Beloved low cost VPS provider and 2nd place in the LET recent survey, RamNode has launched a new service way out west and up north in Seattle, Washington.
Supply became available in the past 24 hours and is going fast.
Been real impressed with RamNode in Atlanta, and in the market for something annual and out west, so here we go.
New location features the same bandwidth mix as in Atlanta, Tinet+nLayer.
Opted for the annual, 128MB OpenVZ Cached, as monthly bills are a jungle mess and sick of them. Heck 128MB is what I am trying to limit things to where I can anyways. No 2GB of oversold fake RAM here.
Code:
# wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash

These tests for bandwidth, I am often umm, well, suspect of. Vary depending greatly on number of factors and not always indicative of quality of a facility. Pretty good numbers in most places.
Looks promising. Disk speed is super.
Routing is bound to need tweaked by RamNode, expected I am sure.
Looking forward to seeing RamNode grow and ideally mix their bandwidth up with a third provider.
