Overall Satisfaction with Linode

We use Linode throughout the organization to realize our ideas on blockchain ideas, from setting up staging environments, serving websites as decentralized apps (dapps), to making a worker cluster to organize data before distributing to our customers. As a blockchain startup, we often compete with high availability and low latency facing partners all over the world.
  • Simple setup yet professional
  • Transparent pricing
  • Many regions are available
  • Inflexibility to customize hw specs
  • Too few tiers on LongView to choose from
  • Lack of exclusive services integration
  • High availability
  • Lower cost to provide the same level of service
  • Less friction on collaboration
Linode often offers the most competitive pricing on regular usage.
I seldom use customer services. But it is a must if I should recommend a service.
Described in previous sections. It would be more favorable if we can configure granular aspects over specs.
Almost no downtime if some hardware upgrading (which happens roughly once per year I recall) is not considered.
When the requirements are clear, using Linode is both economical and well-scalable comparing with other VPS providers. Flat pricing also means you can care less about expenses and focus more on what you plan to build. Generally, I recommend evaluating it first. But its simplicity often sacrifices fine-tuning, which should be kept in mind when experimenting.
