@Alucard:
… the blog it links …
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.
and for caker fatboy.cake.net.au
Moxie Marlinspike
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).

Linode Staff
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.

My wife's website, one of the most visited italian Mom sites (more than 500k views / month), is hosted on a linode 1080.
Not the tipical site visited by linux geeks, but perhaps by their wives
@Guspaz:
I host fixppp.org on mine.
A site about correcting urinary tract infections might be fixpp.com…
No match for "FIXPP.COM".

You going to do it?

The site is currently getting slammed, though, rendering it largely unavailable. /me wonders what size linode it's running on.
