Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Akamai Cloud Computing The thing that caught my eye was the price to start with. I move to Digital Ocean because they had better options for virtual network isolation, but I came back as soon as Linode fixed the issue. There support is great and things just work.

Incentivized Helpful? Dakota Miles Software Developer in Information Technology at FreeSpvce (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Akamai Cloud Computing We switched to Linode from Namecheap due to poor uptime, and never had any issues with stability ever again after switching.

Verified User Chose Akamai Cloud Computing I could not talk to anyone at all with digital ocean. I still cant turn off their billing. I hate those guys. They are good for techies - terrible for small co. owner like me that does not have techie staff on hand every day Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Akamai Cloud Computing We evaluated DigitalOcean vs. Elastic Beanstalk before Linode, which was pretty cost intensive for deploying basic machines in the cloud for experimentation purposes.

On the flip side, … Incentivized Helpful? 👨🏼‍💻 Roy Verrips Director in Information Technology at Cential (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Akamai Cloud Computing Linode's offering is almost identical to DigitalOcean's, but I find Linode's customer service better AWS, Azure and Google Cloud provide all services Linode does, but provides a much large set of other features and customizations. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Akamai Cloud Computing I personally feel that Linode platform is more stable and faster than other platforms. While other are great Linode has never let me down. I've hosted with other providers for clients because that's who they were using and they definitely go down more than Linode has.
