I have used Linode recently and in the past. Their servers are always top notch, the dashboard offers amazing features like cloning, images, etc and the out of bound SSH access is just icing on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would want to see a mobile app through which I could manage my Linodes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backup and restore solution that captures the entire VM. Speedy support response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of availability in Tokyo data center. Their DNS takes a while to replicate changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've moved our servers from Liquidweb to Linode exactly one year ago and for 11 months it has been a smooth ride with almost 100% uptime. In December '15 Linode was under several DoS attackes which caused frustration among our customer base. We will be staying with Linode for 2016. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sudden price change from $5 to $10/month. Repetitive DoS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Linode support team is fantastic, they are very responsive and know what they are doing. I've been using Linode for several years and very satisfied.

Great servers and customer servers. The speed improvements over my previous host were incredible and it was about the same price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've never had a negative experience with Linode. Customer service reps are polite and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Linode provides consistent updates and upgrades to your VPS while maintaining the price point. Their service is completely top notch. Any issues will be dealt with promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing used to be monthly instead of usage based, That is why i left, because I wanted to have the drop in costs by only running the server at limited times and being charged for that. Linode has since changed their policy, and does this. I would love to return, but I just haven't had time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is right for a small machine - think hosting a personal website / having just a small instance in the cloud to muck around with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There have been a few bad experiences over the years with downtime - once, the time between Pingdom telling me my webserver isn't responding and Linode acknowledging a hardware issue was 40 minutes. Yuuuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We switched to Linode after our host provider decided to discontinue the VPS business and gave us 45 days notice. So, for us, choosing Linode as our VPS host made perfect sense: (1) have been around over 10+ years, (2) Great support service, (3) Granular product offering, and price-wise, they are very reasonable.
We are a technology company, so we know one or two things about setting up Linux servers, but I have to admist, Linode support documentation was a great resource that I find myself going back to often.
Over the years, I have been in touch with Linode support personnel, and that happens when things are not going right. The support staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, polite and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Linode recent offer to upgrade (double memory) for small Linode VPS excluded us because we are using 32-bit kernel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed at which you can get up and running and the level of support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not as elastic as heroku but much less cost prohibitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
