Overall Satisfaction with Linode
I've been using Linode for about a decade, and use it for web hosting servers, database servers, and remote storage backup sites.
- Customer service.
- Reliability.
- Pricing.
- Upgrades are a tiny bit clunky, but still very doable.
- Inexpensive infrastructure.
- Reliable infrastructure.
I've used Digital Ocean, AWS, and a variety other hosts and services over the years. Linode has been a standout service for virtual servers. They're biggest differentiator is the customer support. I can get a knowledgeable response by email, or get somebody on the phone in a few rings and get the issue solved or acknowledged right away.
The same CANNOT be said about DO and AWS.

It's really just that Linode provides reliable, affordable, hosting servers and stand behind them with excellent support. That's enough. Too many cloud providers are trying to be too many things... this is all I need.
I've used Linode across 4 different organizations now. Some had critical uptime requirements with severe consequences for problems. In those situations the responsive customer support was absolutely invaluable in those rare occasions where we had issues. Being able to quickly get info and report back to our internal stakeholders helped tremendously.
In my current endeavor the stakes are much lower, but nonetheless I appreciate knowing that of the million things I need to worry about, hosting isn't high on the list.
