"Your recently created account has been denied activation due to activity or patterns associated with fraudulent behavior. Additional attempts to sign up may also be rejected." Oh ok then. I guess you don't want new customers?

I do not recommend. my account was stolen, I wrote about it to support, sending photos of the ID. no response

It's okay. You consider my attempt to create an account at your cloud service a fraudulent attempt. While it's very bad for you, and of course, it is your fault and uncovers your bad system. I do not care because there are many good and better alternatives, too. But why are you considering that and taking that action after taking my credit card information? How can I know you do not leak my credit card information? and how can we know that you are ethical at all? Very bad experience.

nach der Registrierung in Linode wurde von meinem Konto ohne Begründung 17,80 $ USD abgebucht. Darauf hin habe ich Lastschriftmandat für Linode widerrufen und dieser Web Site nicht mehr eingeloggt. Dennoch wurde mir zum 1. Dezember neue Rechnung #28123790 für $ 42.84 zugesendet. Die Werbung mit kostenloser Testversion ist nur da, um Kunde abzuzocken. Ich werde dem Verbraucherschutz hierüber informieren, um derartigen Abzocke zu unterbinden

I was blocked for no reason. I register new account and it was blocked shortly without additional info.

Three words - absolutely terrible support. I have been trying to create an account for a few days and I have been blocked each time with absolutely no reason. I connected my working debit card, I even connected my Paypal account - no change. I wrote to their support to ask what's going on but ... as you'd expect, I got no reply back. I am 100% avoiding this service and their sh**ty support.

I noticed many of the 1-star reviews are due to repeated registration rejections. I had the same issue two years ago, but eventually, I registered using my business entity, and it was approved—even with the same credit card. Let's set aside the registration problem for a moment and address account terminations. For those experiencing this, it's crucial to maintain your apps or clients. Sometimes, a client might host illegal apps or websites, such as gambling sites, or their site might get hacked and turn into a scam or gambling platform. Linode will take action by blocking your server and banning your account in such cases. I've been using Linode for two years, and the server performance has been outstanding. I host 10 WordPress websites and 5 custom apps, and they always perform perfectly. Let's be objective—review the product itself. If your account got rejected, you haven’t experienced how good their product is yet. If your main issue is registration rejection, you might want to try Oracle Cloud. I've been trying to register there for the past two years, even using my business entity, but still got rejected—just saying!
