That was my first question. I have a couple Linodes, one of which is in 
the Tokyo datacenter. From a quick look at the forever.net page, the 
significant differences are that forever.net is about 1/3 the price of 
Linode, and that it uses KVM instead of Xen. I don't know about AWS as 
i've not used that service.

I prefer Xen virtualization over KVM since it allows me to control 
*everything*, including my kernel, but many people won't care about 
that. So just from looking at the web page i'd say the forever.net 
service is promising. I'm not quite the target market and am happy with 
my Linode, but for people who are slightly less picky it looks to have 
potential.
