Your point makes sweeping claims that "the entire incumbency" thought of DO as a Linode clone.
Can I see your survey results from 10 years ago, or is this an opinion formed by a Linode employee from a handful of conference conversations?
- webmobdev 6y agoAs a user, I agree - DO was seen a cheaper clone of Linode / Slicehost when they launched. I used to usually recommend Pair and Linode to my clients and, later DO to my more cost-conscious clients. At that time, I preferred Linode over DO, because the support was better and the prevalent practice than was to look suspiciously at new hosts because a lot of them folded up. You looked to older hosts, like Pair (and later Rackspace and Linode) because you knew they were reliable in both tech and the hosting business.
