Spaces: Scalable Object Storage on DigitalOcean

When you say bandwidth, what are you referring to specifically?

The biggest reason Linode didn't make sense for us is that we couldn't scale hard drive space without scaling everything else, too. As the site grew this became pretty crazy.

What I mean specifically is cost of data transfer/bandwidth is cheaper on Linode. If you're pushing 10s or 100s of TB a month its a big deal.

You can still run your own CDN on linode & use amazon s3 as an origin server.

The "locked tiers" model shits me to tears.

I've managed to find a good Xen based vps/dedi host that let you customise memory/disk independently (but regular vps are all "just" 2 vcpus I believe).

"data transfer out", presumably, based on the context.
