Tis the season and all, and since it feels good to give I just couldn’t resist. We’ve increased the RAM on all plans by 20%, for new and existing customers! Linode 300 becomes [b]Linode 360[/b] Linode 450 becomes [b]Linode 540[/b] Linode 600 becomes [b]Linode 720[/b] Linode 900 becomes [b]Linode 1080[/b] Linode 1200 becomes [b]Linode 1440[/b] […]

I’ve been busy lately and have got some great new stuff for you: [b]Ajax Job Queue Updates[/b] – If you’ve got JavaScript enabled, your browser will check for changes in job progress more frequently, updating the job queue when there are changes. When a job finishes, the other elements on the page are updated as […]

Linode now has a [url=http://pastebin.com/]Pastebin[/url] site using the software developed by [url=http://blog.dixo.net/]Paul Dixon[/url]. [quote] [The] pastebin is here to help you collaborate on debugging code snippets. If you’re not familiar with the idea, most people use it like this: * submit a code fragment to pastebin, getting a url like http://p.linode.com/1234 * paste the url […]

[b]Clone a Linode’s Configuration/disks to another Linode[/b] This feature enables you to clone a Linode’s configuration and data over to another Linode that is linked to your account. You can select an entire configuration profile to clone — and this will automatically create the configuration profile in the target Linode, and copy all disk images […]

I’ve added a new utility which, in effect, allows you to do some of the whole “High Availability” clustering thing, with IP failover between Linodes within the same data center. The utility does not manage or configure IP failover for you, but it does allow the selected IP addresses from linked Linodes to be brought […]

[b]Datacenter selection on first log in[/b] You can now select the geographic location of your Linode during the inital login! Here’s how it works: Upon your initial login (or the first “switch to” for a new Linode added to an existing account), if there’s availability in any of our other datacenters for the Linode plan […]

[b]Self-Serve Removal of Extras[/b] You no longer need to submit a support ticket to have extras removed from your Linode account. This includes removing extra disk space, RAM, monthly data transfer, and IP addresses. The remaining time on the package is credited back to your account, minus one day. This feature gets us out of […]

Crazy caker strikes again! I’ve added 25% disk space to all the plans, for both monthly and annual accounts, for all our existing and new customers! Linode 300 goes from 8 to [b]10[/b] GiB disk space Linode 450 goes from 12 to [b]15[/b] GiB disk space Linode 600 goes from 16 to [b]20[/b] GiB disk […]

[b]Lassie – Linode Autonomous System Shutdown Intelligent rEbooter[/b] Lassie is a shutdown watchdog. It will automatically reboot your Linode if it powers off unexpectedly. It works by detecting that your Linode has powered off without a shutdown job being responsible for the power off condition. To prevent a loop, it will give up after 5 […]

As you know, we’ve replaced all of our hosts over the last few months. We’re in talks with a “technology asset recovery” firm about acquiring them, but thought we’d offer them to customers first. All hard drives have been removed, rails and power cord are included. Here is the build list. If you are interested, […]

You didn’t ask for it, but you’re getting it anyway! I’ve thrown caution to the wind, boarded the crazy train, lost my marbles, and: ➡ Increased the RAM ➡ Doubled the XFER ➡ Eliminated setup fees for new signups Linode 256 becomes [b]Linode 300[/b] with 200GiB XFER Linode 384 becomes [b]Linode 450[/b] with 300GiB XFER […]
