Little did you know that we host this project on a very tiny Linode VPS that runs at $5 monthly.
Why do I love it so much besides for being so damn cheap?
Best availability
Linode has never given me uptime problems. And I hope this will never change. Linode as VPS provider has been around for years and they are always one head above others in terms of being more trustworthy. I trust my data to them.
Control your disks.
Linode has an amazing interface for partitioning your virtual server’s disk space! And this essentially lets me give this tiny server a sizeable swap space and structure my server’s data better for security and maintainability!
Linux kernel choice.
Linode maintains its own up-to-date Linux kernels. But you are free to use your distribution’s latest kernel instead. That’s great!
PTR record setup.
If you send emails from your server (and most of you do) you really want to have proper PTR record for your server’s IP address. And again, Linode got you covered – it’s so easy to set up one from their Linode Manager!
Top notch support.
When I started going live with GetPageSpeed at Linode, my concern was with load time being slightly above than expected.
I have opened a support ticket and within a day my issue was resolved. Those guys know their customer and how to make things run fast.
