Anyone have any experience +/- with Linode (http://www.linode.com/) ?
I own two Linodes now, and have been with Linode for 4 years now.
If what you really need is a VPS and not shared hosting or a dedicated
server, and you don't do a lot of monthly transfer, Linode definitely
beats all other VPS providers in my opinion. Network traffic is
probably the biggest drawback to Linode since they don't provide as
much as other providers do when comparing price. All other aspects
make up for that though.
The support is incredibly fast and experienced. Other than the VPS
itself, they provide an extremely powerful control panel with network,
CPU, and disk I/O graphs. They also provide primary and secondary DNS
service (so you don't have to worry about running Bind9 on your VPS or
finding a secondary in another datacenter) with an API if you happen
to manage a lot more than just a few domains. The terms of service
pretty much outlines the basic premise that if what you're doing on
your VPS is legal, they don't have a problem with it (even if you want
to run an IRC server).
They've recently been adding features that come in handy for customers
with multiple Linodes including IP failover and unmetered traffic
between two linodes (in the same datacenter) over a private gigabit
network. So clustering Linodes is also possible if you need a load
balancing setup or otherwise.
Which linux OS's do they support ? (that are on their control panel)
