Overall Satisfaction with 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.

Pros

  • Speed of turn-up. It's instantly on!
  • Fast support.
  • Highly competent support

Cons

  • I would like to see VPSs offered in eastern Europe and Asia.
  • I would like to see cheaper bulk storage options, similar to TransIP
  • Positive impact on being able to deploy quickly and economically.
I have used TransIP and IntoVPS. Linode scores well on most metrics except for the availability of servers in Europe and the availability of cheap bulk storage like TransIP.
I generally do not need support, but as a very experienced Linux programmer & administrator, I can tell good support when I see it. I've seen a LOT of places with horrible support, and Linode is not one of them. They have some very technically sharp people and I'm confident when I cut a ticket that their people will know how to handle it.

Did implementation of Akamai Cloud Computing go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Akamai Cloud Computing again?

Yes

For most situations, Linode is a great option. However, when I need to have a site in Eastern Europe or Asia, it's just not as good as other providers. Smaller VPS's tend to not be given higher bandwidth; it seems the cheaper your VPS at Linode, the less likely you are to get decent bandwidth. For computationally-intensive work, I might as well buy a local server.
