What do you like best about Akamai Connected Cloud (formerly Linode)?

Linode provides consistent updates and upgrades to your VPS while maintaining the price point. Their service is completely top notch. Any issues will be dealt with promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akamai Connected Cloud (formerly Linode)?

The pricing used to be monthly instead of usage based, That is why i left, because I wanted to have the drop in costs by only running the server at limited times and being charged for that. Linode has since changed their policy, and does this. I would love to return, but I just haven't had time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do it. Really do it. Linode is a very good service, I can't speak highly enough for their service and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is right for a small machine - think hosting a personal website / having just a small instance in the cloud to muck around with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akamai Connected Cloud (formerly Linode)?

There have been a few bad experiences over the years with downtime - once, the time between Pingdom telling me my webserver isn't responding and Linode acknowledging a hardware issue was 40 minutes. Yuuuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relatively stable, my same instance has been up for years without much maintenance after I set it up. The admin interface is pretty nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Akamai Connected Cloud (formerly Linode)?

We switched to Linode after our host provider decided to discontinue the VPS business and gave us 45 days notice. So, for us, choosing Linode as our VPS host made perfect sense: (1) have been around over 10+ years, (2) Great support service, (3) Granular product offering, and price-wise, they are very reasonable.

We are a technology company, so we know one or two things about setting up Linux servers, but I have to admist, Linode support documentation was a great resource that I find myself going back to often.

Over the years, I have been in touch with Linode support personnel, and that happens when things are not going right. The support staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, polite and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akamai Connected Cloud (formerly Linode)?

Linode recent offer to upgrade (double memory) for small Linode VPS excluded us because we are using 32-bit kernel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Akamai Connected Cloud (formerly Linode) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting main website and an application web service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
