Any recommendations (Score: 1) by rocks@pipedot.org on 2014-05-14 14:22 (#1KP) I currently use https://www.linode.com/ (Linode) for webhosting, anybody have any recommendations over whether it is worth considering a switch to any of the top 10 given in the parent article?

I'm not surprised they're not on the list: they are smaller, specializing in PHP template sites you could use to get a Joomla or Drupal or Wordpress site up and running in minimal time. But I get the idea they were over-subscribed, because I started having all sorts of trouble getting even simple pages to load. Finally dumped them for my VPN, so I've saved a lot of money annually and also have my own dedicated bandwidth. On the other hand, I get to administer my own Apache server, which is not easy and is slightly scary.
