Overall Satisfaction with Linode

I have used Linode to host various web properties developed by my business.

Pros

  • Spinning up new server
  • Cloning servers
  • Informative articles and tutorials

Cons

  • Support is not easy to work with.
  • Slow to bring new features to market.
  • They had a major outage years ago that was poorly handled. That resulted in me moving most of my business elsewhere.
  • I am in the process of shutting down my last server.
Digital Ocean has been significantly more reliable and much easier to work with. They are now my go-to for website and application hosting.
It's nice to talk with a person. However, the tone has often been less than helpful. Things like adding a private IP address were a major hassle. Sometimes support was responsive and helpful. Other times not so much.
Someone who knows what they are doing would benefit from using Linode. There isn't a lot of direct support and the tutorials are helpful but assume a degree of proficiency.
