Strangely this whole thread convinced me to try Linode. Why? everyone keeps saying it's so cheap and I do A LOT of web crawling so I don't need 99.999% uptime

- blisterpeanuts 11y agoI use it for basic stuff, mainly for testing node apps, no high throughput. It's got a nice, simple management console. I don't like the fact that apt-get operations to set up your VM can blow your monthly quota pretty fast if you're not careful, but other than that, it's been fine. Periodically, they double everyone's bandwidth and storage for free; it's something to look forward to in another year or two... I hope.... if these DDOS idiots don't ruin it for everyone.

From https://www.linode.com/pricing https://www.linode.com/pricing : "Please note that all inbound traffic is free and will not count against your quota."
- jonathanoliver 11y agoAny the distros are configured to use local Linode mirrors for apt-get anyway.
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoAll the inbound traffic, not just traffic inside the Linode network. "Inbound" means from the Internet to the Linode-hosted server.
