Overall Satisfaction with Linode

We currently use it for our email and web servers as well as web software development.
  • Custom servers
  • Easy to install servers
  • Variety of OSs available
  • Cheaper to buy a cloud server than your own hardware.
I've only contacted them once and they were able to complete my request within a day.
About the same price as owning your own hardware but without the hassle. They keep hardware upgraded and operational for you.
Up time is important for everyone. In my 2 years with Linode, I've only experienced about 2 minutes of downtime.
For those who want to run their own server from choosing the OS to security to production.

Using Linode

It just works. Interface is intuitive. I like the freedom to run my server, my way, without restrictions.

It's easy to use if you are a server admin.
