Hates money and customers I'd love to not have to rent Amazon web services, but Linode just hates money and new customers. Literally impossible to create an account there. The 'blindfolded shotgun' method on cancelling sign ups is not a standardized security measure, if you didn't know, Linode.

Canceled my account due to budget… Canceled my account due to budget reasons and I try to remake my account i fill everything out and then they cancelled my account setup and for that reason I'd saggiest you just run your own home labs without using linode

Can't contact them or call them or even sign in "A recently created account with this email address was canceled by our automated systems. This was due to activity or patterns associated with fraudulent behavior. Additional attempts to sign up may also be rejected." This is what they told me after I tried to make an account. I tried to fill in everything correctly and did everything as they said, only to be terminated right after. When mailing them I got no response and calling them didnt work because they hang up immediately. Can't seem to contact them anywhere :/ :/ :/

Cost Rising, Slow Support Times While linode is a alright host, it has its issues and a lot of them. They used to offer MongoDB Hosting, however stopped after no update to the community. Costs have also risen, while other competitors have lower costs. Support is also very slow, and it takes days for support to finally reach out.

Overpriced and underperforming Overpriced and underperforming I used Linode as my first hosting provider ever, I thought it was good, it was not. Back then I didn't realize how overpriced and underperforming Linode was. The support wasn't bad, so that's why it's a 2-star instead of a 1-star review. Overall, don't waste your money on Linode unless you want to shove money into something that gives you no value for your buck.
