Yeah over the years they have had some major WTFs. Most recently one of their email clusters supporting thousands of customers went out for 9 days. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1588201

I'd take the article with a pinch of salt, they admit they haven't got anywhere near capacity yet, and it doesn't seem like they'd done any real load testing before "final layout". They could easily go the way of most low end VPS providers, day one benchmarks look great and then a few months later when the node fills out and people start using it performances sinks with no lower bound to be seen anywhere.

Add this one, their US-East-1 cloud zone has been down for 24 hours now. My instances are in limbo where no option to just move them to another zone.
