I'll be around all day to answer questions, or better yet - merge things into the repo to run, execute more tests, etc. I have to hand it to plot.ly - they definitely make charting... addictive.

How long will existing customers be able to get the previous low end VPS (+-16/month)?

Are they grandfathered at that pricing? And for how long?

Can new customers even get that low end server today?

The blog post says "eventually" but some others have pointed out that the pricing is missing today.

Existing and new customers will continue to have access to the Standard flavor class Cloud Servers - the price will continue at the current prices you pay today for the Standard class. At a point in the future we will stop offering the Standard flavor class for new accounts, but have not finalized on a date for that yet.

Today, the Performance flavors are available in IAD only (additional regions coming soon). The Standard flavors continue to be available in all regions (IAD, ORD, DFW, SYD, HKG)

Can you remind your front-end team that next gen pricing is now completely unavailable?

Can you show me where? Because I don't actually have it present in mine whatsoever (mycloud.rackspace.com) ==> http://i.imgur.com/AKHie5y.png

Alright, correction - you can see the pricing if you go into the control panel -> select region -> select OS (pricing changes based on linux vs. Windows) -> select flavor.

You have to select an image first since pricing varies by image. We will work on making this more intuitive.

Aha! Thanks guys! Yeah something like Price: <please select a distro first> would have solved it for me.

Select Region, OS, Flavor and then it pops up!
