable.

    @Frost I'm not sure what I've done to offend you, but you seem to have some bone to pick on a personal level.

    Anyway, regarding your ignorance:

    1 - You have no idea what our finances look like, and there is no issue with uptime related to finances or any other factor. Your assumptions there are baseless (and frankly puzzling).

    2 - We don't rely on a data center to apply nullroutes. We do this ourselves in all three locations, with full control and automation built into each (as @jimpop indicated). We run our own network in the US (AS3842) with 30Gbps in Atlanta and soon to be 30Gbps in Seattle.

    Chances are Linode gets DDoSed a ton more than RamNode due to sheer size. RamNode's just a lot more transparent about which nodes are getting DDoSed. And that transparency is a major plus factor to me.

    Right, I've considered just not posting anything about DDoS to Twitter but I'd rather have people know what is going on than just let packet loss occur without explanation. Thankfully with RamNull in place, my posts are less frequent (and I sleep a bit more).

    RamNull was developed and implemented by RamNode

    This damn thing nullroute random IPs from NL subnets atleast once or twice per month :P

    You are comparing apples to oranges.

    That's what Frost try to explain to you ;-) You are the one who comparing apples to oranges. Nick is doing well, especially for LOW END segment but he's still miles away from Linode. Year and half of successful benchmarking is a good enough for LEB world but that's far from mature product. Come back in 5 - 10 years and if things will be still as great or even better we will be at same page.

    I also recently dropped a Prometeus server because they still don't have IPv6 in Dallas

    You did not know that Dacentec doesn't have IPv6? That's hardly a news.

    As indicated on Twitter and our website, it wasn't nullrouting randomly. If you are really unaware of what was going on, PM me and I'll fill you in.

  • GuanYu said: You did not know that Dacentec doesn't have IPv6? That's hardly a news.

    It is news in 2013. IPv6 has been available for well over 10 years. That means if your provider isn't offering you an IPv6 enabled network infrastructure, it's probably 10 year old routers and switches. ;-)

    I know that some jerk or more of them target random IPs from those subnets, or atleast you said this before. It's damn scary to see those nullroute notifications for idle boxes first time.

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    I hate IPv6. Not the theory or the potential, just the implementations of upstream providers. Comcast just got around to adding IPv6 for me, thank you for the lower quality bandwidth that follows...

    +1 For ramnode, i have read so many reviews on lots of SSD performance VPS hosters so i have purchase 2 from ramnode and now waiting for seattle kvm to get instock to get more. Very Fast, great support from the team, easy setup & benchmarks hard , they compare good on hostingwizard.net

    Moment when fanboy have nothing to say and get intelectual...
    Sigh... Nevermind.

    I've never seen the word fanboy used this many times in this short of a time period on LET without an android thread.

    Used to be because everyone with an Apple product would walk up to you and tell you that whatever you owned was crap and theirs was better. After years of that only happening to me by people with laggy pocket sized tablets I decided it's now the other way around :P

  • I am satisfied Ramnode client! :) I just see things differently that some fanboys :p

    Aren't you the guy who just said you were scared over some tweets? :-)

  • I personally would go with RamNode. Even though Linode is pretty reliable, I believe that others can provide the same level of service for at a significantly lower cost; all you're really paying for with Linode is the name. I have been with RamNode now for a few months and I haven't had any issues beyond a minor hiccup with IPv6. Additionally, @Nick_A and his staff are very responsive not only in tickets but also in their IRC channel.

    Thanked by 1Nick_A
  • @progex - No question about it, RamNode FTW! They are rock solid!

    In reference to Linode, you might want to read this (a very solid review :P): http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/4706/why-linode-sucks-a-personal-rant/p1

    But earlier you did say:

    @GuanYu said:

    So, either you were the target of a DDoS (and saw the personal email), causing some harm for your network neighbors, or you read the RamNull notifications on twitter. Either way....

    I like helping the misguided, esp around the holidays. :-)

    Detective work? Like I said you're talking about things you have no clue, drawing conclusions and making idiot from yourself.

    Let me explain you, detective.
    Ramnode IP subnets in Netherland were two or three times under attack lately. Random IPs over all their nodes. First time when I got "RamNull, our automated DDoS mitigation system, has detected an attack against your IP" notification I was like wtf... It's never nice to see this not knowing what's going on. That's why I said it was scary to see it first time. At beginning client who get this notification can't know that he's not the target specifically and that all others experienced the same.

    So much about your highly intellectual "either way"detective.

  • Repeating the word "intellectual" when you can't even spell it half the time is just plain funny.

    Thanked by 1jimpop
  • GuanYu said: drawing conclusions and making idiot from yourself.

    The proper phrase is "making an idiot of yourself", although kudos for getting it close... language differences, etc.

    GuanYu said: Ramnode IP subnets in Netherland were two or three times under attack lately. Random IPs over all their nodes.

    I followed that whole episode on #ramnode, just like a lot of people did. For a few hours, someone sequentially (not exactly randomly) DDoS'ed some IPs. My RamNode NL services weren't impacted at all. It was hardly a show stopping event, and maybe only cost Nick a few hours of lost sleep.

    GuanYu said: You're one crappy detective, you know... ;-)

    I'm not a detective, that's why you're failing in trying to compare me to one. I'm glad I could help you sort through that, holidays and such. :-)

  • jimpop said: I followed that whole episode on #ramnode, just like a lot of people did. For a few hours, someone sequentially (not exactly randomly) DDoS'ed some IPs. My RamNode NL services weren't impacted at all. .

    And your point? That you knew it at the same moment when happened? Good for you, mec, but I have no clue what this have to do with anything said above.

  • @jimpop
    Half things in your responses have no connection with conversation. Just saying bro.

  • GuanYu said: but I have no clue what this have to do with anything said above.

    No problem, I'm glad to be able to help you understand it.

    Earlier you stated:

    GuanYu said: It's damn scary to see those nullroute notifications for idle boxes first time.

    To which I (eventually) replied:

    jimpop said: I followed that whole episode on #ramnode, ..... It was hardly a show stopping event

    .. implying that you were easily scared by a minor event.

    Does that help? :-)

  • jimpop said: To which I (eventually) replied

    Actually you messed up things and replied with

    Aren't you the guy who just said you were scared over some tweets

    Just saying again bro.
