Linode is great. Wonderful options, reliable, excellent tools. Been using them for almost a decade.
It's hard to beat Netlify and Vercel for static content. They make it easy and you'll be up and running in seconds.
I know you said Clojure, but it's worth mentioning: if you do choose to make a JavaScript/TypeScript backend, Vercel + Next.js's API routes is a great option. With that combination you'll have a GitHub integrated CI/CD build (if you need it) and serverless functions behind a custom domain with SSL in minutes.
- shermozle 5y agoLinode are really good people. Super helpful, knowledgable support.
- a3n 5y agoVisible upvote for Linode, for benefit of the OP.
- juancn 5y agoI love Linode. I've been running a small site for 10 years or so, I can't remember any significant issue. I've had uptimes of years, broken by me updating something on the host. For example: 04:12:41 up 157 days, 9:47, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 (I rebuilt the linux image a few months ago, switched from an aging fedora to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS)
- gtirloni 5y agoNo kernel updates in that many days?
- juancn 5y agoNo. The site is no more than an HTML flyer. No user data or anything of value. Minimal external access (http, https and SSH), so the attack surface is very small. Even if I lost it, I can rebuild it from scratch in under an hour.
- larrykubin 5y agoSame, I have had a few client sites running on a Linode since 2009. Still going strong.
- pknerd 5y agoCan you share more info? Like you got a vps or running instances. Where do you host DB?
- mekster 5y agoGood thing about Linode is that they're self funded and can operate without unnecessary pressure.
