Overall Satisfaction with Linode

I use a single Linode instance to host three different virtual hosts running decades-old operating systems (Multics and ITS). I also host multiple web sites a few static, one wordpress, one media wiki, and one trac. The site hosts time sharing systems as well as web sites for use by arbitrary people on the Internet. I am the current maintainer of releases for the Multics operating system, as well as an active developer on Multics and ITS.

Pros

  • Easy to set up VMs
  • Great technical support
  • Costs are very reasonable
  • Other managed services -- that I don't use, but appreciate having available

Cons

  • Should be able to support multiple EXTERNAL IP addresses per Linode
  • Should be able to provide cheaper backup solutions
  • I make no revenue from my use of Linode (just a cost!)
I've only used bare-bones "create a VM and run it" and not delved into any of the other functionality.
The few times I've used support, it has been helpful, responsive, polite, and resourceful.
If you want to get a virtual host on the Internet and completely customize it, having complete control over it, Linode is perfect. Their tech support is excellent and their user interface (control panel) is well-featured and easy-to-use.
