>VPS provider like DigitalOcean with "mission critical stuff"?
You do realise that in the past user VPSs were rooted, Bitcoins stolen and Linode users had to find out from Reddit that their VPS was potentially hacked.
If you trust Linode (or any VPS really) with mission critical stuff then you are (being) an idiot. I am sorry but you are.
Edit: The idiot is a reference to behaviour not anything personal.
1) I don't think your comments labelling those who disagree with you as "idiots" is constructive or in keeping with the spirit of HN.
2) "Mission critical" to one person may mean something else to someone else. Depending on their requirements, those who consider something to be "mission critical" may be willing to accept varying levels and/or guarantees of uptime or security.
And frankly I can't understand how a VPS provider can act in this way and still have people acting like they have great support. As a customer I found out from Reddit before Linode. That's a pretty disgraceful effort.
