Have you heard of Linode?
I was searching for cloud hosting. Then I accidentally bumped into Linode.
Have you guys heard of this company? Is it any good or any bad stories?
Alexa rank is quite good. I'm now curious.

Thank You as always,

Yes, heard of them quite a bit.

I don't have any direct experiences with them but I can't say I've seen anything bad about them.

We used Linode and were very satisfied. Only reason we left was because you can't add more storage (at least that how was year ago).

We moved to Quadranet and are now on dedicated servers.

FYI, Linode is older than Amazon AWS, GCP, Azure, and a lot of others.

Been using Linode for various test servers and other projects for several years.

As long as their advertised specs work for you then you won't have a problem. If you need more space, additional IPs etc then you're better off elsewhere.

Whenever I've had to contact their support they've been great and resolved issues very quickly.

How have you NOT heard of Linode but have heard about GoDaddy(presumedly)?

LINODE = quality
GoDaddy = trash

Here are bunch of links with reviews. Never sure how accurate these are. Most seem positive.

Linode was the original unmanaged VPS host, years before Digital Ocean and Vultr. Linode feedback has been like the stock market over the years. Positive for a while, then negative, then positive again. There was a time when you said Linode, and it would elicit nods of respect. But no more, and not for years. Honestly, much like Digital Ocean, I think their reputation was largely hype. I've not used them in about a decade now.

Linode is good. Their support is responsive and they have a very large knowledgebase. Plus they are old and stable.

Linode is awesome but I like DigitalOcean a bit more. Both have great support and are very stable.

Hello,

Is Mddhosting a Cloud platform? or just shared hosting marketed as cloud?
I wonder if the cpanel with it is free.

Thank you.

Linode is one of my primary web hosts I use for my forums. Been using them for nearly 4 1/2 yrs - great performance and with upgraded network bandwidth you can great transfer speeds too 1-12Gbps out and 40Gbps in

Example local Linode 8GB VPS and 4GB VPS getting approximately 635MB/s to test outbound network speeds where domain.com is from Linode VPS server
Code:
wget -O /dev/null http://domain.com/vultr.com.1000MB.bin
--2018-07-14 14:18:38--  http://domain.com/vultr.com.1000MB.bin
Resolving domain.com... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connecting to domain.com|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 1048576000 (1000M) [application/octet-stream]
Saving to: ‘/dev/null’

/dev/null                                                      100%[==================================================================================================================================================>]   1000M   635MB/s    in 1.6s

2018-07-14 14:18:40 (635 MB/s) - ‘/dev/null’ saved [1048576000/1048576000]
Linode also much faster snapshot/backup/restore speeds compared to DigitalOcean and Vultr as well. But seems to be Linode data center dependent - in Linode Fremont datacenter my snapshot/data migration speed via Linode console is around 180-199MB/s while in Dallas getting around 120-150MB/s transfer speeds. A Linode 48GB VPS takes around 1.5-4.5 minutes to snapshot backup versus DigitalOcean 40GB droplet taking around 21+ minutes to snapshot backup !

CPU wise Linode has different cpu models in use depending on the data center so cpu performance can vary. You have the following cpus from what I have seen/experienced

Intel Xeon E5-2680v2
Intel Xeon E5-2680v3
Intel Xeon E5-2697v4
Intel Xeon Gold 6148
AMD EPYC 7501

Linode are great. They have had their fair share of major issues (search "Linode hacking" or "Linode DDoS") but overall the service works excellently.

If you want something similar to Linode, slightly worse performance but with more features and without negative events in their history, have a look at DigitalOcean.

Is this still a shared hosting?
or completely new cloud hosting platform and being shared to others?

Thank You,
Webson
So i'm eyeing on mddhosting. (I haven't found another "shared cloud hosting" site yet lol.)

It's shared hosting. The confusing "cloud" part likely refers to:

1. running the shared hosting service on 'cloud' servers, which itself can mean various things but should be a highly-available VPS; and
2. the use of CloudLinux LVE.

If you want your own cloud server, with the equivalent service of shared hosting, you will need to pay for a fully managed VPS at perhaps 20x the cost of a typical shared hosting plan or more.

There are other providers using the confusing "cloud hosting" term for shared hosting, for example: https://krystal.co.uk/cloud-hosting
Thank You as always,

Who hasn't heard of Linode? I would not consider hosting with them based off of their Alexa rank though.
Was thinking this myself when I first read the topic but forgot to mention it.

Since when was Alexa rank a good indication of which hosting provider to choose?!

It's still a factor for good indication, well for me atleast.

I would check webhosting's alexa rank + confirmed reviews from WHT

A good alexa rank for me is somewhere in the middle.

Not too low and not too high. (Though there is 1 exceptional hosting that is high.)

I'm not sure, I guess moderate users for me is better.

Linode has always been great, I have personally used their services every now and then.

Linode, Digital Ocean, Vultr, they are great. I used Linode in the past, it's ok except I forgot to destroy the instance so they still charged me (my mistake anyway). Currently I'm using Vultr but considering to move to DO cause they have more flexible pricing structure.

Any of the three. But to my dismay, all cpanels with them will cost me additional $15/month. @.@

You don't need a paid control panel like cPanel.

There are free control panels like VirtualMin, VestaCP, Centos Web Panel will do the job as well as cPanel.

I have tried them and it been one of my favourites.
