There's two reasons: 1) Ease 2) Tech

Our ease is worth it. If you save 1 hour of work, you've made your money back — and probably have even more. And honestly; not everyone has the skills to build stuff on Linode. Quite often they want to focus on just working on the client's website.

Our tech is very impressive. We've got a great development team working hard on building a very robust system. Using us you'd find that.

I can understand what you're saying though. But I can guarantee we're a different experience and result than plain old AWS or a blank Linode box.

Appreciate the response. Certainly going to give it a go. I tweeted, but could you point me in the direction of your definition of a request?

[zachinglis]

Our request model is http requests. I'll try and make that clearer on the homepage.

Under pricing, it says '10 million visitors' in the copy. There's quite a difference between 10 million requests and 10 million visitors.

Thanks for that spot. We had our metrics labelled as visitors but felt it was too confusing. It's definitely requests. Will change it :)
