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 10 GiB disk space
Linode 450 goes from 12 to 15 GiB disk space
Linode 600 goes from 16 to 20 GiB disk space
Linode 900 goes from 24 to 30 GiB disk space
Linode 1200 goes from 32 to 40 GiB disk space

Remember, annual payment gets you an additional 50% of space on top of that. Submit a support ticket if you're interested in switching to annual payments.

Thank you for your business. Enjoy the free upgrade!

-Chris

Caker, I don't want to have your babies, but thank you!

Excellent, thanks!

That means that I can now increase my swap space to be in line with the last RAM increase...

When I first saw this, I thought someone had reactivated the thread from January - my brain obviously couldn't believe a second disk upgrade in less than a year.

Thanks, Linode.

My linode64 (purchases April 2004) with 4.5Gb of disk space is now a linode300 with 15Gb of disk space... I suppose this means I can do bigger better things; maybe play with mysql and php and apache rather than thttpd and simple CGI and flat files Smile

I wonder if there's a marketting opportunity to re-introduce a new lower rate linode128 with lower specs and cheaper per-month fees!

Verizon did this a while back; originally their DSL was slower than 768K, but as improvements happened the base model became 3Mb for the same price. A few years later they re-introduced the 768k service at a new low price.

I've no idea if such a product would introduce current customers to change to a lower service or even if it would entice more customers. But something to think about!

This offer is not just insane, it is downright du-bious.

In all seriousness - very cool.

Caker. I just wanted to say that I recommended a colleague of mine to linode.com a few days ago and he opened an account. So a successful referral and two happy customers including me! When he told me that disk space had gone up for free I said "What? Again?". I couldn't quite grasp that this had happened so many times and that it was happening yet again. Linode is simply unparalleled. Thank you very much.

I sure am glad I signed up. It was due to your awesome IRC chat, and because I was impressed with your committment to the users and the anecdote of a free upgrade. How true that was. So now you are walking in the steps of Google! I also have gotten a client to sign up with you too.

For anyone who thinks caker is crazy actually I left my old horrible ISP when I realized after some years they had kept charging me the high end account charge while giving me less than there lowest service (and were horribly incompetent). So this is very good business.

Love and delicious memory chomp chomp chomp caker!(that's the cookie monster in me). You totally ROCK! Someone else has dibs on making babies with you I will limit myself to recommending the hell out of LINODE.COM. Thank you!
