Linode and Drupal

This site uses the Drupal CMS for everything you see. Along with this I host many other sites at Linode and all of them use Drupal for their backend.

Recently I checked to see just exactly what my Linode server was handling. On my largest site I have over 250,000 unique page views per month. Along with this I am using the Drupal Views, CCK, Stats, Contact, Vote, and many other modules. The exciting news is that this site can all be run from my Linode 360 account which only costs 19.95/month. This is the same or cheaper than many shared hosting accounts.

Even more exciting is that recently I upgraded my account to a Linode 540 which costs 29.95/month. I did this because i added a bunch more sites and I wanted to host all of them from the same server. Amazingly I now rarely see my CPU% go above 20% and I never use all the memory I have allocated.

All this leads me to conclude that overall Linode offers a great VPS service for any Drupal user who is in need. Note this also includes a mixture of both Drupal 5.x and Drupal 6.x sites in case anyone is wondering. Do you host through Linode or someone else using Drupal as your back end. Please leave me a comment below and let me know how it works for you.
