I was wondering if anybody who uses Slicehost would elaborate on the advantages of Slicehost over Linode?
At the surface, it would seem that Linode offers more bang for your buck (almost twice as much) and outdoes Slice in the performance benchmarks.
Thoughts?
- ig1 16y agoSlicehost is more friendly to inexperienced sys admins in terms of docs, etc.
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoBut you can use all the Slicehost docs while you setup your Linode box, which is what I do :) Linode also has StackScripts, which are pre-configured user-contributed setups for your VPS, so setting up a LAMP server is really easy.
- jedsmith 16y agoLinode has http://library.linode.com/ http://library.linode.com/ too.
- noodle 16y agoi started using slicehost a while before i knew of linode. haven't switched due to not having the time to make the switch.
- mcantor 16y agoSlicehost is simpler, Linode is more feature-rich.
- code_duck 16y agoI moved away from Slicehost due to frequent performance problems, which I found were related to disk thoroughput. This was at the STL data center. It was driving me nuts until I figured out it wasn't due to something going on in my own system. I had a spare Linde which was relatively trouble free, so I moved the main server to Linode and it has been so much better. Currently it has 2-3 times the activity as the server doing the same job had on slicehost with no performance problems, ever. AND it is cheaper than Slicehost.
