  However, I discovered something annoying about Slicehost: they use x86_64 servers, which, per se, doesn't really matter to me - I use open source code that can run on any number of architectures. The problem is that this particular architecture uses more

  Linode comes out ahead in ram/bw/cpu/disk per $.

  • I discovered something annoying about Slicehost: they use x86_64 servers, which, per se, doesn't really matter to me - I use open source code that can run on any number of architectures. The problem is that this particular architecture uses more memory than plain old x86. Significantly more.
  • I don't really know what sort of response times, uptime, and all that either Slicehost or Linode have, so there are potentially some big intangibles there that are not quite as easy to draw pretty charts for.
  • I liked Slicehost's simplicity more - Linode gives you more options, but they're a bit fiddly and cluttered feeling at times.
  • we get x86 taking up 77% the memory that x86_64 does.
  • "Virtual Private Server" systems, or simply VPS's, got a bad name in the past because they were "overbooked" - too many virtual servers competing for the same CPU resources on one machine. Slicehost and Linode both look like they want to avoid that kind of bad reputation, and so far all the systems I have used have felt snappy and responsive.
  • when we factor in the relative prices, Linode comes out ahead, again:
