Chose Linode
There are a lot of very good cloud operations. Linode, for us represents a good offering. It offers a simple way to control infrastructure, without being overly simplified. For us, it was a good median giving us the flexibility to explore, experiment and still build for scale. …
AWS is more expensive and less predictable. I get the feeling AWS might scale better for huge sites but cannot say for certain. DigitalOcean Droplets seems to be on a par with Linode, and cost-wise they are very similar. I've tried using Thema few times but always come …
I did not try or look into any other providers. Because of a client I knew about Linode and got familiar with their services, dashboard and support. I got a good impression and it was a no-brainer to use Linode for my own VPS needs.
I moved to Linode for the pricing, but quality of service is pretty good. Heroku is great for novice programmers with no DevOps experience, but you pay an extra cost for it. DigitalOcean has much better docs and tutorials than Linode (BTW, these material apply for Linode as …
Linode's price for performance is unmatched. The scalability and customizability of their offerings is likewise superlative. Uptime is great and they have servers in all of the places we need them. Security is on par with the rest. Their web interface is useful. Their …
Linode stands tall for Ease of Use and Developer Friendliness. The plans and pricing slabs makes it tough to resist from competition. Also as we get what we are subscribed to, unlike providers like AWS stealing our CPU during high demands, we don’t face issues due to noisy …
Linode ultimately has better value for money. Not as many features/services as AWS but they do cloud computing very well. Managed databases are something we’d like to see and it’s on Linode’s roadmap. AWS nickels and dimes you for everything. We’ve also considered UpCloud, …
We chose Linode on a recommendation from a friend and we could don't be happier. We were sitting on three options, one was we put hardware into a datacenter and leased space, Microsoft Azure, and Linode. Ultimately we settled on Linode, it came at a spectacular price point for …
We built some applications on Google App Engine, and in comparison to Linode, you are more locked in and there is a steeper learning curve, as you have to adapt to Google's tools. In Linode, you can use whatever you are used to. With AWS, you are able to make whatever setup you …
Amazon Web Services is vast and expansive, but far too expensive for what we need it to do. Azure is a more plug-in hosted solution, but again the price isn't worth it. I can use dokku to ape the functionality of heroku for far less than the latter charges. Digital Ocean's …
I've always use Linode because they had the best offering and flexibility for the lowest price. I've looked at others, but none gave me a good reason to switch. Linode offers everything I need and it keeps improving. So while others are out there, Linode seems to me the best …
Linode distinguishes itself with a sleek and intuitive interface that sets it apart from other providers. Its Dashboard UI is notably superior, particularly for tasks like monitoring and managing Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and Domain Name Servers (DNS). With a user-friendly …
Linode is cheaper, but also far less complicated. Cost calculation is straightforward, unlike Azure, so it is simple to create projections for how much a solution will cost to deploy. Even though I get free Azure credits through my partner agreement with Microsoft, I selected …
I've used a few other platforms, DigitalOcean is probably the closest, but Linode always had better backend tools aimed at geeks whereas DigitalOcean just focuses too much on blank whitespace on their control panel, while offering less functionality.
Linode offers a fairly specialized subset of cloud services, which makes the dashboard interface a million times easier to use than both GCP and AWS. In addition, their VPS offerings give you a broader range of control with (thankfully) fewer options. This makes it easier to …
We migrated away from EC2 and S3 and onto Linode's instances and block storage. The reliability and speed is comparable, but Linode's price is cheaper and their customer service is far faster and better. I also prefer Linode's dashboard - particularly their DNS management, …
I first heard about Linode from ads in every episode of Marco Arment's podcasts Under the Radar and Accidental Tech Podcast. They also offered discount codes that amounted to extended free trials. Marco's endorsement, combined with the generous introductory free period and the …
Setup and management of Linode services were just simpler than similar services from Rackspace or Amazon Web Services, both of which are cumbersome and confusing to the point of frustration.
In the past we have used Amazon’s AWS and Elastic Beanstalk with EC2 instances as a web hosting platform. We found Linode to be simpler and more straightforward to set up. Linode’s costs were also more predictable, making it easier to budget and resell to our clients.
Most of my knowledge of competing products is secondhand. Linode has never given me much reason to look elsewhere—they’ve been so competitive on price and performance. The main competitor has been on-premises or collocated servers, but those are obviously completely different …
