Utter rip off - DO NOT USE Utter rip off. Worse than AWS if that is possible. Suddenly I get charged $50 FOR NOTHING.

I signed up for Linode and had false positive account block I signed up for Linode and had a false positive fraudulent activity notification after signup. I sent and an email and received no response after 2 days. As infuriating as that was I loaded 10 dollars call time and called them, spoke to a lady named Abrose or Amber, cant remember for sure. I recieved curteous and professional service. Just for this, I will choose Linode.

they are gatekeeping their all services they are gatekeeping their all services you can waste time on filling all forms in register step, but you will be instantly rejected for no reason

4 year old hardware The support is great, but there are too many maintenance issues, every other month there is maintenance that requires powering off our servers. Every time there is maintenance they move us from Intel Gold which works OK to a 4 year old AMD CPU which cripples our app performance. It's very frustrating, they really need to update their hardware.

I have servers at Linode even before it… I have servers at Linode even before it was sold to Akamai. My experience of more than 6 years with Linode is excellent. Sure, the support isn't great, but who needs to open a support ticket when everything works fine? What I manage is the performance of the servers. I have a VPS with a dedicated CPU and it's great. SLA 99.99999% and very fast server response. Linode provides top-notch DNS to the world and rich documentation for customers to study. That is all!
