There's a VPS provider whom I am infatuated with[0] and I'd love an easy objective way to compare them with Amazon/Linode.

The only concern is that they only have 2 datacenters and they're both in the Netherlands.

Well, the only thing that you need is to execute the tests on the three of the providers, and compare them yourself if you want. Those are the keys of the project so far, reproducibility, independency and transparency.

I'm inclined to expand the review, but only if I find a way to get free credits from providers or another way to finance the tests. But right now, the best thing I can offer you is the same tools that I used here in the repository itself.

Their pricing model seems similar to http://clouding.io, but it forces you to get more CPU if you want, say, 8GB RAM. It's a bit cheaper with HDD instead of SSD though.

Just wondering; why do you prefer them over TransIP for instance?

Ease of access to engineers, transparency when it matters.

And I've never had a node go down, that helps.
