Rock solid performance and service from Linode
We have used Linode for hosting web servers, database servers, and Linux servers for the DEV and UAT applications. It provides a large array of services and options to customize the server usage based on the load and requirements.

Linode is Consistent, Flexible, and Reliable
We have used Linode for database and web server deployments on Linux servers. It is a fast, powerful, and consistent solution that has helped us to easily manage critical web applications and heavy user loads with ease. It is very easy to scale the resources by performing simple steps on the dashboard.

Linode Delivers What It Promises
I use Linode in deploying a cloud VPS with a pre-installed Azuracast application. Also, I've tried Linode for deploying Cyberpanel in a Linux VPS. As a freelance webmaster, I use the VPS for my personal project websites. Deploying a VPS at Linode is so easy and lightning fast. I can choose the location of the data center where your audience target is close to that data center location. Linode frees me from manually deploying a Linux Ubuntu variant. With its wide array of applications in the marketplace, I just have to choose how I use my VPS with the application that suits my need.

Linode: a simple VM hosting service where you get a great product for a reasonable price
We use Linode for hosting multiple projects that require simple virtual machine environments. In particular, it is useful for some of our smaller and/or more custom projects. Its affordability, plus straight forward setup process makes it appealing when compared to more expansive service offerings like Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services.
September 23, 2021
Linode VPS of the year!
This is one platform to manage and monitor all Linux servers across our organization. It makes a single pane of glass a reality and gives us peace of mind. I like that the VPS allows more flexibility than some of the big guys for the public cloud. We use this to solve scalable and easy to deploy workloads for our dev team.

You won't regret going to Linode!
Linode allows me to give dedicated VPSs to my customers to solve their web hosting, email, and other needs. I use it for hosting our own corporate email and I recommend it to others in my industry looking for economical VPSs.
September 15, 2021
Affordable reliable and performant VPSs
I used Linode dedicated CPU VPSs to back test and run algorithmic trading strategies.

For my home use, Linode is the best value.
[Linode is used] to run remote services for household users.

Linode gives great reliability combined with great value
Linode has been a trusted provider of cloud based infrastructure to our company for over 10 years. We have seen Linode grow from a small reliable cloud provider into a full featured platform with the same reliability and support. We no longer need to worry about hosting our software in house because Linode is a more cost effective platform.
September 14, 2021
Reliable server options at great prices
We have three primary Linode servers: one to host our main webpage and front facing user tools, another to provide backend support for our online tools, and a third for development and testing. Since the nodes are so flexible to setup and configure, we can easily add new servers, or modify existing ones, to meet our changing needs.

Linode Rocks!
We use Linode to host several servers. It allows us to develop and host websites for our customers and make a profit.
September 13, 2021
Linode has been the winner for over a decade
Linode handles our hosting for a variety of applications, including incubating web applications to be marketed and intranet utilities. In a pinch, it sometimes also serves as a temporary remote desktop for contractors.

Linode: The best surprise is no surprise! It's reliable and predictable with great performance.
Linode is currently being used as the primary development platform relating to client websites and WordPress plugin development. By leveraging its flexibility to conveniently spin up new server environments, it serves as the perfect platform to fine tune various client configurations in isolation. Linode is also recommended as one of the potential web hosting providers for clients that have outgrown the limits of shared hosting and are in need of dedicated resources and consistent stability.
Linode is used by our entire organization to host all our apps in the cloud. We have a variety of apps including VPN, apache servers, MySQL databases, NodeJS applications, smtp server, load balancer, and static websites hosted on linode across different geographical locations including Toronto, New Jersey and Sydney. We have tried different services like AWS and digital ocean but we found Linode to be reliable and has great customer support.
Linode has been used to entirely replace our hardware in house, we now use Linode exclusively for all of our hosting needs.

Vetted Review
Verified User
I mostly use Linode for test and development purposes although I also have my both my business and personal web/email server running on a Linode.
More recently, for personal/hobby use, I have been using their Nvidia RTX 6000 GPU VMs to render my Blender 3D creations in as it is a huge cost saving over using a cloud render farm and I can use whatever version of Blender I want rather than the old LTS version.

As our main product is an education platform, we need to host the website. The site being a heavyweight application, I can't use typical hosting. So we buy VPS from Linode. Linode is one of the best in the market according to our need because our platform is non-profit, so we can't afford big servers all month long. Linode gives us the flexibility to resize servers when the load increases. Our site is built with PHP and we have built a deployment cycle in our Linode, so the development process has been so [much] easier.

A good place to feel like you're in good hands
We use Linode to host some of our infrastructure. We also used Linode to host services for our clients, as we are a web development agency. Regarding our direct experience, we host 4 servers and other internal services for more than 1 year. We have 2 other clients hosting their infrastructure in Linode, mostly using cloud servers.

Thinking about cloud, Go for Linode.
Being a system engineer, I have [a lot of] experience with Linode. I'm working on several hosts [at] different locations. Linode services are very powerful and [user-friendly]. [In] my experience I have seen it [as an] excellent choice [for] developers and software engineers because of [its] highly appreciable services. We always recommend Linode to our customers.

6 years later and [still using] Linode
Back when we first started to use Linode, the very first impression I got was the cut on the hosting costs. The fact that we came to the understanding that we can host quite a lot of virtualized hosts on a single server, saved us a lot of hassle and money, so we slowly started to migrate to Linode, starting with 1 server, ending up with up to having more than 10 at some point.

Linode for nonprofits
We use Linode as an organization to deploy our web content. This includes a website, G Suite applications, and internally managed applications that support teachers and students in our organization. Our website is our main content managed through Linode, but the advantage to a flexible VPS like Linode is the ability to easily add and adjust content whenever it is convenient.
Linode provides the virtual private server (VPS) for our websites and other online servers.

Fast, simple, reliable.
Reliable Virtual Private Server (VPS) solution.

Linode: a partnership since the first day
We use three Linodes, one for us to test our systems and make demos to our clients. The second Linode is for one of our clients, they are in Saudi Arabia and the last one is for a governmental organization which is a client too. All these Linodes are used as PaaS (Platform as a Service).
