Linode hosting, referral

[hipikat]

If anyone has an account with Linode, I'm about to get some hosting with them, and if you give me your referral code you'll get $20 off your bill once I've stuck around for three months. First post wins, obviously.

Cheeeers =^.^=

I was thinking first person who reads my journal :)

I dunnooo, Linode look like they've got a pretty sweet setup :)
You can't fight economies of scale, man...
What can you offer for $20/mo?

I'm after hosting in whichever country has reasonable speeds and the least laws =D
Offshore oil rig or somewhere in orbit would be ideal.
Failing that, somewhere in the US is probably most appropriate.

I just spent 10 minutes clicking through your tags trying to find this post. I assumed it would have been tagged something :)

Turns out it was easy to find by just going through your entries.

How's Linode been treating you? I'm tempted to sign up with them.

Sorry for lack of tagging :) I don't tend to tag in such open contexts. On my delicious account I can consciously maintain a controlled taxonomy, but here I find it much harder to categorise now and future entries. Anyway, it's all Googleable, which is more than enough, unlike some people whose posts I keep needing to trawl through for useful answers.

Linode's fucking great. Haven't had any problems, and couldn't be happier with the looseness of the agreement (could op-out mid month, etc.) and what I'm getting for it. The only downside is the unavoidable fact that there's about 0.4s latency thanks to that fucking slug of a constraint, the speed of light. But their online interfaces and the agility with which you can rearrange all your shit can't be beat.
