Linode Reviews 204

I don't want to say its scam but their action so far led me to reach the conclusion that this company is scam.

I registed last week and interestingly, after I complete the payment, I am unable to login to my account. Password reset doesn't work. Contacted support and no reply even until now.

To put it simple:
They took my money.
They lockdown my account.
They provide no support.

It sucks.

Have used Linode for 2 years.

They are cheap and have a good range of VPS locations.
API is easy to use.
Bandwidth is excellent, was running a Litecoin + Bitcoin full node with no issues on a $10 a month instance.

I love that they have Arch Linux available too

Permits SPAM to be sent over it's network and does nothing to stop it. As an ISP we have today blocked ALL traffic from Linode for this reason

I signed up for a contract. First awkward surprise: they want me to send passport and credit card copies. Say again? Nobody ever asked me this for a measly 10$/a month.. Second awkward surprise: The link they provided to send my passport copy to, does not accept attachments of 1.1MB... Get your act together! At this point it was time to vote with my feet: walk away.

I have been a costumer for at least 5 years and have actually allways recommended linode over other vps providers.

But I have to say that have changed from this year. There have been to many server migrations where your server is forced over to another server, and the server is not just frozen moved and then unfrozen. No they close your server so it's not in the same state as when before the migration.

And also they have changed so just because you are on a plan where you pay monthly then you don's have access to all there vps tiers.

So everything looks like that the way linode is going now in the long run that is for old costumers, change your account or find another provider

I am using linode for several years now for hosting several websites on self managed servers. Never had a problem that was not resolved within hours. Great provider!

Linode was not bad, we just found it hard to use as IT professionals and a little clunky. This review is from 2014, so things may have changed, but it was not turn-key enough for us and we never got our LXC containers to route through to our MySQL so we killed the eval.

I bought a linode server for $ 10 to run voice server and suddenly got a message that my server was in a DDoS attack where I quickly got formatted everything. and changed all the passwords, and then I voice server again , 14 days after I get a bill for $ 140 because of the attacks which i am in no way a part of. and they can not tell me anything other than it is because of the attack i got the charge for $ 140 .. so if you want to lose all your money , you must sign up here . otherwise stay away

We have been using linode for almost 1 year now, their support and uptime is very good.

Products are continuously updated at no extra charge, support tickets are answered within seconds or minutes, and staff is always helpful.

I would recommend Linode to anyone looking to host a server -- they manage to cram the best services, prices and support into one convenient package.

No reservations.

I have been using Linode for a couple of years - it's one of my best product experiences ever.
A few times I have opened a ticket with the Helpdesk - minutes later they get back to you with a qualified answer.
The Linode servers do what they promise - nothing less.

Submit a support ticket? Get an answer a couple of minutes later.
Need changes for you account? Done a couple of minutes later.

This is outstanding!
