Some Feelings of Using Linode

| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks
Linode is a VPS service provider. I signed up Linode 360 one month ago and then upgraded to Linode 540. Until now, I am very happy with their services. I want to share some of my feelings here.
  1. Easy sign-up and payment. It is said phone verification is required, but I didn't receive the call (maybe because I am in Australia), and about half an hour later, the account was activated.
  2. Easy OS installation. If I mess up, just re-install in the Linode manager.
  3. Guaranted resources. Linode 360 guarantees no more than 40 linodes on a host. Linode 540 gurantees no more than 30. The memory will not be shared with others, but the CPU time can be burstable. If the CPU slice of neighbors is idle, it will be shared with others. On my linode, the host load is always idle or low according to the graph. My host is Lighttpd based (has a personal website and a Movable Type blog). Current memory usage is about 50M. 
  4. Data centers at different locations. It is pretty good for users at different areas. I chose the data center at Fremont CA. While SSH, it has a very little lag.
  5. On the dashboard of Linode manager, the CPU usage, network usage and  I/O rate are presented with graphs, so the linode can be easily monitored.
  6. Easy upgrade. If upgrade is required, just open a support ticket. The staff will response shortly. If the new host is in the same data center, the IP won't change.
  7. Increased resources. The resources of each linode increase. Several days ago, the disk storage increases 20% because of 5 year anniversary.
Above is my feelings after one month use. Hope they are useful for you.

Did you know that short term memory loss is somewhat avoidable? It's actually exciting what the brain can do if you increase your brain activity and eat with a healthier nutrition. I had been at one time worried about memory loss, but now I see the merit in challenging my mind to a regimen of fitness of its own.

Nice post. Thank you for information ! Please keep posting.

Been lookin for some useful information for the past hour thanks for this!
