    Chose Akamai Cloud Computing
    I regard it the best of the bunch, Rackspace is reliable but too expensive, OVH is cheap but not that great infrastructure, Namecheap is fantastic, but i have not tested their hosting capabilities in depth, GoDaddy is, in my opinion, the worst of the worst, but they are well …

    I chose Linode because of its simpler and easy-to-understand pricing structure. Deployment of nodes seemed easier as well. Another thing I may add is that Linode just seems more professional. Linode gives you a lot more flexibility and control compared to GoDaddy. DigitalOce…

    I've tested many other hosting options... I have the feeling that Linode was superior in terms of technical profile, response time, and overall support.

    A great environment for a hybrid-cloud with all organization platforms hosted and managed in one place.

    Chose Akamai Cloud Computing
    For us, Linode is a level above the competition. We have tried other hosting providers and found their control panels confusing, customization options lacking, and price points far higher. The ease of use alone is a huge selling point. You can login and have a new server up and …

    Chose Akamai Cloud Computing
    AWS whilst perfectly fine would require a fairly radical rewrite of the code that exists all ready to fit in with the way AWS works, and we simply don't have the resources for that sort of rewrite and learning how to use AWS in general as it is very complicated. Linode by …

    The cost-benefit ratio, along with ease of use and unsurpassed technical support, make Linode our choice.

    Chose Akamai Cloud Computing
    Linode is by and far the most advanced. They also offer the best performance out of all, for seemingly the cheapest price.

    Chose Akamai Cloud Computing
    Linode stands tall for Ease of Use and Developer Friendliness. The plans and pricing slabs makes it tough to resist from competition. Also as we get what we are subscribed to, unlike providers like AWS stealing our CPU during high demands, we don’t face issues due to noisy …

    Digital Ocean has been significantly more reliable and much easier to work with. They are now my go-to for website and application hosting.

    Chose Akamai Cloud Computing
    We chose Linode on a recommendation from a friend and we could don't be happier. We were sitting on three options, one was we put hardware into a datacenter and leased space, Microsoft Azure, and Linode. Ultimately we settled on Linode, it came at a spectacular price point for …
