worst internet.

I’ve been a Linode user for a while, but since September I’ve completely lost access to my account and all related services — without receiving any email or warning beforehand. What’s worse is that I’ve tried multiple times to contact Linode support, but there has been no response or resolution. This level of service is really disappointing and unprofessional, especially for a company that presents itself as developer-friendly and reliable. I received a marketing email recently, which felt ironic considering my account is still inaccessible and no one has addressed my issue. At this point, I cannot recommend Linode to anyone who values stability and customer support. — Mahziyar Azimzadeh

signed up, gave address, credit card details. Told me they were checking my account and it would be activated later. Within an hour got a snotty email telling me ... 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 the worst customer experience I've ever seen or heard of. They can keep their crappy service. And now they have my address and credit card details. Scary. Keep away from these cowboys !!

I don't know why so negative here. Linode remains one of the best and most professional providers out there. Been a customer for over 10 years. Never a hiccup in the service. Their linodes are a bit pricey for the storage, but that's because they're ssd. For cheap storage, I use their object storage which is superb compared to other providers.

I’ve been charged for years for object storage when I took everything out of my storage they still were charging me. My card was expired. It still was charging me. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

Other people writting about this as well. Server been down for 18 hours so far - no end in sight. I wouldn't host with them to save my mothers life. Ruined the repuation of my business I have sent years building.

Today experiencing a 7 hour downtime. Yes it wasn't a typo A 7 HOUR DOWNTIME that keeps on going, avoid like a plague. Edit: Total downtime was 22hours.....

I‘m honestly surprised by the negative feedback on here. While my sign up experience wasn't flawless, the rest is pretty good! We‘ve been a customer of Linode for quite some time now and have never had a bad experience. Our K8s cluster never had a problem. What we really appreciate is the rapid deployment speeds of new nodes, takes maybe 1-2 minutes max with Linode compared to AWS where it can take up to 10 minutes. Billing also works just fine. Would choose Linode any day for managed Kubernetes.
