Overall Satisfaction with Linode
Linode is cost effective cloud hosting solution for us. I use it to host my clients' WordPress sites and my sites as well.
- Good support.
- Totally safe to use. No data compromization.
- Cheap pricing.
- Easy and quick to set up and run a Linode.
- Live chat support of course.
- Ease of setting up mailing, etc. with SMTP.
- Better dashboard, more confident dashboard like DigitalOcean.
- I wanted to migrate from Bluehost multi hosting to Linode.
- One 4gb Linode handles 10-20 WP sites easily.
- That means good returns for us.
DigitalOcean has a bigger team but I think support wise I found Linode more trustworthy.
Cloudways have an edge over Linode as of the live chat support but same time the data is totally visible to their support team.
So Linode = Good support + Cheaper price + Data safety. That's why I chose Linode.
Like I said, a 4gb Linode is capable of handling 10-20 clients sites, I couple this with my wp services and offer my clients free hosting at $20 per month wp maintenance package.
I haven't discovered any down time yet, seems pretty reliable.
