Managed Linode
Linode, run by our team
Now part of Akamai, with a Mumbai region and one of the longest track records in the business. A solid, unexciting choice, which is a compliment in hosting.

Why Linode
What Linode is good at
We run the same management on every cloud, so the only question is which provider suits your audience and budget.
Akamai network
Linode runs on Akamai’s backbone, which is one of the largest edge networks in the world.
Twenty years of uptime history
Founded in 2003, and one of the first companies to sell virtual servers at all.
Mumbai region
Indian traffic stays in India.

Management
What we do on top of the server
Provisioned and tuned
We size the server, build the stack, and tune LiteSpeed, PHP, Redis and MySQL for your workload. You get a running site, not an empty Ubuntu box.
Patched and hardened
OS and stack updates, firewall rules, SSL renewal and malware scanning are ours to keep current, including the ones that land at 2am.
Watched around the clock
Uptime, CPU, memory and disk are monitored continuously. When something moves the wrong way, an engineer is already looking at it.
Backups you can restore
Offsite backups with one-click restore, with storage billed at $0.033 per GB per month. We test restores, because a backup you have never restored is not a backup.
Scaled without downtime
Traffic spike or a sale coming up? We resize the server or add capacity, usually while the site stays up.
Supported by people
Real engineers on chat, ticket and phone, in your timezone, not eleven hours behind it.
Migration

The site runs on a temporary address until you have clicked through it and signed off.

Cutover happens at a time you choose, with the old host kept warm as a fallback.
