Overall Satisfaction with Linode
We use Linode to host several servers. It allows us to develop and host websites for our customers and make a profit.
- They make it extremely easy to setup and deploy server instances.
- Pricing is very competitive.
- They have many service/product offerings..
- I love how they are constantly adding more services/value.
- I wouldn't call this an improvement request as much as a want. I'd like to see Linode offer a reselling option.
- I feel like your larger server offerings (mainly large server hard drive space) are overpriced.
- I'd like to see better interface (built-in) for using object storage device.
- Saved me money for buying and keeping up with new servers.
- I am able to keep my servers lean and mean which makes for a better hosting experience for my customers.
Your interface is better than all of them. Ease of use is also better.
Great value. The up/down time is second to none. Customers like that sort of reliability.
Uptime is extremely important to my customers. Nothing like a server failure to get the phones to ringing. I have not had one major downtime report in the time that I have used Linode.
