“We have been experiencing a catastrophic DDoS attack”
I've done some googling before asking here: Can anybody explain why Linode is so often targeted like this? We moved Cronitor off Linode in spring 2015. During the christmas holiday when they suffered a 2 week DDOS I thought of the family time I'd be missing that year as we did a crash migration to AWS had we not migrated when we did. I have to imagine this has been <i>horrible</i> for their business.<p>I would use Linode if I needed to lease computational power, because it is still a great value vs AWS, but I could not run a high availability service there. It would feel like professional malpractice at this point.
