Email them and tell them to upgrade you. Most companies will do it, since they don't want to lose a customer like you who can overpay for 2 years w/o complaining.

eh, some are, some aren't. for $20/month, I give you a gig of ram. (I'm out of space until I get my new server in this evening, which tells me that my prices are low)

.. you're getting ripped off? Can you change vendors?

To clarify, the plan is 20/mo which include 360MB RAM. I'm just saying it's odd the plan hasn't gone done in price in 2 years.

It makes perfect sense if they are depreciating the hardware over more than two years.

the price hasn't gone down in two years, but the resources have more than tripled. . .

I think I signed up for 360MB two years ago at the same price. Have other resources increased? Bandwidth? CPU?

Don't get the wrong idea, I love the service, and the prices are still very competitive, it just seems strange in general that prices aren't falling faster. My own VPS experience is the only concrete example I have so that's why I mention it.

2 years ago $19.95 got you 100MB RAM, 4GB disk, 50GB transfer and a slower technology/CPU. Now you get 360/12/200 with Xen and SMP -- http://tinyurl.com/7jvrx4
