个人生活记录
写了这个标题我先泼下冷水，免得过于激动。根据Linode十三周年博文介绍，目前的双倍内存升级仅KVM套餐，老的XEN架构的先升级到KVM；因为日本节点没有资源，所以升级并不包含日本节点，但是Linode已经正在上新的日本节点设施，估计在今年年底前将可以大量提供。
先复制博文原文：
第一段列出了Linode的成就和现状，包括他们超过了100名员工。
None of this would have been possible without the dedication and engagement of our employees, who care a great deal about you, our customer, and about the work we do. We’ve attracted some of the most passionate, brilliant, and handsome people I’ve ever met (BTW, we’re hiring). So, a big thanks to everyone here at Linode.
一些煽情和感谢的话语，下一段步入正题：免费升级内存
We also want to thank you for your business and support all these years. As a token of our gratitude, we’re announcing free RAM upgrades for both new and existing customers. Here’s the breakdown:
Old Plan(老套餐) New Plan(新套餐) Price(价格)
Linode 1 GB->Linode 2 GB $10/mo ($0.015/hr)
Linode 2 GB->Linode 4 GB $20/mo ($0.03/hr)
Linode 4 GB->Linode 8 GB $40/mo ($0.06/hr)
Linode 8 GB->Linode 12 GB $80/mo ($0.12/hr)

The free upgrade is available immediately. At the top of your Linode’s dashboard you will see the upgrade banner. It should be just the press of a button and a reboot for many of you, however sometimes a migration will be required – which typically just takes a few minutes.
This upgrade is available only for KVM Linodes. Legacy Xen Linodes will have to first upgrade to KVM before being able to take advantage of the RAM upgrade. You can upgrade your Xen Linodes to KVM using the “Upgrade to KVM” link on the lower-right side of your Linode’s dashboard.
Unfortunately, since Tokyo is sold out, the upgrade is not available there. We hope to have our second Tokyo facility online before the end of the year.
In addition to the new facility, our teams are working hard on the new API (inpublic alpha), the new open source Linode Manager, and the significant improvements to our networking infrastructure including transit, peering, and bandwidth upgrades. We’re also very excited about our future office in Philadelphia – a beautiful neoclassical 110-year-old former bank building right at the heart of N3RD Street. Renovations are underway and we hope to be working out of there in the spring.
We continue to build upon the foundations of a company that is big enough to handle its customers’ needs but small enough to care. We hope we’re accomplishing that. You have our eternal gratitude for your business. Stay tuned for more!

Linode是一家非常不错的公司，目前提供基于KVM架构的VPS主机，可选包括日本、新加坡、美国弗里蒙特、达拉斯等8个数据中心机房，自己开发的产品管理面板非常给力，客服响应快，主机比较稳定，支持按照小时计费等等，不过他们并不支持PayPal支付，只能信用卡，也挡了很多折腾用户。升级后的Linode套餐更具性价比，最低10刀/月2GB内存起步。
