Linode is our primary source of online infrastructure. We have run dozens of VPS machines over the years. We really like the incredible robustness and performance of the hardware, as well as the easy administration of the instances. When we need a quick, simple, and solid machine to run our web apps and services used by us and our clients, we chose Linode.

I use Linode to spool up Linux environments for training, testing & development, and for hosting customer websites. Right now, my business might be small in comparison to others like it, so saying that we use Linode in one department or throughout the entire organization is one and the same. Speed and reliability are the two most important factors for customers we cater to and Linode helps us solve both of these quite well.

We use Linode throughout our organization, and we continually implement it as a solution for our customers. We use Linode both for our development infrastructure and to provide services to our clients. Using Linode gives us peace of mind, knowing that we can grow without worrying about the cost of purchasing new hardware.

It's being used by the department of mine. We use Linode as the the infrastructure (IaaS) of IT systems which our department is using internally. As the main work of my department is software development related, we set up a few internal systems to manage software source code (git), automatically test code, track issues, manage employees KPI, and others.

Our company uses Linode every day for many of our products and personal projects. We originally used Linode as a separate development environment but liked the pricing and scalability so much that we are currently migrating our older infrastructure to Linode. Linode has been faster and more cost-effective than any of our other Server or VPS providers in the past while giving us lots of options.

My organization relies on Linode for access management, monitoring of other services, and for our organization-wide VPN. We require an extremely reliable service that is external from our network to provide accurate and real-time monitoring of all of our systems and also a centralized place for access management.

Used for both own company web sites and for meeting clients needs supporting web their presence. Very easy and quick to deploy with many out-of-the-box options for deploying operating systems and fully configured packages. Appears to be very secure and very reliable. Much simpler to use than bigger named competitors.

We use Linode across our organization to host our web applications that provide free recorded audio lectures. We wanted a platform that would give us the ability to completely manage our instances as we want them, that would not limit what technologies we use, and, most importantly, that did not oversell their hardware capacity. After trying several other providers that failed to meet our needs in various ways, we found Linode, and we have been happy customers for over a decade.

I use Linode to host multiple websites and microservices used by those websites. It's given me the flexibility to easily change how my software is architected as those websites continue to evolve and scale, going from a monolithic app LAMP stack, to one that's gone to a multi-server microservices based architecture. But, at the same time, I can still host multiple other basic websites as I see fit and stand up new ones with ease.

Linode runs for many years all of the infrastructure we need for our web pages and all our public Internet-facing applications. While over the year we used other providers in additions, none were better. It's nice to be able to provision VMs all over the globe, just like we can do with the usual cloud providers, and yet due to their scale, we still feel we get much better and much more personal support when needed.

I use Linode to run my own LAMP servers to serve my client's WordPress sites. I choose Linode because it is the perfect balance between cost, performance, and the features I'm looking for. Even after using them for several years now I feel no need to look for a new service as they continue to impress me year after year.

Our current use case is running a mail server for several of our domains. We've also used Linode to spin up test servers for various applications, to see if they are worth pursuing for our own internal use or as recommendations for current and future clients.

We have used Linode for our own, and our client's hosting of game servers, websites, and static content. Recently, we integrated with Forge for automated provisioning and the integration has worked well. Without Linode, we would be needing to use other providers that don't fit our preferred billing methodology and would lack the predictability that we and our clients need.

We use Linode as our main VPS provider. We run several apps in the cloud, and we host them at Linode's servers. We also hire their special "Fully Managed" service for special use cases, like deploying a more complex app or performing a big migration with little downtime. We also use Linode's VPS to deploy testing scenarios.

Linode is always our first choice for deployment for internal and product services as well as marketing websites, etc.

We use it to run several customer facing web applications as well as some internal tracking tools.

We also host our database instances on Linode hardware.
