LinodeReviews of linode.com

Havent used this service for very long and I found it from a sponsor from a tech YouTuber whos promo code gave me £100 creddit for free so my review may be a tad biased but I genuinly love everything about this hosting service. Their prices are reasonable and are reasonable for developers like myself who currently only create applications as a hobby. As well as this setting up a server and interacting with it is easy to do and doesnt limit you on certain aspects like other hosting services.

Well documented API, reasonable prices, great control panel and great support who responds fast and does what they can to help professionally. Wouldn't expect that from a company of this size.

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.

Overall they offer a great service, I am testing their VPS with dedicated CPU, it is fast and reliable. Their network speed is insanely fast, and they don't limit you when you get traffic spikes (like other providers do unfortunately), I ran an Ookla SpeedTest and it shown 5 Gbps download and 4 Gbps upload. So network hardly has any limits. Another thing I like is that they don't allow their customers to be pushed around by abusive complaints, that is how it should be. When someone makes a complaint, they only give course if the initiator has proper documents and complies to all laws. Other provides simply disable your account if complaints were received (valid or not), which is absurd. They only problem I had was that, by default it didn't provide enough protection against unauthorized logins to my account. A confirmation link by email would be nice when new device logs in. I recommend everyone to enable 2 factor authentication. I personally would need ~50% more monthly total traffic but this is OK too.

Have used Linode for 2 years. They are cheap and have a good range of VPS locations. API is easy to use. Bandwidth is excellent, was running a Litecoin + Bitcoin full node with no issues on a $10 a month instance. I love that they have Arch Linux available too

We have been using linode for almost 1 year now, their support and uptime is very good.
