Overall Satisfaction with Linode
I created a website for managing operations for a karate studio. I used Linode for hosting the web and database.
- When I started searching for a hosting provider to replace what I was using at Yahoo, I looked for someone who was inexpensive and offered web and database software. Linode was selected as it met these objectives.
- Since I started with Linode, the UI and services provided have become more beneficial. I have used DNS, backup and the scripting for provisioning new servers.
- As time went on, my need to provide the service to my client diminished and I wanted to maintain a small footprint, ideally with a low cost backup so I could easily spin up the resources if I needed them in the future. This wasn't as cheap or easy as I wanted.
The monthly cost was very manageable. I didn't have any revenue to offset it.
I get occasional maintenance notices and brief outages, both are common in this industry and I have no complaints.
