If anyones thinking of switching to digitalocean, I’m currently switching linode from digitalocean who had an unforgivable, catastrophic loss of vm.
Digitalocean also prevebts customers from downloading disk image backups offsite for any kind of adult DR. Linode lets you download backup images right from the admin console.
- mxuribe 4y agoI was thinking on moving to Hetzner (from Digital Ocean) - now that they have/will have a data center in Virginia....but i have heard iffy things about hetzner (some people are happy, others not so much). I should clarify, i'm only thinking on moving due to costs (not because i have encountered any ops or support issues). The stuff that i host is not as essential, and could do with slightly lower costs. ;-)
- pbowyer 4y agoI'm using UpCloud who are good, but a bit more expensive than Linode or DigitalOcean.
- jaachan 4y agoNormally I'd agree, but... Have you seen today's status ? https://status.upcloud.com/ https://status.upcloud.com/ 6 hour downtime and no updates
- samtho 4y agoFor what it’s worth, I’ve been a Linode customer for about 12 years and have never had a problem. This current issue does not even affect me as my boxes are on static IPs. My setup consists of a number of Linode VPSes, a single Hetzner Box in Germany, and an S3 glacier bucket (the only Amazon service I use) for backups. It’s probably not optimal, especially for the business case, but it works for all my hobby and side projects.
- j45 4y agoFor sure. I’ve had linode for a very long time. Not leaving them because of how good their tech support is or was to help me early on in my career, but they can’t be a point of failure either. I’ll just get to see how easily a hybrid cloud might be orchestrated like yours. Things are drastically easier to learn to setup and maintain like you have said compared to 5 or 10 years ago. Docker is docker, and traefik is traefik.

- j45 4y agoDeleted everything despite there being a valid cc with plenty of room on the card. They admitted they didn’t charge like they should have.
- jacooper 4y agoHetzner looks good.
- j45 4y agoThanks I’ll revisit them. Had a lot of dedicated servers in my past and turned the self hosting part of my brain off I have also heard iWeb is or was a good choice for value. Montreal data centres can be a well kept secret.
