Latest positive review | 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 | I can set up servers optimised for WordPress (or stack you like) with just a few clicks + the ability to SSH in and use CLI as well. Super fast servers & excellent support! |
Latest negative review | Support Ticket 17760378 Linode is worthless, and pain in the ass, customer services are ignorants that should be working in !!!!!!! I received 5 emails about: Hello, We have received a report of Spam originating from your Lin... More ode. This is most likely the result of a system compromise. If we have not heard from you in 24 hours, we may need to place network restrictions on your Linode to prevent further abuse. In order to consider this resolved we will require the following from you: Information about why this email might have been marked as spam Steps taken to prevent this activity from reoccurring We're here to help provide guidance, but keep in mind that investigating this on your behalf is beyond the scope of our support. Our Community Questions site can offer guidance in resolving this issue. OK no Problem I had to respond to another 5 times Hi there, Since you demonstrate that you do understand the CAN-SPAM Act and you mentioned that all your emails currently follow the rules, we can consider this issue resolved. The network restrictions have been lifted from your Linode and you can resume sending emails. If you have any other questions please let us know otherwise this ticket will automatically close in a few days.
