Overall Satisfaction with Linode
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.
Pros
- excellent price/performance
- excellent customer support
- reliable
Cons
- not enough data centers compared to competition
- some data centers are old
- monitoring (Longview) cost money while others don't - free version isn't good
- lots of cost savings compared to AWS or other cloud providers
- very reliable and performant servers
- excited for the new cloud firewall being rolled out
I've tried all of Digital Ocean, AWS EC2 and AWS Lightsail - I found Linode to give the best price/performance for a VPS. However, compared to serverless functions like AWS Lambda, there's a lot of maintenance work if you want to keep your VPS up-to-date. If you're looking for low-cost and reliable VPS hosting, definitely pick Linode.
