Newbie questions

> 1) This may seem a bit stupid, but is Linode reliable?:shock:

Yes they are reliable, the hosts only go down for maintance, view other current threads. The reliability of your actual node is down to you.

> 2)Is any one using Linode64 for serious business? If yes, any URL?

There are many people using it for serious business, do not know any URL off hand.

> 3) I would like to get a Linode64 for serious app hosting…. I'm going to do stuffs with Tomcat or Resign + PostgreSQL . My question is: Would Linode64 be able to handle this?

I have never used Tomcat or Resign or PostgreSQL but it should be able to handle it, my linode runs mysql and apache without a problem.

I run Tomcat and Apache w/PHP support and am generally happy with the performance (it's snappier than my old static host). It really depends on how many simultaneous users you're catering to, and how much the CPU is being used by other linodes on your host.

If you don't need any Apache-specific features, don't use it; have Tomcat listen on port 80. This will improve response time as Apache does not need to act as a middleman.

I'm running Tomcat on 80 and 443 with postgres on a Linode64 it works well for my load but that's only about 10 users.

At work I also use Tomcat and postgres to serve ~100 clients and if I wanted to host that on Linode I'd go for a 128 or 256.

Of course you can always start with a 64 and upgrade if needed. :)
