The Vpsdime trial is over, it has been uneventful, the performance were in the middle of the pack with a 85ms average response time. The 5% slowest queries (P95) were served in 200ms.
It was slightly faster than the $10 DO plan but much slower than the $10 Linode plan.
Our only concerns were:
Overall at $7, it's the cheapest plan with 1GB we've seen and it's very good value, we recommend it if you're on a budget.
