It’s been one week since I setup my account with Linode, while I am an experienced hoster and had my own reseller hosting company 10 years ago. I have always found it hard to find a good host.
I went from Dedicated to VPS then to Shared then Cloud, Linode has given me the chance to move back to VPS (Using Linux is nice, compared to my day job as a Systems Administrator for mostly Windows Servers).
I have been with multiple VPS providers when I tested the water back then, my favourite is ServInt. However the prices are far too high, I tried MemSet as being in hosted in the UK was important for me. I did try the RackSpace cloud servers but found this wouldn't let you use it as a mail server, because of the IP nature and clouds.
I then went to shared hosting, found all the limitations as you do with these accounts and grunted it for 1 year, but I am back with Linode!
1 Week on and Linode seem to have kept my business (which is hard), the control panel does what it is supposed to do, easy to navigate. The support I have received is very fast and has been a pleasant experience.
The VPS itself has given me no problems, no downtime yet and yes this is early days.
The best thing about Linode is the community and the documentation area that helps setup almost every type of Linux server. Very useful as I been out the loop for a while.
The Good:
Good price, good control panel, good support, better yet hosted in the UK! (I would like to know if it’s in London or Slough though?)
The Bad:
None a week on, but I am sure something will pop up, it depends if "the what" is acceptable when it occurs
The Ugly:
No complaints at current.
I will keep this post updated. |
