Linode down more than 50 mins

My linode server can not be reached via web and ssh. Posted a support ticket but no answer.

Do you have better choice for web app?

http://notemoz.com/ can not be accessed for longer than 1 hour.

Id stick with linode still

Only one facility of many is affected. Appears to be the DC rather than just Linode's racks.

Outages are inevitable with any provider, redundant architecture across multiple providers is what you need, not moving to a different provider.

For the 3+ years I've been with Linode, this is the only significant outage I can remember (and my Linode is not affected). It's not exactly cause for alarm and switching providers. Everyone just relax a bit.

my linode down 2 times in the last year.

It's their second downtime this year as far as I could remember. Hope they solve this soon.

I can confirm it was he.net fremont 1. around 2Kw of my servers went down too.

Fremont 1 has been ridiculously unreliable lately; several outages a year; almost as bad as my home power.

Note, for both linode and myself, this is only one data center. I know for me, this is a small fraction of my total servers, and I'm looking at getting out sometime between now and when my contract is up in October.

Can linode let you choose your data center? If you can choose, I would encourage you to leave fremont 1. I know I'm going to start encouraging my own customers to do so.

My understanding is that Fremont 2 is newer and has much more reliable power; It's only a few blocks away, so I'm considering just moving there. My other option is to leave he.net entirely.
