I love Linode.

I've been running a small site for 10 years or so, I can't remember any significant issue. I've had uptimes of years, broken by me updating something on the host.

For example:

04:12:41 up 157 days, 9:47, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

(I rebuilt the linux image a few months ago, switched from an aging fedora to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS)

Same, I have had a few client sites running on a Linode since 2009. Still going strong.

Can you share more info? Like you got a vps or running instances. Where do you host DB?

No kernel updates in that many days?

No. The site is no more than an HTML flyer. No user data or anything of value.

Minimal external access (http, https and SSH), so the attack surface is very small.

Even if I lost it, I can rebuild it from scratch in under an hour.
