I have worked tracking web hosts for over a decade now and have always followed Linode and Digital Ocean being that both were/are major players.

I'm curious when you think Linode lost the ball (I am assuming you accept that premise at this point in time given their size differences) and why?

Digital Ocean seemed to execute better and scale further, you put forth it was simply fueled by VC money. I know Linode had some major security incidents over the years which have harmed its reputation.

Curious if you're willing to share your thoughts on how it all played out for an industry observer?
