Chacham's Journal: Verbiage/Ad: Linode $20 credit

I guess this is an ad of sort, but i wanted to share. I have been using Linode for some years and am quite happy with them. Basically, its virtual root with a decent UI and support team. They charge by the server, either by month or by hour, and the basic system is $5 a month. Need a quick server or command line, within minutes your up and running. My only complaint is sometime "recently" they changed from the hierarchical support forum to the top down style. Ugh.

Anyway, i ran across this page offering a $20 credit signup bonus. At the very least, that's 4 months free. If used just when needed, that can last quite some time.

Just wanted to share. I think they are worth checking out if you need virtual root.

Thanks!

You can probably sign up and then not use the credit, or only use it for a short period of time. For whatever reason, i got a credit some years ago and use it as needed.

I've been using them for years - about 15 years now, as I recall, having started with a 64 Mb 32 bit VPS built on User-Mode Linux, now I'm paying the same price for a massively upgraded VPS on the same IP and login - probably the majority of reboots over that time have been to apply the periodic free upgrades to spec!

I find it funny, that few companies withstand the test of time, and you just pick your favorites. I probably found them here on slashdot anyway.
