tamilsweet – Freelance Web Developer

I logged into Linode Manager after 2 days and immediately noticed that Storage Summary and it showed “You have allocated 75% of the storage towards disk usage”. To be frank I haven’t noticed the text and just saw the bar earlier. My perception was that the disk usage was 75% and I haven’t uploaded anything to the server other than the basic OS files and the WordPress files. I got panicked for a sec. Only then realized that it was usage out of total storage available.

I checked the home page of linode and found that they have increase the Storage size by 33%.

It took me about 2hrs to setup the server, from signin up to linode to transferring and bringing up this site.

Just thought i could list down the steps, so that it could be helpful for someone else and may be to myself later .

I used articles by Victor Kane and Jeff Beeman as a guidance for setting up the server.  (Links to their articles can be found in the references list).

Signup & steps performed in Linode Manager

Signed up for Linode 360. Before signing up searched for coupon code in google but could only get some expired ones .

Immediately after signup, I just logged into the Member’s area or Linode Manager. It asked me to select the geographical location of the server. They have 4 different options

• Newark, NJ, USA
• Atlanta, GA, USA
• Dallas, TX, USA
• Fremont, CA, USA

I selected Fremont, CA, USA, as its closer to India, among the above four.
