🇺🇸

VPS from US by Akamai.

Consider fortrabbit an alternative choice to Linode, especially when you want to host PHP based websites.

# About Linode

Linode is a rock when it comes to developer friendly VPS hosting from the US. They are in the business since 2003. We have good experience with Linode, using it for external monitoring. We have also looked into Linode as a potential infra structure provider. Note that they have been acquired by Akamai in 2022. It's blending into the 'Akamai cloud'.

# Why not Linode?

It's unclear what the future is and if the current products will be continued. It appears that the offering is shifting from VPS, more to IaaS.

# Why fortrabbit

fortrabbit is different, small and beautiful. fortrabbit offers an app centric architecture and has been around for a while as well. It more affordable for most scenarios and easier to use. See if it fits for you.
