Linode Expert Review 2021
Written by: Michael Lavnduski
Expert Overview
Good Hosting for Coders and Developers
Linode is focused on providing good quality hosting to web developers, app developers and other tech professionals in this industry. They only offer cloud hosting, but that is the ideal solution for this type of market. They can host websites of any type as well as app hosting and things of that nature.
They have good quality hardware as well as great support when you need it, which is nice. For most of their customers, the biggest perk is that the hosting company understands their needs as developers.
Uptime & Reliabilty
Very Reliable Hosting
The hardware and data center are set up to ensure their customers are getting the most uptime possible. They do have an uptime guarantee of 99.9% but from what I have been able to find, they are much more reliable than that. You'll likely never notice any downtime for your site or app hosting needs.
Features
Good Quality Features
This company has nice features including solid state drives, a super fast 40 GBPS network and much more. They seem to make all their decisions based on what will help their specific client base the most. You'll also get free data backup, which is very nice, and a number of APIs, StackScripts and more to help make the job of a developer easier.
Support
Very good support teams
This company will provide you with all the support you need to keep your site up and running smoothly at all times. You'll have quick answers to questions when you have them, and if your site or hosting does run into trouble, they can help get it fixed right away. The fact that they know all about developers helps make this process even better.
Pricing
Pay as you Need it
Unlike most hosting companies, you will have the option to just pay as you need it. This is a common option for hosting companies that are focused on developers because most developers don't need the traditional 'always used' solution. The prices start at $.015 per hour, or $10 per month. They go up to $.12 per hour, or $80 per month. In each case, you get a good amount of hardware and a nice service.
Summary
Excellent Hosting for Developers
This company makes it easy for you to decide if they are right for you or not. If you're a developer, you should consider them carefully. If you are just looking for traditional hosting, this is not the company for you.
Pros:
- Very niche focused
- Good prices
- Very high quality hardware
Cons:
- Not right for non-developers
- Only offering cloud hosting
