Overall Satisfaction with Linode
We use Linode to host some of our infrastructure. We also used Linode to host services for our clients, as we are a web development agency. Regarding our direct experience, we host 4 servers and other internal services for more than 1 year. We have 2 other clients hosting their infrastructure in Linode, mostly using cloud servers.
- Control panel is simple and easy to use
- They provide a good range of hosting services and options
- Response time is good in their support channels
- Initial configuration for email ports in servers is hard to manage, you need to open a ticket to handle it correctly
- Missing on-demand databases
- Missing on-demand datastores, like redis or memcache
- Stackscripts looks cool, but I'd like a curated list to trust
- Reduced costs
- Peace of mind, as their support is good
I've tested many other hosting options... I have the feeling that Linode was superior in terms of technical profile, response time, and overall support.
Evaluating Linode and Competitors
Yes - Rackspace, mainly because of the price, switching to Linode cut the price by half and we're happy with the support we get.

All times I've used Linode I feel I'm paying for good service, quick turnaround when issues found and solid infrastructure.
