Dont they have backup generators? I thought all datacentres did, although I have known them to fail too...
We used to be colocated at HE in Fremont. Real nice building. They have a track record of power outages going back several years.
Fremont keeps going out, this annoys me. I routinely have problems w/ Linode at this data center. :(
If you already had downtime at this datacenter, transfer your linode to another one. It will only take ~20 mins.

My linode is in Newark and it has been a long time since I had the last problem there. Also, Linode is based on Newark.

I've been on linode for quite a while and never had issues with Newark.
I didn't know you could transfer datacenters. I'd like to do that.
Linode's datacenter in London has "100% uptime" for me.

Just a few times I had to reboot the Linode because of some weird I/O locking.

I recommend London as well. It has been rock-solid for me.
I too recommend London, especially if you're in Europe ;).
Ditto. This is getting really annoying. Are there any other Linode DCs on this coast?
Interesting. Does the Fremont facility have inadequate backup generation/UPS?
