I have been using linode for many years now. One of my linodes died after a reboot, and their tech support could not figure out what was wrong. So, the suggestion was use one of the weekly backups that I have been paying for. Well, the backup does not work - boots into a kernel panic. Tech support now says that I should start over with a new linode and redeploy the data from my personal backups, and not theirs.

Needless to say, I am looking for another Linux virtual hosting company. I have modest needs. A couple of low volume web sites in Java/MySQL and Python - I need more RAM and disk space than high bandwidth. Linode is $20/month for 2 GB RAM, 48GB disk.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark
