Ask HN: Is it just me or does Linode lately go down more frequently than usual?

  • I work for a company who pays $100k+ /month to Linode and we’ve regularly had uptime issues (for years) due to urgent maintenance or other outages in their data centers. Speaking of which, they currently have connectivity issues now in their London DC. I’d look to some other VPS provider like GCP/AWS/DO.

  • Aside from one planned and well-notified migration, I have not had any Linode downtime that I haven't caused myself.

  • I have had zero downtime save for one planned and notified migrantion.
