I signed up for Joyent yesterday, and was quite impressed with the performance. It's probably on par with Linode.

The price is reasonable: $21/month for a 512 MB instance, and free 20,000 GB bandwidth!

In addition, they offer freaking 2-factor authentication! That says a lot when the only ones I know of offering such are AWS and SoftLayer.

You created an account to post this on a thread about a competitor to Joyent? Funny.

Why? Is it not appropriate? I assumed I could offer hosting alternatives since my post's parent author was asking for "thoughts".

I don't work for Joyent, and I just signed up for them 2 days ago. Apologies if my post seemed like blatant advertising.
