Actually, if we discuss the pricing and Service then Pricing is cheap but service is perfect. Most of our clients are using Linode and we always recommend Linode to clients. Our overall experince with Linode is most satisfying. Thank You Linode
Pros
I'm using Linode for the last many years are DevOps and its reliability is awesome. Uptime, Scalability, Speed, and Pricing are very best as compare to their service, which is mind-blowing. I trust Linode and also refer to other companies, who are our clients. I have about 7 running server and all are on Linode. Overall they are the best in case of easiness of dashboard and maintenance.
Cons
Support, Once I face the issue and all of my hosts went down on the Singapore server and I was in the urgent demo so I call them on the India helpline but it's not working. They helo me by ticketing and also give me compensation. The ticketing system is good. All else is very well.

Linode didn't just favor me in anyways. From pricing structure to technical support, it didn't find room for my business.
Pros
There isn't much that impressed me with Linode apart from the fact that it supports cyber panel very well (VPS) and the virtual private servers are easy to install.
Cons
Things I don't like about Linode:-It's exorbitant in terms of pricing-poor client service ( they take anywhere from 1-2 business days to respond to an open ticket)-Poor or almost none reasonable pricing model.-WordPress hosting is slow-High speed servers are available in the dedcated hosting package which are very costful

Linode is an excellent cloud virtual private server provider

We run all our back-end servers on Linode now, rather than maintaining a pair of physical data centers and standing up and supporting an entire virtual server stack such as VMware vSphere. Using Linode has given us considerable cost savings over our previous physical data centers, and has simplified the resources we need to run our technology stack
Pros
Linode provides virtual private servers using SSDs that have excellent performance characteristics for the pricing, it's important that we get the best value for money, and Linode's VPS price performance ratio is far better than its competitors
Cons
Linode is not as well known as the other big guys in this space, so it can be a hard sell to convince an large conservative organization to take a bet on the little guy, given the prevailing "no one ever got fired choosing Microsoft" attitude of some people, so it would be better if Linode was more well known and on equal footing with the big guys
