The cloud that grows with you from idea to MVP and beyond
Launching a business requires a lot of decisions and changes along the way. Check “reliable affordable cloud infrastructure” off your list. Save on essential cloud infrastructure to get your startup on the map, and you don’t need to risk vendor lock-in or high cloud bills in the future to get your business off the ground. Get flat reliable pricing, best-in-class customer support, and personalized partnership opportunities to help you succeed in the long run.
Transparent Pricing
Build your infrastructure costs into your long-term projections as your startup grows. No surprises on your invoice, and no calculator required. Your infrastructure costs will also stay the same if you need to expand to new global regions. Our flat pricing structure applies to all 11 of our global data centers.
No-Tiered Support for All Customers
Unlike other cloud providers, we're independently-owned and over-invest in human customer support. For startups, calling or emailing our Linode Support team feels like you have an extra team member available 24/7/365 to help you troubleshoot and solve problems faster, whether you're spending $5 or $500 per month.
Tools and Flexibility to Scale
Only use what you need. Rapidly resize compute instances, add or reduce storage, and manage your networking in the intuitive Cloud Manager or use the Linode API. Built-in tools like network-wide Advanced DDoS Protection, DNS Manager, and S3-compatible Object Storage make it easier to do more.
Technical Guides for DIY-ers
Documentation designed for users who have to wear many hats. Get intuitive, in-depth instructions on everything from setting up a secure WordPress server to running cloud GPUs, or search the Linode Community to get the guidance you need from fellow Linode customers and Linode employees.
