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.

my account was closed after 30 minutes… my account was closed after 30 minutes of signup , and giving my credit card details . I received an email that says : 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. What type of fraud ? seriously ? I was excited to use Linode after reading customer reviews But now , I think I'll keep using AWS

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

Happy Linode user since 2014 I started using Linode in 2014 and am a happy customer to this day. They run about 20 of my servers, hosting my services for a few hundred thousand users. Uptime and support are great. In fact, I decided to write this because I had a very good support experience (fast response with great information) just yesterday. Their object storage is useful, but it could be a little faster. Finally, I think their prices are very competitive. To me, for 9.5 years and counting, they are an excellent provider.

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.
