ServerBear Performance Comparison of Rackspace, Digital Ocean, Linode and Vultr

Whoops, sorry. We just killed the RS node because it is expensive
You can test that RS ping against mangolassi.it instead. Same location, same node type. Sorry.

With the RS nodes being so expensive... why would you not stand them up on DO or Vultr?
Edit: I mean for production and not tests like this.

Running now. Will update my above post.

Well DO and Vultr were not well known or well tested at the time that most of the RS nodes were created. And RS still offers a lot of features that those do not, like load balancers. But these days, the advantages to RS are fewer and fewer.

Right now, we are favouring a migration to Vultr. But the Linode test is running and is a major contender. Information on that to follow....

OMG WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!
Linode just took everyone out back and took their lunch money!! They have load balancers too!! (a la Rackspace and Amazone.) Look at that IO capacity!!! And that UNIX Bench! Their single thread was by far the fastest too!

Wow. That's fantastic.

I'm so excited. No question that they are by FAR the hardest to use, but who cares. That performance is crazy!!

Rewarded complexity is fine by me
-
Throughout the range, Linode comes in either as cheap or cheaper than everyone else, too. It pretty much tracks Vultr until it outscales them. Then it matches or beats DO.
-
Of additional consideration... Vultr and RS cap out pretty small. DO and Linode make massive single nodes, which is important when we are running epic databases, which we are doing. The growth rate on the database is quite healthy.

That's just painful, but have to expect that to happen now and then. Guess I'll start an overnight ping test, see how bad it still is.
Edit: Never mind, don't have the IP address for the Linode.

Here is the blog response to that...

It's already offline but I will get you a new one privately in a few minutes.

Will Mangolassi be moving to Linode?

Nope Mongolassi doesn't exist!
