I guess you are right, I am currently using LinodeAkamai Connected Cloud for most of work, and ovh for handling high volume of traffic as in Ontario. I saw a branch of ServerMania in Hamilton when I d

I have experienced disk failure with Vultr a couple of times. If it was me, I would use nanode on Linode Akamai connected cloud for monitoring. It also comes with fast ticket support too.

difficult to estimate. In the US and APAC/other Linode still remains cost effective from what I can see.

I'm not suprised by announced price increases. Nearly every cloud compute provider has been forced to do it at this point. And the email is not wrong, Linode was priced siginificanly below most of the

I guess Akamai is not aware of haggling... they went for the price increase before the new paint on Linode's new website was dry.

Obviously nothing is 100%, I'd go with two machines split between Azure, AWS, GCP, Linode or Vultr. Used go be a DO fan but it has been a while.

Signed up here finally after a good few months of active talks with some VPS providers of the LET community about how to better compete with VPS / cloud providers like Digitalocean, Vultr, Linode etc.

Linode has 500gb but for $10.

I have checked Vultr, Linode and other "high-end" vps providers and they do indeed look nice.

relied upon cloud services, if Akamai didn't buy Linode it would of been another company as consolidation is bound to happen as someone will want to compete with AWS or Azure.

Akamai itself is going through tough times now. So there is not a small chance that they will follow Linode

Hope that Akamai will not retire low-cost tiers so that lots of us do not need to move away from the "old" Linode infra.

I believe DO has surpassed Linode Library imho.

Softlayer was gobbled up for double the price nearly 10 years ago to create IBM's cloud. I have to imagine Linode, despite the brand recognition among tech folks, must have been significantly smaller.
