VPS Upgrade

As I’ve mentioned before, my blog is hosted on a VPS at Linode. Just under 3 years ago, I moved to my current VPS in their Newark DC to take advantage of their native IPv6 support. I’ve now moved within Linode again, this time to take advantage of their awesome free upgrades.

$20/month gets you a 2GB Xen VM backed by enterprise-grade SSDs, Ivy Bridge Xeons, and a 40Gbps backbone. Think that 40Gbps is going to waste? Think again. I downloaded a 100MB test file from Cachefly in 1.2 seconds. That’s 85.5 MB/s. Consider my mind blown.

Linode Rocks!

As you may know, my site is hosted by Linode, one of the older Linux VPS providers. I was excited when Linode announced native IPv6 support in some of their data centers, but then disappointed when I saw "No ETA" for the Atlanta datacenter where my site was hosted. I had been running my node with Hurricane Electric's IPv6 tunnel service, but I prefer a native solution when I can get it.
