More t 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 Less	Best I've used Robert Evinger, May 24, 2022 10 I've been running a personal and business website for myself and wife for over 20 years. Tried a number of providers and switched to Linode about 3 years ago. Best price and stability than prior providers I've used. I'm using... More a Nanode as all my sites are low volume. If you are comfortable with Linux administration its a good deal. Less
Latest negative review	AWS Free Tier Scam - bekir cuneyt bayraktar, Sep. 3, 2022 2.0 AWS Free Tier Scam, No wonder how Jeff Bezos is getting richer and richer, by scamming people with AMAZON Web services. Actually not just AWS, I believe all amazon services are SCAM. First they are sending emails to "Try out ... More AWS with free tier" services. All was i did tried launching 2 instances via Terraform Cloud for my study. And next month i got charged 8.50 SGD to my account, (I didn't even use the instances after launch. But Don't worry Amazon, you can only fool people once. Less	Misleading regarding traffic usage Sergio M, Aug. 29, 2022 2.0 Users must be very careful regarding how overall traffic usage is prorated. I lost $68 as consequence of the confusing and misleading explanation regarding traffic usage and no warning at all after closing my account. A theft

Winner: Linode

Bruno Mirchevski Hosting Expert

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.
