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.

Instant account cancelation when trying… Instant account cancelation when trying to create a new account. Do NOT waste your time with this unprofessional company.

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.

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.

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.
