This company offers you a free trial for you to test out their services... sounds great and all, but what they don't tell you is how much spam you will be receiving from them once you actually sign up for the said trial, and how when the trial ends and you no longer have interest in using their service, they will keep on trying to charge you endlessly, claiming you owe them money for simply using their free trial. It simply makes no sense and seriously just leaves a terrible taste in the customer's mouth. I truly can not recommend this service to anyone because of its nasty, dishonest and spammy nature and behaviour.

Do NOT get this "free trial" Cause im telling you now after your trial and you go on about your life, months later they will contact you saying you owe them money! Now obviously, I didn't reply because I don't owe them anything... couple of weeks after that, they said they were gonna send to "collections" to collect my missing payment... Hm. No. Not happening. Good luck scamming people and all the negative reviews your gonna receive because of this stupid trial STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

The support is great, but there are too many maintenance issues, every other month there is maintenance that requires powering off our servers. Every time there is maintenance they move us from Intel Gold which works OK to a 4 year old AMD CPU which cripples our app performance. It's very frustrating, they really need to update their hardware.

When you see this real comment, let you know that you are right! Do not buy! My website is a photo album website, and there is no nude picture, so it is an anonymous report. If you don't verify what is on the site with the customer, stop your server!

I've never been a customer here. I have heard of their product and services and they seemed sympathetic. However, they started spamming me out of nowhere without any decent explanation. To me this is abuse of personal data and plain old UCE. I don't do business with companies like that.

Linode was contacted about a security issue from one of its users by multiple law enforcement entities and refused to comply. This directly resulted in death threats from the account owner, whom they lied to about the inquiries.

Spammers paradise, if you are a spamming company park your domains here! Here is their reply after showing them a spammer is using their network. After looking into the report that you sent us, we can confirm that this activity did originate from IP addresses on our platform; however, the information you provided is not enough to open an inquiry at this time.

I was a first time customer, and had been thinking about whether or not to use linode, but finally decided to go with linode after watching a youtube tutorial about setup that mentioned linode had a scripting system that made setting up stacks easy. Immediately after entering my payment details my account was locked pending review. Very strange for this to happen having just given them my billing address and credit card information. They decided also to go the extra mile and delete my brand new account for not "meeting criteria". I got an email and amoung the top of the issues it listed as possible causes, it mentions using a VPN. I don't use a VPN, however it did give me a clue as to what the cause could have been, I was on my iPad using cellular at the time when I was signing up during my daily commute. So now we're in the rediculous situation where a company that has a responsive website that adapts itself to look good on mobile, and which gives no indication that it doesn't want sales from mobile customers, immediately bans them when they sign up for thier services (because it wants them to sign up while on a desktop so they can accurately track their ip address I guess?). Any technology company for which a celular iPad (a technology that has been around for a decade) ends up being such a great mystery as to be a showstopper, doesn't give me much faith in the rest of their tech services. So I will stick to digital ocean.
