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

I cant even sign up I cant even sign up, kept getting rejected by "automated system" for "fraudulent patterns" like what the hell????? I tried paypal credit and debit card and all got rejected, linode is racist just cuz i'm not from the USA doesnt mean i'm a fraud! I sent them support e-mail no response at all. I heard linode was good but looks like it's a scam wont even let me use it

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 :/ :/ :/

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.

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!
