Linode, and why they are awesome

Since late June, I’ve been using a Linode 360 VPS to host my services, site, a rawr-irc leaf and the gmod engineers forum. Except for one instance recently and mistakes on my behalf, I have had no downtime with them. Setting up a VPS with them was instant, I was already accessing the server via SSH in under 10 minutes. Their control panel is completely custom, and very useful.

The control panel features graphs for CPU, network, and disk IO usage. I wish I could make these public and put them on my site. Another thing Linode offers is a full API for it’s service. I have yet to see something else like this in another VPS provider. Their staff and community are friendly and very helpful, I’ve gotten help from the owner of linode before.

Overall I highly recommend Linode to anyone who is looking for a VPS provider. If you don’t mind use my refferal link, http://www.linode.com/?r=3b651a1dfeada9ef689812fb306e64f19c172ad9
