Linode

Pros

I'm using Linode for the last many years are DevOps and its reliability is awesome. Uptime, Scalability, Speed, and Pricing are very best as compare to their service, which is mind-blowing. I trust Linode and also refer to other companies, who are our clients. I have about 7 running server and all are on Linode. Overall they are the best in case of easiness of dashboard and maintenance.

Cons

Support, Once I face the issue and all of my hosts went down on the Singapore server and I was in the urgent demo so I call them on the India helpline but it's not working. They helo me by ticketing and also give me compensation. The ticketing system is good. All else is very well.

Reasons for Switching to Linode

Pros

Linode provides virtual private servers using SSDs that have excellent performance characteristics for the pricing, it's important that we get the best value for money, and Linode's VPS price performance ratio is far better than its competitors

Cons

Linode is not as well known as the other big guys in this space, so it can be a hard sell to convince an large conservative organization to take a bet on the little guy, given the prevailing "no one ever got fired choosing Microsoft" attitude of some people, so it would be better if Linode was more well known and on equal footing with the big guys

Reasons for Switching to Linode

Pros

There isn't much that impressed me with Linode apart from the fact that it supports cyber panel very well (VPS) and the virtual private servers are easy to install.

Cons

Things I don't like about Linode:-It's exorbitant in terms of pricing-poor client service ( they take anywhere from 1-2 business days to respond to an open ticket)-Poor or almost none reasonable pricing model.-WordPress hosting is slow-High speed servers are available in the dedcated hosting package which are very costful

Pros

Linode allows you to install a number of Linux distributions, so you can tailor that depending on what you want and are used to. Have been using Linode for several years have found it very reliable. They have also never raised the price in those years, it has remained constant. I like everything with it, Linode Manager and Longview are all excellent products to help you manage your servers.

Cons

Linux distributions for Linode are not hardened by default, so you will have to spend some time securing your deployments. There are mitigations for this though - Linode provides the ability to create scripts to create and configure your stack - so you may only have to do it once anyway.

Also at the moment, there is still no support for running FreeBSD on Linode as an official image.

Reasons for Switching to Linode

Pros

Linode is really so easy to use. I'm not a professional network engineer but I find my way quite easily in Linode. Everything is within the site, from setting a server, to creating and updating your stacks. It's not jumbled up like in AWS, Google Cloud, and Alibaba. Even as a newbie, with just watching Linode's youtube channel, you set up your services and learn as you go along. That's what I did, and it's going well.

One other thing is Linode's pricing! It is by far the most affordable yet very efficient and comprehensive cloud provider out there in comparison to Digital Ocean and AWS.

Cons

Linode needs to add more easily deployable apps in its marketplace to help even more of the less technical founders and learning developers get started.

Pros

Our businesses use case for servers is for websites and we could not be happier with Linode. We had hosted websites with shared hosting providers but for one reason or another, we always had issues. On the cheapest VPS Linode provides we have been able to have multiple low-traffic websites running without an incident.

Cons

The only caveat of VPS hosting at Linode I can think of is that you need to pay for backups separately and these backups only go back 14 days. You can initiate a manual backup which can be as old as you like, but if you want a more comprehensive backup solution you will need to set one up yourself.

Reasons for Switching to Linode

Pros

My favourites features are low prices, a clear politic of costs, and the ease to deploy a new server

Cons

I like all about this platform. It will be interesting for spanish users that they were certificated in ENS

Pros

I have tried out a lot of web hosting solutions and Linode is my #2 VPS recommendation for businesses looking for affordable and effective VPS hosting solutions.The company keeps track of the client's objectives and tries all in its capacities to meet them. Linode's hosting technology is quite advanced.It has a variety of server locations and the server installation process is also very easy as there are documentations to avail this.The support staff is very friendly and proactive. They care about their clients as well as their satisfaction. I have seen some competitors who only care about money.

Cons

The cost for hosting with Linode is medium-high as compared to digital ocean. Sincerely, this is the only dark side of it.

Pros

Easy to manage and configure all offered services. I try new manager DbaaS, and is very powerful. Certainly now with Akamai partnership, this product will have a boost.

Cons

a service such as the certificate manager of another well-known service would be interesting.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Native User Interface that is all inclusive.

Cons

Feels a bit outdated with the interface for millennial users.

Pros

Most all Virtual Cloud Server providers have a fast, reliable platform. Most let you start small and then upsize your sever as needed. Linode is the ONLY provider I've found that let's you also DOWNSIZE your server! That's huge since you're not stuck with a bigger server than you need in case you have to temporarily upsize. I also like the simplicity of Linode, compared to monstrosities like AWS or Azure. With Linode, you get in, get it done, and get out.

Cons

Linode offers additional block storage devices which is great, but unfortunately, it's not available yet in all of their data centers yet.

Cons

currently I have not encountered any negative aspects in my experience with linode

Pros

we use this service to host our sites, there is a developer who manages the service for us but as an end customer we can only be satisfied with the stability and performance of the service.

Cons

who have said since the beginning that it is a more developer-oriented service, but a more user friendly interface would not be bad.

Pros

Lo que más me gusta de Linode es que: además de la variedad de imágenes, puedes cargar tu imagen personalizada.

Cons

Lo que menos me gusta es la interface de panel de control. Aunque esto no es una desventaja significa, ya que los servidores son muy buenos.
