AWS Customer Support Review By someone in this business for 17 years and owns 5 other accounts with Server providers

If anyone ever wants to know the truth and facts about AWS Customer Supports Vs GoDaddy, Hostway, Hosting Source, Google, Apple READ THIS: 7 years no...

w dealing with AWS I cannot explain how many times they have gone beyond what their rules and Regs and policies are to HELP, SUPPORT and maintain whatever it takes for AWS to serve and keep us as a client. They are the NUMBER 1 Company and they already WON Best Customer Support globally as far as I am concerned

ars ago. Best price and stability than prior providers I've used. I'm using a Nanode as all my sites are low volume. If you are comfortable with Linux administration its a good deal.

Arnaque, passez votre chemin!

frais estimés, heureusement je m’en suis aperçu rapidement, j’ai appelé ma banque pour annuler le paiement et la domiciliation. J’ai dû clôturer ma carte de banque et en demander une nouvelle. Je vous conseille de fuir leurs services, d’acheter votre propre mini serveur et de le faire vous même.

Knowledgebase

When people first compare Linode and Amazon Web Services, they assume AWS is going to dominate. While AWS does have a lot to offer, when it comes to high quality cloud based hosting solutions, Linode actually outperforms. They offer high quality phone and live chat support, both of which AWS lacks, and they provide more information about their services. In addition, they are rated better by both HostAdvice experts and actual customers, which is why Linode pulls off a surprise ‘upset’ victory over Amazon Web Services in this comparison.
