"A solid VPS provider"

4/5

What do you like best about Akamai Cloud Computing?

Linode has what many cheap VPS providers do not have, a native load balancer. This allows me to easily setup a load balanced web server without having to add additional servers to manage the balancing. It helps when doing updates and testing to be able to remove single servers out of the mix and re-add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akamai Cloud Computing?

Linode has had a few instances of downtime in the past couple years, which lasted a decent amount of time. I also dislike how they had, at least at once point, a pretty low threshold for IO Ops, resulting in me getting notifications that I was over utilizing the VPS by simply doing a reindex of an ElasticSearch install on a 2gb instance.

Recommendations to others considering Akamai Cloud Computing:

Evaluate your uptime needs before you make a decision. Other than that, it's been fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
