VPS hosting @ Linode.com

It is one week since I signed up for the Linode VPS package. So far so good is my impression about their service. It is a very short time to evaluate a hosting service. Especially as I am running only a couple of low traffic websites on top of apache. But still I should say something about my initial experience.



The signup process was very quick. After I filled up my personal details, I got a mail with a link to continue signup process. I filled up remaining information - my choice was the basic package, Linode 360 for 19.95$ PM. Immediately afterwards I got an invoice mail followed by a payment receipt. Five more minutes and I got the account activation mail. All these took only ten minutes. I logged into the control panel (Linode manager), set my root password, partitioned the hard disk and installed a CentOS image. Within twenty minutes my server was up and running. Now that is cool, right? Your own server in thirty minutes. I was really impressed.

I will post some features of linode manager soon.
