Overall Satisfaction with Linode
We use Linode for hosting internal web services that power our business operations (file syncing, mail server, etc) as well as to host web properties for ourselves and clients.
- Value.
- Performance.
- User friendly management GUI.
- Robust CLI.
- Customer support.
- Network effect: not popular across the industry for service stacks.
- Keeps our costs low.
- Agile scaling horizontally or vertically.
Better performance and value than AWS or GCP.
Over the years, we've migrated hosts for better performance. From the Intel Xeons that powered the hosts at the beginning of our relationship to the AMD EPYC's that power us currently, we've benchmarked a doubling in performance. This alone has allowed us to run twice the workloads without increasing our costs.
Our business and our clients' businesses have had about 15 minutes of scheduled downtime in 7 years, so virtually no downtime.
