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.

Tech support is good Tech support is good. uptime has been very good apart from 2 wordpress sites which had leaky cron scripts and consumed all ram, resulting in crash. After disabling wp cron it has been much more reliable. pricing is great, though backups @ 20% of server cost is too much. I tried probably 15 - 20 other cloud providers before settling on linode. 6 months in and I'm confident I made the right decision.

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

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
