I've been a Linode customer since March 2005 ... so nearly a year now. I had a good deal on hosting previously, but decided to go the VPS route because I wanted more control over my hosting environment. I elected to start out with the Linode 64 plan, which has since been replaced by the Linode 80.

Fast forward eleven months ... I'm now operating my own business doing custom web development, and hosting a number of clients on my Linode. I'm able to offer Postgres, MySQL, PHP 4 and 5, email, and more. I've received two complimentary upgrades -- once in the RAM department, and once in the bandwidth department -- as Linode 'upgraded' their plan offerings. I've also upgraded my plan three times now ... most recently to a Linode 240 (as of about half an hour ago).

I couldn't be happier with my decision to use Linode. The staff is friendly, curteous, quick to respond, etc. ... there aren't enough words to describe the customer service I've gotten. Support requests are answered quickly ... even at some of the odd times that I work.

So ... for those of you that are considering Linode ... I can say without reservation to go for it! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

And ... for caker and mikegrb ... thanks for doing a great job!
