I don't often do reviews but when I do they are usually quick and to the point.
I took up the Wable $8 offer when it first came about to try it out, dropped it then picked it back up when I had a use for it.
The offer (which is still current)
1-3 VPS (deploy 1 vps, or up to 3 using your resource bundle!) 3 CPU 2GB DDR-3 ECC RAM 50GB RAID SSD 2-10Gbps Port 6,000GB Bandwidth 9 IPv4 Addresses Dallas, New York City, Seattle (choose any or multiple locations when you deploy)
What I am doing with them
I have a simple setup of 1 VPS in each of the 3 locations.
NY - Laravel projects
Dallas - Ghost projects
Seattle - Backing up NY and Dallas
Performance
Never had any issues in any location, Observium has got a couple of restarts listed but I can't honestly remember if that was Wable or me. I don't run anything that tests the resource to its limit but ultimately it does what I expect it to do. in the past few months.
For the "Nothing matters but speed" junkies.

No actual issues, just questions and they were answered with replies that needed no further info.
The Panel
Their panel is still in development, but it's functional. Basic commands of create, destroy, re-allocate resource, restart, reload OS and set RDNS.
You can request additional IP's from the panel but I have never done it so I can't comment.
Backups, Snapshots, IPV6 and console access would be great. Console access at least is really a must. However I know I can open a ticket should I do something stupid and get someone to go in and do flush my iptables or whatever.
Would even be nice to see KVM as an option in the future but I am getting way ahead of myself there.
Overall
Bottom line is that it's Incero, if it had been someone else I probably would not have touched this service. I know how strict they are on every form of abuse which is a comfort when you don't really want to be sharing a server with the worlds assholes, thanks CC for taking up the slack there.
I would recommend the service without doubt, hopefully the panel enhancements will come along soon, at which point I would upgrade once I know the control I want is available without needing to rely on support.
At the moment for what they offer for a throw away amount of $8 per month I am more than happy to trust the service with some of my personal projects that matter to me enough to only put somewhere I trust.
/the end.
