Conclusion
While Linode is cheaper than most other cloud services and provides enterprise-level performance with its Shared CPU plans, they have issues maintaining uptime, and their technical support options are not very responsive.

In summary, Linode is a developer-friendly host offering high-performance services at a low cost. They have powerful performance, easy setup, state-of-the-art hardware, various server options, and a worldwide network of data centers.
However, backups cost extra, no domain registration services are available, and they are not beginner-friendly. It’s worth noting that their money-back guarantee is only valid for 7 days.
