Today marks Linode’s 5th birthday, and we wanted to extend our sincere thanks by increasing the disk space on all plans by 20%.  The extra space is available now for both existing and new customers.  We appreciate your business, so enjoy! To take advantage of your Linode’s new space, simply log into the Linode Manager, […]

Last night we turned up our initial deployment of machines at a facility in Newark, NJ.  It’s operated by NAC, who runs an impressive facility, has many great peering arrangements, and doesn’t block any ports.  We’ve got redundant gigabit uplinks, plenty of power and cooling, and room to grow.  We’re hoping that this facility will […]

We’ve released a new version of the Linode Manager with many goodies.  Besides a reorganization of the code (which makes us devs happy), the locations of many pre-existing features have been reorganized as well. But, the real news is this has enabled us to implement some cool features… Single Sign On Multiple Linodes can now […]

We’ve had a few requests for larger Linodes.   So, a new plan has just been created — the Linode 2880.  Enjoy!

James Barrett (aka jadoba), of PLUG fame, has joined the Linode team effective today.  Jim maintains the Debiosk, which is a system for quickly building Debian based kiosks.  Welcome aboard Jim!

It’s official — Xen is now live at Linode. It’s been a long road, almost four years in fact, but, with the help of our community, the most recent beta program has finally proven Xen to be ready for action. What does Xen mean for you? Xen has less overhead compared to UML. Xen Linodes […]

Tis the season and all, and since it feels good to give I just couldn’t resist. We’ve increased the RAM on all plans by 20%, for new and existing customers! Linode 300 becomes [b]Linode 360[/b] Linode 450 becomes [b]Linode 540[/b] Linode 600 becomes [b]Linode 720[/b] Linode 900 becomes [b]Linode 1080[/b] Linode 1200 becomes [b]Linode 1440[/b] […]

[b]Clone a Linode’s Configuration/disks to another Linode[/b] This feature enables you to clone a Linode’s configuration and data over to another Linode that is linked to your account. You can select an entire configuration profile to clone — and this will automatically create the configuration profile in the target Linode, and copy all disk images […]

I’ve added a new utility which, in effect, allows you to do some of the whole “High Availability” clustering thing, with IP failover between Linodes within the same data center. The utility does not manage or configure IP failover for you, but it does allow the selected IP addresses from linked Linodes to be brought […]

[b]Move or swap IPs across linked Linodes within the same data center[/b] You can now move and/or swap IP addresses assigned from one Linode to another Linode that’s under your account — as long as they’re in the same datacenter. This new feature is located off the Remote Access subtab by clicking on “IP Swap”. […]

[b]Datacenter selection on first log in[/b] You can now select the geographic location of your Linode during the inital login! Here’s how it works: Upon your initial login (or the first “switch to” for a new Linode added to an existing account), if there’s availability in any of our other datacenters for the Linode plan […]
