No, you totally can, @serverian said so.
I move an 8-core linode to the new 1-core a few days ago. Average CPU usage (shown by the linode panel graphs, measured over two days) went from 0.72% to 0.02%
Sorry, there seems to be a language barrier on my side. What if they say that using 100% CPU is intentional misuse? I see no part of their TOS that gives me the guarantee that I may use 100% of the allocated ressources 24/7.
How good is the network? (Download)
Their ToS basically says it's not okay to use excessive CPU cycles; and one would think that using all of your cores 24x7 certainly does fall into that category.
This is how I understand it too. So where does this myth come from?
Here:
Probably from the fact that it's rare to hear of someone getting kicked from Linode for CPU abuse.
Note the word intentional misuse.
For example, running a high traffic website and consume 95% of processor and thousands of SSD iops on peak hours is not considered a misuse of the node.
But mining coins may be considered an intentional misuse.
I don't believe this statement to be true.
I have a Linode with 4 sites on it, 2 CPU, in longview it is never under 75% CPU use. They have never once raised issue.
Do you know how much Linode and DO will charge for snapshot? According to Vultr support, their estimated pricing will be .02/GB per month. Thanks.
Where is the place to enter that coupon code?
Can someone here explain how they behave now in case of a DoS?

That happened when they were 9 years in business. 9 years of experience and they do not in any way cooperate with you in case of an attack before some bureaucratic 24h waiting time is over? I don't know, that doesn't sound like a good provider to me then.
I don't doubt that their service is stable and fast and such, but it seems like they are pretty overrated.
It's still the same I believe, the bottom line is that if you are likely to encounter DDoS attacks then Linode is probably not your best choice. They are just not the type of service that will spend time checking at your whim to see if the attack has subsided.
Lol I'd trust that rant as far as I could throw Australia.
Nobody likes to attract DDoS attacks, but if it happens you would like to solve it as soon as you can and of course you need support from your provider then. It is just stupid to not cooporate with the client in case of a DDoS, because this can only help everyone in the end. I mean it's good to know after all, because I initially also wanted to order one for myself.
Free a month. Will try it
I agree with this however it's all about understanding the provider and choosing based on your need. Linode are quite clear, get an inbound attack and they null your IP for 24 hours, no exceptions. I rarely hear of issues over at Linode's forums on this issue.
You will know whether you are likely to experience that kind of issue and need to factor it in.
There are plenty of providers out there that will work with you as you require.
