Overall Satisfaction with Linode
We host all of our software products on Linode servers. Out business creates custom software hosted on a cloud platform.
- Self Directed Management
- Uptime and reliability
- Customer Service
- More Data centres in our region (Canada - only has one)
- Next to no effort is spent by our staff in maintaining systems.
- Expansion/Scaling of existing systems is also far easier and quicker using Linode
I've used local hosting solutions (company not listed above) as well has maintained our own hardware in the past. Linode far surpasses these solutions in every respect - cost, maintenance, uptime.
We probably spend about 1 hour total monthly directly maintaining our Linode stack of anywhere between 10-20 servers. Given that we charge our clients set monthly rates for hosting as a part of our service directly, we can be flexible to client needs without baring direct costs or needing to adjust our own pricing. This is a tremendous advantage in managing client needs day to day in our industry.
It is one of the most important factors of using a third party solution.
As a small vendor, there is simply no way we can offer the expected uptimes without a more robust partner, let alone manage backups, DDOS events, or maintenance downtime/power outages etc. at our volumes without a significant increase to our costs. Linode allows us to offer a level of service far out of proportion to our company size.
