Linode.
- no nonsense prices
- solid hardware, with good, consistent performance & low steal (even on shared nodes, but dedicated is there if you need it)
- great support (humans you can call)
- adding more and more managed services over the last few years
- jkaplowitz 4y agoAnd now part of Akamai as of March 21: https://www.akamai.com/newsroom/press-release/akamai-completes-acquisition-of-linode https://www.akamai.com/newsroom/press-release/akamai-complet... Whether the future is consistent with the past on the points you listed is hard to predict so soon after they got acquired, but I suspect it will increasingly diverge over time.
- jhugo 4y agoWe trialled Linode for a bandwidth-heavy product and found that their network has quite heavy contention (decent enough speeds for bulk TCP stuff, but frequent periods of elevated packet loss, latency and jitter that caused problems for our realtime application). It makes sense given how cheap their bandwidth is, and probably isn't an issue for hosting websites / API servers / etc, but something to be aware of.
