Two Years of Pinboard

I get the "too good to be true" vibe from their pricing. Too much RAM for too little money compared to everyone reputable...

Leaseweb offers similar pricing and is reputable. I had nothing but good things to say about DigitalOne until the FBI raid and their horrible handling of it.

It's 2011, high-RAM servers should be available for reasonable prices.

FWIW, I have all my important stuff at Linode, but I also have a server from Hetzner in Germany. It costs €49 per month (about $60 I think) and it's a Core i7 with 8GB RAM. Their network has proven rock solid and the hardware totally fine in the last 6 months and I only got it because I had so many personal recommendations. I don't know how they can do it but clearly it's at least possible to offer serious power at bargain basement prices.

What's the latency from the US?

Getting 114ms from it to a Linode in Atlanta, GA. 92ms to a machine in New York. 19ms to a machine in London. Which seems OK given the distance.
