Who to use as a backup to DO, is Linode a good choice?
- lykron 9y agoLinode, except for DDoSs, has been incredibly solid.
- sitepodmatt 9y agoAside from the DDOS incidents Linode is generally very solid in connectivity department, but their communication skills when things go wrong leaves a lot of be desired - often their status page is 20+ minutes behind and has omissions. The way they handled communication on security issues was equally poor.
- piniyini 9y agoI'm hoping one or the other will be available at any given time, currently I have 2 droplets with Route53 doing the failover but its still all eggs in one basket. If only we could migrate a backup over to linode/secondary provider would be much easier.
- lykron 9y agoYeah. Nobody is perfect, but Linode's technical features and support makes up for it in my book.
- piniyini 9y agoThanks, I was leaning towards them myself. Will sign up.
- mdekkers 9y agoI tried VULTR, but they also suck. Linode looks interesting, but they don't appear to offer private networking. I was spending hundreds of dollars a month on DO, VULTR and a few others. Last month I rented 3x 16 core 64GB bare metal servers, stuck Ceph on, and am now standing up Mesosphere on KVM. Cheaper, faster, and not more of an operational risk over using the cloud-clowns.
