Is Linode managed?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:59 pm

Linode is a cloud hosting company that markets itself as being managed. However, as evidenced by the numerous reviews on the site, many customers do not feel that Linode is managed. In fact, many customers feel that Linode is unresponsive and unhelpful. Some customers report that they have had to contact support multiple times in order to get help, and that the support team is not very knowledgeable.

PRO TIP: Linode is not a managed service, which means that you are responsible for maintaining your own server. This can be a daunting task for inexperienced users, and may result in downtime or data loss if not done properly. If you are not comfortable with managing your own server, we recommend using a managed service such as AWS or Google Cloud.

Additionally, some customers have had issues with their accounts being suspended or cancelled without warning. In conclusion, while Linode may market itself as being managed, many customers do not feel that this is the case.
