Linode – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

Lots to like with them after moving from a competitor. Value pricing and they are way better at batting off fake DMCA notices and take due care to only follow through if it's correct and valid. Other hosts take clearly abusive reports and treat them seriously.

I live in India and have had no issues with their services including deploying servers worldwide. Not sure about what the others are ranting about but my experience was smooth. I have been using their services since years and its all smooth.

Good experience. I have had several linodes over many years and have had no issues with their support or payment handling. The servers have been reliable and downtime has been negligible. My over-all experience is positive and good.

Their support was very responsive and helpful in solving my issue. I am very happy for the options they provide and the excellent customer service that comes with it.

i just got one small vps in singapore, as linode was kinda cheapest and had 1 GB uplink. if you´re renting a bigger vps, then you got a bigger uplink. i also run an openvpn client on that machine. the disadvantage is a long reboot and the expensive traffic. 1 TB is free which is compared to german vps quite low. mostly in germany i got 20-80tb and more. so if you have a bunch of traffic.. it can be pricey. be aware. also in case you get hacked and the server is used as an ddos. so make sure you set the firewall correct to avoid this. i enjoy the backend firewall, where you can be sure your traffic routes intended. as i just use it as a proxy, i set the output just to my backend servers. same as mail to my mailservers. so basically everybody could avoid sending spam, in case of getting hacked. but if you secure your server properly you can avoid this problem. or just set the backend firewall with the ssh ports for your own ip. and change it if needed. i´ve also contacted the support quite often and i must say, they were quite helpful. i was often lucky to have them. e.g. kernel change or other random related linode questions. if you want to make a snapchot, you have to pay for each GB you use. in my case the vps + snapchot isn´t more than 6$ monthly, as my server just has 5GB in use. to be honest the registration was kinda difficult. i´ve tried 3 different credit cards. company and private. germany and abroad. all where rejected. but after i´ve contacted the support manually, they granted access. it´s a good thing to avoid spammers from renting a vps. over all i´m okay with the asian vps. for singapore the price is okay. for germany i have chosen other companies, as they were cheaper and the servers had more power and outgoing traffic. in some regions linode has a local network, which is quite handy if you want to connect multiple servers. for people, who have low traffic.. linode could be an option. if i´m not mistaken and you rent a few linodes, the traffic adds up, so one server could have more than 1 TB while others have less. people who wanted to test linode, they may still have a 100$ trial. make sure before you quit to cancel all servers, images etc. otherwise they may continue charging you.
