This post and the blog it links to got me thinking about what people would actually miss if they blacklisted all of Linode. So what do we know of?

- Mibbit
- The Onion? (theonion.com resolves to a Linode IP, but not www.theonion.com)

I suggest we all nullroute blogger. Nothing smart comes out of it anyways. And there are many phishing and malware blogs on it, so that's the only way to be safe.

I host fixppp.org on mine. Not much in terms of traffic, but to people using MLPPP for their net connection, rather important.

Certainly not a complete list, but http://toolbar.netcraft.com/netblock?q=LINODE-US,74.207.224.0,74.207.255.255 gives quite a few (including my newly moved website, others to follow :)).

What defines "notable"? Traffic? Popularity?

What would be more interesting is having a list of notable sites, and the kind of set up they use (how many Linodes, what size, what kind of arrangement, software stack, etc).

Hopefully you aren't using the backup system to back it up.

Obligatory: All sites on the Planet Linode Blog Aggregator are hosted by Linodes.

I was surprised to see that xkcd was hosted by Linode, as well as Mibbit. Creative Commons and SQLite are also some relatively large names.

I guess when I first joined up with Linode back in like 2006, I got the idea they were the small hole-in-the-wall company (mind you they did their job well, I just didn't think they were popular). I guess I never really moved away from the mindset. Now they have a fulltime staff of what, 7? Used to be just caker, mike, and tasaro. The fact that the owner (and founding members) still hang out in IRC and actually answer questions and do support makes it seem very down to earth and personal.

I'm going to stop before this feels anymore like a testimonial.

I was too, so I dug into it. I see no evidence that it is. Voxel.net appears to be who hosts xkcd

I don't see it yet either, but it seems to have been at least at one point.
Code: 22:09 -!- xkcd [~Spider@c-66-30-14-175.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #linode
22:09 -!- xkcd is now known as Randall
22:10 < Randall> My linode just got accidentally reddited.
