Linode faz 8 anos; Espaço em disco +25

É difícil acreditar que já passaram oito anos desde que Linode foi lançado. Qual é o velho adágio - "Um homem que ama o que faz nunca trabalhará um dia na sua vida"? Ou que tal "O tempo voa quando se está a divertir"? Bem, posso certamente atestar a verdade de ambos. Acredito nisto e quero-o para todos - especialmente para os empregados da Linode. É importante para mim que todos na equipa adorem o que faz - tanto pelo seu bem estar pessoal como pelo benefício da empresa. Tivemos muita sorte em encontrar pessoas tão talentosas, motivadas e apaixonadas, todas elas partilhando o meu entusiasmo pela Linode. Todos eles adoram o que fazem, e fazem-no por si.

Quando comecei a trabalhar em Linode, há quase uma década, no final de 2002, havia uma coisa que eu sabia com certeza: que ia ser um sucesso. A minha medida de sucesso nessa altura era muito mais humilde do que a realidade actual de Linode, e ainda o é, e é por isso que encontro tanto espanto naquilo que conseguimos ao longo dos últimos oito anos e na quantidade de mudanças na vida dos empregados que se devem a Linode. As pessoas mudaram-se para cá vindas de todo o país, fundaram relações, casaram-se (incluindo uma cerimónia realizada *AT* no escritório) e começaram a ter filhos e a criar famílias. Estou orgulhoso das realizações pessoais e profissionais que a nossa tripulação de companheiros de equipa alcançou.

Nos últimos 12 meses crescemos para mais de 40.000 clientes e levámos as receitas para 140% durante o período anterior de 12 meses. Isso representa uma duplicação das receitas de nove em nove meses, aproximadamente. Dobrámos o número de empregados. Aperfeiçoámos o nosso Serviço de Backup gerido, lançámos silenciosamente uma interface Linode Manager completamente renovada e API, actualizámos a nossa capacidade de rede nas cinco instalações nos EUA e Europa, fizemos progressos significativos nas nossas capacidades IPv6, fomos capazes de patrocinar numerosas conferências Linux e F/OSS, e construímos o nosso projecto de documentação da Biblioteca Linode para mais de 400 guias e how-tos. Não há dúvida que o ímpeto que acumulámos e os planos que temos em marcha darão origem a outra lista abundante de realizações ao longo destes próximos 12 meses.

Celebrar o nosso sucesso inclui-o a si, nosso cliente. Em honra do nosso aniversário, estamos a aumentar o espaço em disco em todos os planos em +25%. Isto está agora disponível tanto para os Linodes novos como para os já existentes. Para tirar partido do seu novo espaço pode simplesmente redimensionar a imagem do seu disco existente, clicando na imagem e entrando no novo tamanho.

Obrigado por um excelente ano e aproveite a actualização!

Sinceramente,
Christopher S. Aker
Linode fundador & CEO

    Happy birthday dear Linode,
    Happy birthday to you!

    I can’t help but feel you’ve got this the wrong way round, though. Surely we should be giving you gifts on your birthday? Not the other way round!? Hell, I won’t complain! 😛

    Cheers guys!

    Congrats Chris & Everyone at Linode!

    You guys still provide one of the best experiences I’ve had to date and my +500 days of uptime proves that in itself. Since my node last booted you guys have given us two disk space increases and a ram increase. Even without those, it was great back then and it looks like it will continue to be.

    Keep up the great work!

  22. Author Photo

    Congrats, and I’ve no doubt there will be 8 more fruitful years for you guys. Your services are amazing – no problems, no excuses, just great service.

  23. Author Photo

    Happy Birthday Linode – The best hosting provider i ever have tried – Keep up the good work! – Thanks for the diskspace :-)!

  28. Author Photo

    I was just looking at the Linode manager and wondering why I was only using 80% of my allocation.

    This explains that 🙂

    Now I need to figure out why cpu usage suddenly plunged downward.. not that it’s a bad thing 🙂

  29. Author Photo

    Thank you and Happy Birthday!
    Cheers… 😀

    Excellent! Happy birthday!

    When I first came to Linode, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I came from the shared hosting world and had experimented for a month with Slicehost, which didn’t really catch my attention. I’ve been amazed to see Linode grow the way it did and feel very lucky to have found them.

    Thank you for all your hard work, for the bonus space, and for everything else.
    You guys are the best.
    Happy Birthday! 🙂

    As the official grumpy old man constantly whining about disk space in the Linode forums, let me also say thank you very much. May I suggest making this a yearly increase?

  56. Author Photo

    Oh Linode, how we love you!

  57. Author Photo

    To be successful doing something you love, and have customers love you in return. You’re livin’ the dream guys!

    Congrats Linode, the service is great and I hope you’ll be there and relevant 8 years from now. And thanks for that 25% !

