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

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

Lots to like Lots to like with them after moving from a competitor. Value pricing and they are way better at batting off fake DMCA notices and take due care to only follow through if it's correct and valid. Other hosts take clearly abusive reports and treat them seriously.

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!

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.
