      Holy crap, that's huge. Worth noting that they dropped their 768MB tier in moving to this. Not complaining, just pointing it out to help make it clear what moved to where.

            Yup, I'm surprised, but pleasantly.

              It was still cheaper than DO because it was the same price for 768 with them as it was for 512 with DO. I wonder why they dropped the tier entirely? 256MB can have a decent impact on a machine, would have been nice to keep it.

                The race to the bottom is alive and well I see

                For an idea to drive traffic to ML: review / test all the cheap providers monthly - cost per unit of performance

                  MangoLassi score = (IOPS * Bandwidth * CPU Benchmark) / Price

                  something like that would be useful and entertaining

                    It would have been the $3.50 tier 🙂

                      That's what the hosted cloud space will do. Price is a huge factor in it.

                          My guess is that they want people on that tier currently to either have to move or to continue paying the $5 price without getting the $5 current value 😉 Lots of providers do that, like Linode. If you aren't prepared to shift your workloads around, taking advantage of price changes is very difficult to do.

                            Ya that's true I didn't think of it that way. I was thinking of places with large workloads because an extra $1 a month isn't a lot until you get up there in size, but I didn't think about this angle.

                              Awesome news! I love the competition among all of these VPS providers.

                                As long as they all stay viable.

                                  @scottalanmiller Right, they can't get to the point where performance suffers. One way I could see that happening is if they "over-provision" their equipment.

                                  What do you specifically mean by "staying viable?"

                                    Well over provisioning is one way to become not viable - i.e. customers won't use you because your service stinks because you over provision and make things slow.

                                      At some point they cut the cost so much that there is no profit in it.
