  Not even about the numerous security incidents?

    well i went back and skimmed their incidents. I mean, yeah those incidents suck, there's really no way around it. My day job has changed a lot since 2013. Could I, in clear conscious, recommend Linode to a client today? I would need to know each incident in detail and how they've changed and be convinced the past is staying in the past. My setup has always been there when i needed it and support has always been responsive and that goes a long ways. However, we all know a secure environment is at the top of the list.

  I was a fan of Digital Ocean when it first appeared, then it turned into a VC company trying to recreate half of AWS badly, and I slowly warmed up to Linode. I've used both professionally, and I still think while Linode has fewer fancy features you know you're dealing with a company of engineers, a sentiment I really can't feel anymore when I log on my DO dashboard. To be fair, I'm evaluating Hetzner now, because I just want affordable and performant virtual machines, while Linode are moving their focus to managed services because they're more profitable and are a great way to lock in their customers. Linode is no longer competitive if you just need to rent VPSes.
