[Chicago] Thoughts on Virtual Hosting

[Jordan Bettis]

The only bad thing I ever heard about DO is apparently at the beginning 
they weren't zeroing the disk between customers and, when caught, were 
evasive and defensive. I don't have personal experience with them though 
and if that was their only "hiccup" it's pretty mild compared to all the 
things that have gone down at linode.