  61. Author Photo

    Will the extras/add-ons pricing for storage be reduced in price as well?

  62. Author Photo

    Happy birthday and thank for this great upgrade.

  63. Author Photo

    Congrats + thanks for great top notch service.

  64. Author Photo

    Great news!! I hope someone over there considers this idea as well: Have a network attached storage device that lets you borrow a bit of space for say 24 hours, for a small fee that gets tagged on to your bill. That way when your linode is getting full, you could still back it all up. I don’t want to pay for a backup service, and often I’m so full I can’t write out a tar file to download. Resizing and downsizing is also a pain with downtime. I think it would be fairly easy for you to implement and would be a new revenue stream as well.

  82. Tools of the trade « Tutor With Me

    […] Hosting: Linode ($20/mo) How we use it: We are only running one instance currently and it’s actually live at tutorwith.me but there isn’t much there today besides a form to collect emails of people interested in participating in the beta. We are in the process of setting up a staging area that is internal only at live.tutorwith.me so that we can see how the next version that we will push to all users will look like. This way we we can hammer out bugs before they are visible to the public. Why we chose it: Having tried many VPS solutions out there including but not limited to Rackspace, Media Temple and Amazon EC2, Linode is the clear winner in terms of performance for the price you pay. They were also very generous recently and treated everyone with a + 25% disk space for their 8th anniversary. […]

    i stupidly looked elsewhere once upon a time for hosting..
    and i came to realise that nothing compares!
    thank you for being so fantastic at what you do.
    happy birthday!

    Props and Grats!

    Hi Chris,

    Congratulations on the anniversary. While your growing customer base and profit is a measure of success I think the real measure is how many original customers you’ve retained! and how you get most of your referrals by reputation. I started off in 2003 with you on my own personal virtual and now in my job I’ve influenced several decisions regarding hosting so throughout the group of companies I support we probably use at least 10 linodes 🙂

  98. Author Photo

    I’m a little late to the party but thanks guys, this is a great treat!!!

    This is a late notice for me, not sure how I missed it, but found it at the right time with storage issues on my end. Thanks for celebrating your awesome growth, success and a slice of the anniversary space cake.

  103. Author Photo

    Thank you so much (and here I was thinking of shuffling my partitions a bit cause I needed more space in one of them). 😀

    Thanks guys,

    As a newbie to anything Linux (Since January 2011) you guys have converted me to Linux which I love, because i use Linode off course.

    Keep up the great work and thanks for the extra space.

    ah ah ah I was thinking to had been stoned or whatever, figure it “I resized my disks and can’t remember when, or WHY?!”

    then realized that there was much more space allotted and *dang!* checked the news 🙂

    thanks for this, and for the great service!

  113. Author Photo

    this is a great treat!

    thanks very much….

  114. Author Photo

    Patrick: Not sure how I missed it either – but I’m happy – and thankful that Linode takes care of their customers. I’ve been SO happy since I signed on a little over a year ago. This upgrade in disk space coincides quite nicely with a minor adjustment I’m making on my shared (Linode) servers that I manage – doing some upgrades, and reconfiguring some things while adding some redundancy to the mix!

  115. Author Photo

    Happy birthday and many more years to come !

  116. Author Photo

    Congratulations on your achievement and thanks for the extra disk space! Linode is unparalleled and I thank my lucky stars I found it for my business.

  117. Author Photo

    Well, I logged into my Linode account today after months of not paying it any heed … (that is actually a very GOOD thing — how many providers out there are so unstable that you are checking their site every other day for problems? Not so with Linode, I could go away for a year and everything would still be ticking!) … and got a VERY pleasant surprise! A pile of extra breathing room! First it was extra RAM… now extra DISK! Linode, you rock, happy belated birthday greetings too! Going to go add another two years right away! 🙂

  118. Author Photo

    Thanks!! Linode is the best

    Happy Birthday ! Linode truly rocks. We’ve been with you for a couple of year now, and we tried pretty much all the competition out there. Linode comes first each and every time and on pretty much every front.

    You don’t brag about having “fanatical” support, but it’s simply the best out there, and by far. Quick response time, professional, knowledgable.

    Your server offering is great, with a choice of data centres, an API, really nice interface and an iphone app.

    What more can we ask for?? (well, there are a few things on the roadmap I’m sure), but to be honest – Just keep up the good work. No fancy stuff. No bells and no whistles. Just solid hosting that works !

  125. Author Photo

    I don’t want to complain, I love linode and have been using it for about 2 years.

    However, recently I’ve had offers from local hosting providers that beat you on price, and this is high-priced Switzerland we’re talking about.

    For instance 1.5GB RAM cost as much as 768MB linode. A 3GB instance scost me as much as a Linode 1GB. The rest of the features is comparable.
