This hosting is convenient, stable, inexpensive.
We used not for a long time and did not contact the support.

Linode is one of the best VPS providers. Great speed, great stability, good prices and easy to use control panel. You can deploy your desired Linux distribution on your VPS in no time. They offer backups, security and many more features. But they don't offer shared hosting, only VPS and dedicated servers, that is why this company is more oriented to more experienced users.

Linode is one of the best choices if you need VPS ( virtual private server, a Virtual machine)
It is fast enough, very stable, inexpensive and and has intuitive user interface.
You can easily install most linux distros. There is no shared hosting available, just VPS. That is downside for inexpirienced users who don't want to manage manage server with root access.
They offer good load balancers, backups, networking and much more.

Linode is among the best hosting providers that I have been using for a long time and I'm still using it to host my personal sites as well as to host my clients' sites. You can easily deploy a VPS and the pricing starts at just $5 a month. If you are a non-techie user, then you can get their managed hosting too that comes with cPanel control panel.
When it comes to upgrade or downgrade, you can resize your server with just a single click. And if extra storage is needed, you can create a block storage disk to attach to your server. Overall, I'm happy with their speed, reliability and support quality.

Linode is one of the first who started the VPS Hosting with the SSD and in my experience their services are high level ones.VPSes gets provisioned in a single click with one of the most used distros and its ready to be used right away. Linode is a true competitor to DigitalOcean because the service and support is almost the same but here you pay the same price for double of resources.

Linode is much like the digitalocean. If you are looking for Linux hosting I would prefer Linode, digitalocean or AWS. We are using linode for our clients and they never complain of server. Prices are low you can easily start with $5 a month. And the best thing is that prices are monthly instead of pay for the whole year.

Simple, convenient, fast and reliable.
I don't have much to say except that they are great providers. Their prices are more than affordable.
Many add-ons such as Block Storage or NodeBalancers really help you to do the work instead of you.
Managed Service Incident response team is a great service if you are living your website(job).
Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed using Linode. It is not the cheapest, but if you are a Linux box kinda guy, it is fast and furious. The server response times were better than other providers and I never experienced any outages (maybe 1). When they update your node, you receive an email regarding planned downtime.
Good user and billing interface. Simple Billing Options and many different hosting plans to scale up with when working on one project or multiple projects. I would highly recommend Linode to anyone that enjoys using Linux and wants to get busy on the command line.

Linode has been around for almost two decades. Recently they have overhauled their Cloud Manager which is much better and easier for managing servers now. The speed and reliability of their servers and network is just amazing. Their support is fast and helpful with response times in under an hour.

Linode is an established name in the hosting market. Sometimes it has small issues, but overall it is stable and reliable. Unlike some other hosting companies, Linode is oriented towards IT professionals and often referred as more geeky (in a very positive way). Support and knowledge are the main pillars here and they offer professional services (decent ones). The pricing is not cheap, but it is very transparent about what you get in terms of CPU, storage, network performance, which is a rarity. The additional modules they offer are actually useful and it really shows they made this infrastructure for people that can appreciate the real value of their offering.

When I moved from shared hosting to Digital Ocean, I discovered that I didn't have mail services, so I mounted one on my own, I found out that Linode is a very nice option because it has port 25 open by default, you don't find this on lots of hosting services. It has good walkthorughs in documentation, and performance is outstanding. On the cons I'd say that the price is twice as Digital Ocean, it doesn't provide Windows hosting.

Linode is one of most friendly VPSs with great API to create, upgrade, downgrade and destroy virtual servers (linodes) and volumes. They have same prices as Digital Ocean, but offer more performance in storage (SSD based) and CPUs (and when you get a stressed host, you can ask to transfer to other location for free). They have excellent network latency with South America (mainly with Brazil) and Europe East(Portugal, Spain, France, Germany etc) with US linodes servers. The support is best than digital ocean and other similar companies, usually they answer is less than 30 minutes. They do not try to avoid give support even when you have some sysadmin problem, like other overselling vps companies. They offer s3 block storage that is compatible with amazon s3, which help reduce the object storage. They offer two terminals to access the virtual server through browser. The allow e-mail traffic if you ask and they are very strict about marketing and spam traffic. Their API work really well and it is excellent to scale resources when you need (you can upgrade or add more instances). Also you can run pre setup scripts in your instances ait it work really well. They allow you configure thresholds of resource usage if you do not monitoring system, which help you identify some resources problems. The anti DDoS is pretty basic and will null route you with big bandwidth attacks. All servers come with 40TB of output usage, which is good for most purposes. I always recommend Linode when customer need something like Amazon and Google Cloud without pay a lot. They are very transparent when they have infrastructure problems and they provide realistic ETA. Is not common network and hardware failures from my experience. The cost vs benefits (performance and support) for the virtual servers are one of the best of market. Surprisily (due the prices) always the support offered a solution to the host stability problems. I use their services for more than 3 years.

http://wp-dd.comWe checked the site, at the moment of publishing the review, it was located on this hosting.
I have and currently use Linode for my web hosting needs. They provide servers "as is" on which you can deploy your applications and scripts, therefore it is a service more suited for developers as you will require SSH knowkeldge. Their pricing structure is quite reasonable and I think they were one of the first companies to offer servers as is to orindary users. Their support deserves a A+ rating as they are very efficient when answering requests, and at the same time are very courteous when it comes to providing payment extensions - all you have to do is communicate with them and they will more than not honor your request to pay later. They are very reliable and in my opinion one of the best services available; especially if you are a dev.

Linode are awesome! Great support, speeds and reliability.
I also really like their DNS manager. I would say that Linode is more for businesses than hobbyists because if you really want to make the most of what they offer, you do need some technical knowledge.

I’m a sucker for underdog players in any space. That’s what drove me to try Linode and so far, it has been a good journey. It has multiple data centers and its plans have fair prices.The company has great uptime and reliable customer support. You can hardly find a fault in their plans except that its plan run on Linux-only servers.

Check out companies here from the same country, with similar scores and customer numbers.
We highly recommend not to purchase the cheapest hosting package. Usually, they come with a row of issues: the server is often down, the hardware is outdated, lousy and slow support, registration and payment errors, etc.
For your convenience, we have created a tool that can help you to choose the right hosting package for you just by answering a few simple questions.
CMS is a content management system. A lot of hosting providers offer so-called CMS optimized packages. However, this is a marketing trick because most CMSs do not have special software or hosting requirements.
Bulletproof hosting - it’s a type of service that allows to host almost any type of content, even the restricted one (adult content, warez, spam etc). Bulletproof hosting providers do not remove your content in case someone reports an abuse.
Unlimited hosting - refers to companies that provide packages with unlimited disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, databases or email accounts, etc. This is usually a marketing trick but sometimes you can find something worth a try.
Secure hosting - it’s a type of service when the hosting provider is mostly responsible for the security of the user’s account: updates the software installed on their servers, provides an antivirus and malware scanner, firewalls and basic anti-DDoS protection, etc.
DDoS-protected hosting - companies that provide packages that include anti-DDoS protection. These packages are considerably more expensive than regular ones. Nevertheless, they’re totally worth their price because the company will ensure that your website is secured from cyber attacks.
The more comfortable the control panel is, the easier will it be for you to change the website and hosting account settings.
Most hosting providers that are in TOP20 in our rating offer user-friendly control panels, such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. That’s why we recommend to pay attention to other, more important parameters, while choosing a hosting provider.
