We need more things like OpenStack out there -- competently designed and implemented toolstacks that actually work correctly and have a remotely acceptable security model.
It was ridiculously fast for a vm (>700MB/s with vpsbench, all tests), but the $5/mo Digital Ocean instances were fast enough with PostgreSQL/Sphinx that none of my (free) users were complaining. I like Digital Ocean, I'm keeping some stuff over there, but I appreciate Ramnode's transparency & dedication during this. It doesn't hurt that they're probably going to be constructively paranoid now that they've gotten burned. This is one of those things my partner saw all the time running a restaurant - screwups are unavoidable, but handling them well can actually get you a loyal customer.
