Sounds like a shill. RamNode consistently beats out Vultr on LowEndTalk.

I remember the first days of Vultr when everyone signed up and saw other VMs and other people's billing information. RamNode has a great infrastructure, while most of Vultr's locations are single-homed.

I'd check LowEndTalk and other sites, and ask Vultr about their disk RAID before choosing due to comments like this.

View on HN

On HN, users aren't allowed to accuse others of being shills (or insinuate it) without evidence. An opposing view doesn't count as evidence.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11917707 and marked it off-topic.

Opposing view? I worked there you stupid shit. Keyboard commander, email me if you want proof of the astroturfing. Otherwise fuck right off back to whatever game you were playing :)

We've banned this account for repeatedly violating the HN guidelines.

I assure you, I'm no shill. Like I said, RamNode does very well in benchmarks.

My problem with them is that after being hacked, exposing my personal information, they refused to remove it, citing nebulous "legal reasons" compelling them to retain it (which similar hosts had no issues with).

Frankly I haven't had another exchange with their support, so I can't comment on their service beyond good benchmarks, terrible privacy/security (they're still on SolusVM as far as I know).

Not only that, they've got a pretty interesting attitude to user information in general.

Here's a ticket conversation between the CEO of ramnode and a customer where the CEO Nick essentially attempts to extort the customer for information on one of his friends (me)

Wow, that's appalling behaviour from the CEO of the company. I can't say I'm surprised though, that was roughly what I expect from him after my own interactions.
