Linode Turns 7, BIG RAM Increase
Linode had its humble beginnings on this day seven years ago with just a handful of servers, a whole lot of time invested in code, and a dream to bring the benefits of virtualization to the masses. Over the past seven years we’ve seen cloud computing and virtualization explode into an industry unto itself, and Linode has been, and continues to be, a pioneer in that industry. We had it right from the start.
Since Linode’s beginning we’ve continuously worked hard to provide the exceptional quality of service we feel our customers deserve. It’s been an honor and a privilege, and we’re incredibly proud of what Linode has become. You can bet Linode will continue to innovate, add features and services, and continue to grow as a company and a service, just as we’ve always done.
To commemorate this milestone and to show our appreciation for you, our customers, we’ve increased RAM across all our plans by about +42%. The new Linode Lineup looks like this: Linode 512, Linode 768, Linode 1024, Linode 1536, Linode 2048, Linode 4096 (4GB), Linode 8192 (8GB), Linode 12288 (12GB), Linode 16384 (16GB), Linode 20480 (20GB).
This upgrade is available immediately for existing and new customers. To take advantage of your new RAM, simply reboot once. That’s it!
Thank you for your business over the past seven years. We look forward to the next seven. Enjoy the resource increase.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great service!
Thanks for the RAM upgrade. I love linode. So much better than slicehost!
Awesome. I just rebooted after 150 days uptime – the only reason I rebooted was because I wanted the latest kernel and to my surprise I am now swimming in RAM!
Absolutely awesome service – I’ve had several upgrades on the way and am a happy customer. Long may it continue.
Congratulations and Happy (belated) Birthday Linode.
This is total CRAP! What kind of company gives users MORE of what they need at the SAME PRICE!
I work for IBM. I demand our RAM be reduced back down to 64MB and you should raise your rates to $200 per month!
I will not stand for this BS.
[…] had been smooth sailing since May (as expected), and Linode even gave a free RAM upgrade back in June (a bit unexpected). $19.95/month for a Xen VPS running Ubuntu 10.04 with 512MB of memory, 16GB of […]
Congrats on 7 years! Thanks for the upgrade.
Wow, what a nice surprise! Just rebooted.
Happy (belated) birthday!
I love your service – Best VPS I’ve ever used.
I left Linode earlier this year because of lack of need, but will be coming back, especially now. I miss my Linode.
I’m eagerly waiting for Linode’s 8th b’day! And the surprise goodies!!
