Akamai Cloud Computing

Formerly Linode

We use Linode’s virtual dedicated servers for hosting websites and web applications on behalf of our clients. We have also used Linode’s services in the past to provide hosting infrastructure for our own projects.

I use Linode to host my business website as well as custom websites for clients. I also host apps related to providing services to my customers, like network management controllers.

Linode makes some good arguments. The service and speed have consistently been good. Their willingness to hear me out and go the extra mile is much appreciated. Their business is top-notch since it is quick, cheap, user-friendly, and scalable. Our partners can trust Linode, thus I suggest them.

Being an IT security consultant nowadays has lots of preparation steps you need to take to convince your clients to invest in it. Linode made my work so easy by launching specific workloads within minutes and demoing an overall environment no matter how complex it is, with a fraction of an on-prem infrastructure costs. Moreover, customers by seeing the simplicity of Linode, often are asking about migrating services/workloads to the cloud, which adds value to my work. VM creation, specific workloads (websites, WordPress, nginx, etc.) enterprise workloads (like databases, etc.) within minutes, enterprise backups within seconds, and security as a service within clicks!! Thank you so much Linode/Akamai!!

We use Linode server to host small web applications and integrations scripts. The web apps are access by the staff and the integration syncs data between our services.

As a CRM consulting business, I need to be able to quickly spin up demo systems from archives; download whole instances of servers; work remotely and have reliable and responsive support for any issues at the Linode end.

Linode has provided us with a great range of cloud solutions to meet our changing needs.

Well done Linode!

We use Linode in multiple ways, from specialized development platforms to SSH and VPN hosts to NextCloud servers.

It is very easy to create a new VM with Linode, install a particular Linux Distribution, and then customize the environment to suit the specific needs of that application or developer.

Some of the machines that we have created as development machines have gone on to become test and production machines, or other machines have been created as almost duplicates of those development machines.

Linode has enabled us administer and analyze data in a very reliable manner. This tool has the capability to control all the networking systems in the whole organization ensuring that all operational applications collaborate effectively for the betterment of the company. It is also very cost effective and its functions and capabilities are easily customizable based on the load and requirements. Our organization uses Linode to ensure there is an effective cloud computing infrastructure and use it to host our websites. It has the ability to scale resources depending on the organizational need at the given time .

I’m use a lot of Linode services such us LKE, Load balancer, certificate manager and database as a service. My use case is a white label software which is served to many customers. The service is very reliable.

Linode has been the easiest server solution we've used: zero uptime issues, zero performance issues, and zero hassle setting up the environment. Linode had plenty of guides tailored to setting up their server for our use case, and we could get speedy support whenever we needed it, such as opening ports for mailing. Whenever maintenance occurs on Linode's behalf, it has always been done before we've even been able to notice and we've experienced next to no downtime related to regular maintenance. Linode was also priced extremely competitively and cheaper than our previous solution. Overall, I have absolutely no complaints with Linode as the person who is in charge of setting up and maintaining our infrastructure with them.

We currently use Linode servers in systems of critical level and high availability for our users and customers. We managed with Linode to have a high rate of performance in our services.

We have been using Linode public cloud for various security experiments at the University of Waterloo SWAG lab. First, we assessed the benchmark of the cloud instances and scanned for default security mechanisms available in the public instance of Linode for research study purposes. We went on using Linode for processing our Kafka Stream events separately to determine its capacity and usage across our SWAG lab.

We use Linode for our SME IT consulting gigs, where we customize, deploy, and manage self-hosted solutions such as Ghost and Wordpress for our clients. These gigs usually have relatively small budgets and low infrastructure complexity but still, need a high level of support and relative performance — requirements which we found Linode to be satisfactory in.

We use Linode to host custom software applications that we write, to host websites, and to store off-site backups.

I've been with Linode for more than 10 years now. There was a short period of time about 8 years ago when they were hit with DDOS attacks. Their clear communication during that time was what kept me with them while many started switching to other services, but they've proven to be reliable ever since and I have never found any reason to move away from them. Their Virtual Servers are still cheaper (and less complicated to set up) than the "Big" players like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. For the last few years, I've deployed all my Linode services using forge.laravel.com - I'm not aware of any server deployment solution that could be more seamless.

I have used Linode for eight years between my company and other clients. Their servers are top-notch, and I rarely have issues. If I remember correctly, I've had two unexpected downtimes in the past eight years due to a server node issue, but the servers were back up within 30 minutes. Other than that, I have never had any problems. Servers are always at top performance and run great. I have servers to host my website clients and build servers for other website designers using Linode. They're solid as they come.

We use Linode to provide e-learning platforms and services for our clients which are in the education, healthcare services, manufacturing, government and non-government institutions, the corporate, and many other organizations. Linode server is easy to deploy, it is highly secured, very cost-efficient, it helps our business grow through their incentives and discounts which other cloud providers don't offer, customer service is excellent they are friendly and responsive, and most of all servers are Linux-based, as we advocate Open Source Technology like Linux OS.

At Configr, we provide a PaaS solution that makes it easier for web professionals to migrate their websites from shared hosting to cloud hosting - and Linode supports all our website environments. Our customers do not have technical knowledge so they can count on us to make everything simpler and easier and with Linode to make his applications stable and fast.

The card that was being used on the account was actually stolen a bit ago. When we reported it to the bank and went through the fraudulent charges with the bank teller, I guess we may have accidentally disputed ONLY 2-monthly charges from Linode out of my last 3 YEARS with the company. Instead of reaching out they instantly disabled services and are making me supply documents that are totally unscary for my situation. Not only that, but they keep saying they email me but their own system says it is having issues emailing me to notify me of tickets. Secondly, when I do email them back by replying directly to the ticket email, it just bounces back more than half of the time. All this for $40 out of the hundreds almost thousands I have spent with the company.

Linode gives us cloud infrastructure services that contribute to innovative solutions to challenges we face as an organization. We have secured great cloud servers that store our data and any document in a safe system. Data administration and analysis is reliable with Linode. Data networking across our organization and cloud services that link to our company is stable.

We primarily use Linode for Linux servers for Web Applications. Customer-facing web portals allow customers self-service access to software downloads and to manage their licenses. Internal staff publish software installers, create a customer account, and issue licenses.

It is used across the entire organization to develop cloud computing infrastructure. It is easy and simple to deploy with Kubernetes clusters. It controls all the networking systems across the entire company to ensure that all operational applications correspond to each other effectively. The pricing of Linode is cheaper as compared to other cloud server management tools.

Linode is a multi-cloud management system that can be more reliable for data synchronization, data analytics, and the Linode access control tools are effective. Linode is also available on a very friendly pricing module and its functions are easy on customization on the initial stage of usage. The hardware capability and the Linode features a speed of performance are excellent.

Linode is used by all our departments to ensure that there is an effective cloud computing infrastructure. Our web designing team highly relies on this product to host most of our websites. It is reliable and the cost of hosting can be easily afforded by the most growing business enterprise. It has powerful security tools integrated into all systems that ensure our data is safe.
