I use my Linodes for data analysis subscription software, selling to SMBs. http://www.carpdata.com

Atm, I use it mainly for irssi proxy+ screen, but once I get the mail stuff set up, I will be moving my site over from another hosting company, and host a few other sites for a friend. I've got apache, php, mysql running, once mail is up, it'll be ready.

Hi,

I run Slackware 12.0 on my Linode 360 and I use it for:

- DNS (master and slave zones)
- Mail server (anti-spam/anti-virus also running)
- Mailing list server
- Private web server (a couple of sites)
- Proxy (to punch through some draconian firewalls)
- Testing site for international connectivity from South Africa
- NTP server in emergencies or to cross-check local ones
- General testing (ping, traceroute, telnet, etc)

I also compile the odd kernel on my Linode, but only if it's a fairly static kernel with few modules.

--deckert

hosting http://ryanpartington.com where the user comes first, second and third

mostly for killer sites that I design!

Slack 12.0 for mail, authoritative DNS, web hosting for a dozen or so domains, and a wiki.

LAMP hosting solution for web applications and sites I build for my clients.

Also runs as a backup MX for when my ADSL is down. (I am resting my foot against my primary MX )

Sometimes fire up Squid so that I can proxy out from the USA when a) I think I'm having routing problems and b) to see how things look different when GeoURL is in use. Also allows me to bypass my ISPs wretched transparent proxy which has a habit of doing some really weird caching sometimes.

Second Linode is redundant LAMP server for when the Big One hits Fremont

As this server is pretty well in sync with the primary, I use it for pre-deployment testing of new code for client apps. (On the grounds that the client can play with it here - they can't if it's just running on my laptop.)

Tertiary MX.

Also runs a couple of Mailman lists for a client.

Both Linodes run Gentoo, but with LAMP components all hand-crafted rather than standard ebuilds.

Uhh. . . Linode.com runs on a Linode 1440

-IMAP/POP + SMTP hosting
-SFTP access for small web hosting via apache (just personal file hosting or whatever...no ACTUAL sites)
-shell account/access and occasional socks proxy for school firewall
-IRCd
-other small things maybe...


So...I love linode the service and control is amazing support is good as well. I couldn't be happier. Except...maybe if I had an active use for it. It seems I am using my linode 360 for a decent amount of useful tools but I am not even hosting something as little as a blog or SMALL website. My primary email address is hosted on google apps anyway so this this only serves my secondary emails that I don't use as often at all.

It kinda sucks because I love my VPS and everything but I just wish I had a much more active use for it that I could feel good about. Do any of you have any easy suggestions? Please keep in mind that I suck at web design and basically all types of coding and programming

Mostly failover for my other VPS. Unison and MySQL replication on Arch Linux.

Secondary e-mail server, Ventrilo server, dev box.

Linode 1 hosts a couple of small websites and is a primary mail server for a few domains

Linode 2 is where I backup the data from Linode 1
