Linode · Rating & user reports
Long-established with a strong record on network and uptime, and users reporting years without an outage; product line has shifted a lot since the Akamai acquisition in 2022
The score above is our <strong>own editorial judgement</strong>, based on public information and user reports. It is not the conclusion of any third-party review body and is not purchase advice. Always check the provider's own terms before buying.
Linode launched in 2003 as one of the first developer-focused VPS providers and was acquired by Akamai in 2022, folding into its edge network. It is known for stability and a clean control panel, with users reporting years without an outage. Coverage spans thirty-odd regions at pricing comparable to DigitalOcean — above budget hosts, but you are buying network quality and a compliance story.
