Overall Satisfaction with Linode
I've been with Linode for more than 10 years now. There was a short period of time about 8 years ago when they were hit with DDOS attacks. Their clear communication during that time was what kept me with them while many started switching to other services, but they've proven to be reliable ever since and I have never found any reason to move away from them. Their Virtual Servers are still cheaper (and less complicated to set up) than the "Big" players like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. For the last few years, I've deployed all my Linode services using forge.laravel.com - I'm not aware of any server deployment solution that could be more seamless.
- Great Customer Support
- Clear communication during major events
- Slower to introduce "new" solutions such as S3 storage, Kubernetes, cloud functions, etc.
- Ease of use and speed of deployment is greatest benefit
- DigitalOcean, Amazon Web Services, Azure Virtual Machines and Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Linode's offering is almost identical to DigitalOcean's, but I find Linode's customer service better AWS, Azure and Google Cloud provide all services Linode does, but provides a much large set of other features and customizations.
Partnered with forge.laravel.com Linode provides effortless deployment of servers reducing the cost of configuration, management, etc.
Uptime for web bases solutions is critical - Linode's uptime is amazing!
