Overall Satisfaction with Linode

We use Linode for our cloud hosting. We need a fast, high availability and performance based cloud hosting solution to support our agency business. Linode is the infrastructure provider that we have tested and happy with their services so far as it meets our need for a reliable cloud hosting solutions. We also like there are many options available for us to deploy our solutions and services. We mainly use API and their UI manager. Our experience has been the best compared with other cloud infrastructure providers.
  • Transparency of their uptime and high availability of their cloud server.
  • Easy to use API to deploy solutions and services.
  • Clean and simple Cloud Manager UI interface to navigate.
  • Ability to select the data center regions visually.
  • Hard to know which version of the app can be deployed in the marketplace.
  • Not able to use chat widgets in the UI cloud manager as it keeps loading intermittently.
  • No update to the Community stackscripts which has been outdated.
  • Quicker time to deploy using API.
  • Increase productivity to use those per-configured one-click app marketplace.
  • Increase customer satisfaction for fast cloud servers and high uptime.
We tested a few infrastructure providers like DigitalOcean, Vultr and AWS.
  1. Digital Ocean servers is slow compared to Linode.
  2. Vultr high frequency server is fast but we prefer Linode as it is more reliable in terms of uptime.

Overall, we see more value from Linode and they are one of the most trusted cloud infrastructure provider.
