Djangofriendly

I've been using Linode for about 2 years and I'm very satisfied. The support staff is very professional, and no other hosting provider has a so big number of available and up to date distros. I'm running 3 boxes, one of these with Ubuntu 7.10/Django/Apache 2.2/mod_python & MySQL.

This one I'm using also besides slicehost... I havn't had any complaint and am very happy with them

I'm running a Linonde virtual server and I don't have any complaint about it. I'm running Django and Web.Py applications.

I've been using Linode for almost three years now, and I love it. - The Linode team (now 3 people) are very fast, very good, and nearly always on IRC. - They give us free memory / disk upgrades every so often! - This probably applies to other providers too, but being on a virtual server means you add more memory / storage really easily, and migrate to a different physical machine in the event of hardware failure. - Xen servers. - The Linode forum has been very helpful. - A range of extra services, such as auto-reboot if your box hangs, a floating IP address for high-availability setups, private IPs so two Linodes in the same datacenter can talk with using your bandwidth allowance, reverse DNS, etc.

I'm running Django with Apache, MySQL on a Gentoo box, and currently setting up Perlbal, Django/Apache and MySQL on a new Ubuntu box.

I have no connection to Linode other than as a customer.

too expensive

I've been using Linode on & off for a few years, and I've yet to find a more reliable hosting provider. My current account isn't quite a year old, but I have yet to reboot (or have the host server rebooted).

I run Django (+ mod_wsgi) & CherryPy (+ mod_proxy) apps behind Apache2. I use both SQLite and PostgreSQL databases, and have a couple of SSL protected sites. My sites are fairly low traffic, but Linode gives me plenty of room to grow.

My one tip to new users would be to not host your e-mail on a Linode unless its only a handful of users. For a time I was hosting over 100 accounts, and filtering the flood spam & viruses through spamassasin and clamav just wasted all of my Linode's resources. Thats just my experience though.

Linode is a really helpful and reliable provider. Would recommend for any sort of web application hosting.

Liode is awesome. I moved to linode from slicehost. No reasons though. But I like the amount of freedom linode gives you. The graphs of your uptime, CPU cycles is awesome. On the whole the service is great!!

One downside is their support is good but not great. The irc channel is kind of slow. Some time dont get response too. If you create a ticket you get reply pretty fast.. Also the articles & documentation is not upto the mark. If you know how to set up your environment then you 'll have a great time.

A great hosting company. I've been running a Django app on Linode for a little over a year now with no trouble at all.

Support is extremely responsive to trouble tickets, and the community in the IRC channel is very helpful (and a lot of fun).

Just a quick note to yashh's comment: Support tickets are the official support mechanism. If you need help on something right away, open a ticket. The staff spend a lot of time in the IRC channel (and they have recently added staff to be able to do that even more), but tickets trigger some sort of notification, so you're sure it'll be spotted.

Great support. Good and Handy documentation.
