The support is always responsive and is able to help with all my queries so far with a professional and efficient manner. There is no comparison to other companies, they are the best at customer support and I am satisfied completely with their efforts.

The Linode support team has been amazing from start to finish. In our over 5 years working with them, I've only had to reach out to create a handful of tickets for simple issues. On average I've submitted less than one ticket per year as the service is just that reliable! In the rare occasion I did have to interact with support, they were friendly and helpful and solved my problem immediately.

On the rare occasion support has been needed, it has not been as quick as other providers we have used in the past. However, their price point is much lower so you get what you pay for.

As mentioned before, the thing that I like the most in their service is their customer support and due to that, I like to use Linode as their customer support is very lenient and always ready to help. They always stay ready to provide guidelines and solutions to day to day problems while initializing the server or while using it.

Overall they go above and beyond in helping out where they can. The only issue we have had with them is with regard to spam containing links to websites we host. These emails are not sent by our server, yet when the issue has been communicated with us we are treated as if we are in the wrong instead of spammers utilizing our high-profile status to make their emails look legitimate. We usually have to go back and forth with them in order to resolve the non-issue.

I only needed to contact support once, and that was years ago. The reply was quick and helpful. Linode communicates actively and well in advance when they e.g. need to move my node to a different machine and warn me of the short downtime.

Linode technical support is very friendly & helpful, and goes out of their way to take enough time and sometimes even go more in-depth than expected, for all problems. They usually respond fast. While they can't login to your VPS unless you pay for more support, they do still take time to detail possible problems & solutions to an utmost extent.

They're very friendly and quick to respond. Even when a datacenter we were on got knocked offline a few years ago (Newark), they maintained their composure when we called them wondering what was going on. To be honest, that was a huge plus when you consider we had hosting clients rightfully breathing down our backs wondering the same thing, and our composure itself was being tested.
