You referred to Linode's servers as "mediocre" and their customer service as "sub-par". That is certainly "talking down" in my book.

@rds100 I know, but Linode claims in their advertising that customers get 4 Xen instances, how ever that is a hyperthreaded CPU, so you basically are getting 2 instances, 4 threads. Does it matter? He

As far as I've seen (and I had a linode on and of for the past 2 and 1/2 years) they are using the same hardware. Their provider is SoftLayer Technologies, and SoftLayer is always upgrading. All of th

This is not even realistic. Linode is using actual old hardware. At least that is what I keep seeing claimed. I know I am adding nodes every month, so I assume they would too? Or are they shrinkin

Linode might not be a LEB provider, but their hardware sure is low end while they charge high end - premium prices - for their mediocre VPS servers and sub-par customer service.

As for the Linode issue, as a provider and a network administrator I can understand where they are coming from. When you have multiple uplinks and your network infrastructure isn't a single /30 connec

Good thing it isn't. Linode isn't a LEB provider so it would be irrelevant here.

You're pretty much hitting the nail on the head; LEB providers tend to have much more up to date hardware than other providers (Thrust, Virpus, Linode in some cases?) Maybe LEB providers just advertis

For everyone bitching about Linode here, you need to give Zerigo.com a try, then come back and complain :P Those guys are something else, I tell ya...

Thanks for sharing. I knew Linode was quick to null route, but hearing this about their support changes my opinion of them. Nice to hear how great LiquidWeb was in all of it. I would argue that their

it's COMPLETELY under your power and control that some butthurt hackforums skiddie bought some booters and started hitting your Linode back in March.

@Taz_NInjaHawk if you read the second post it goes into how LET's DNS provider is on Linode and we're being adversely affected by it. We're on a dedi in Colo if I remember correctly?

The second one mentions the 24hr null route bullshit. I'm thinking of moving to Cloudflare tbh (for DNS) - still in the process of moving sites off Linode (don't get me started on the 2009 hardware).

Aren't we having the same problem with Linode last time we have ddosed? (Image)

information provided by BuyVM and LiquidWeb as Linode once again were being utterly useless. ColoCrossing extended their arm, and we took it and they helped bail our asses out of the shit-pile that

Where to start? This was meant to be a review, and as it has reach the keyboard has become more of a dossier of events that leads to "Why Linode Sucks" opposed to a straight out rev
