LinodeReviews of linode.com

Very poor reliability, lack of technical expertise, poor customer service. I have been a customer of Linode's for over 10 years, and for a long time was very happy with their service. But in the last few months (mid 2020) I have been experiencing unacceptable amounts of downtime (from periods of minutes to hours) due to network problems in one of Linode's datacenters, and have had additional downtime due to large amounts of "emergency maintenance" on my servers and Linode's network infrastructure. This has exposed two things. Firstly that they are technically out of their depth - after months they have still not solved the infrastructure problems in the datacenter. Secondly it has exposed how weak their customer service system is, and how poor their communication is. All they are interested in is trying to cover up their own incompetence, which has wasted a lot of time for me. The trust and confidence built up over 10+ years has been completely and irrevocably wiped out for me by my experience in the last few months, and on the back of that Linode deserve a one star review.

The performance of their VPS servers is a joke. Even if you use 64GB dedicated CPU plan, it's absolutely garbage compared to Vultr, DigitalOcean. Run some GeekBench and you wil know that. Just avoid this sh**

Facilitates Anonymous attacks on people! Morally bankrupt company that allows its services to be used to stage anonymous attacks on private individuals and small family businesses. I was a victim of their unethical business practices and have had many attacks originating from their client. They refused to respond to my complaint for a month. Their final answer was call the police if you don't like it. Absolutely disgusting company that is not to be trusted and should be avoided at all costs

Linode permits SPAM to be sent over it's network and does nothing to stop it. Please be responsible and stop it. And resolve the mentioned issue with soumispam.net

I don't want to say its scam but their action so far led me to reach the conclusion that this company is scam. I registed last week and interestingly, after I complete the payment, I am unable to login to my account. Password reset doesn't work. Contacted support and no reply even until now. To put it simple: They took my money. They lockdown my account. They provide no support. It sucks.

Permits SPAM to be sent over it's network and does nothing to stop it. As an ISP we have today blocked ALL traffic from Linode for this reason

I bought a linode server for $ 10 to run voice server and suddenly got a message that my server was in a DDoS attack where I quickly got formatted everything. and changed all the passwords, and then I voice server again , 14 days after I get a bill for $ 140 because of the attacks which i am in no way a part of. and they can not tell me anything other than it is because of the attack i got the charge for $ 140 .. so if you want to lose all your money , you must sign up here . otherwise stay away
