What SLA do you have with them? I'm pretty sure it is the one where they will give a credit for the time they are down, I'm also pretty sure that your hosting on max a $90 Linode so that would be like $6.

There are SLA's available from hosts that will give the whole month ,1/4 or even year back if they miss even a single month's 99.99%

This is past a joke now this whole period of downtime but still Linode is not a big dollar hosting outfit, need a plan B for when a region or all of Linode goes down.

yes my Atlanta linode just runs a few old non essential services and has been failing on its own randomly over the last through months mainly due to neglect. I assumed it was failing when I got the first few pingdom alerts over Christmas and rebooted it several times.

They should have done a mail out.

I want to cut Linode some slack they have been great but those were my thoughts when the employee above divulged that info. It all seems a little like using cold fusion to run your whole shop..

People dont need to jump ship they need plans in place to deal with problems like this, even just a rsync.net account.

Its a concern of mine with AWS, no downtime but a $30k for the day of fun bill. Got to tie up this loose end before I wake up broke one day.

AWS

Same have been a customer virtually from the start, all my important stuff is with AWS these days but there are still a few minor things at Linode and its getting annoying.

They will come back better from this thou. Its sad to see their business going partly down the drain, will be a huge hit.

If I had anything of use at Linode right now then I would be long gone, not many businesses could afford a week like this.
