Support Ticket 17760378 Linode is worthless, and pain in the ass, customer services are ignorants that should be working in !!!!!!! I received 5 emails about: Hello,

BUT AND HERE IS THE BIG BUT ASS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY ARE IDIOTS BYE BYE

Took out hosting with this company as recommended by developers from India. Any emails generated by the server are either blocked or end up in spam with international email providers. Tried this with Microsoft exchange accounts and btinternet. User registration emails are blocked. Tried for several weeks to resolve, seems to be OK if you are in India but UK providers block or treat all emails as spam. Paid for hosting, not likely to get my money back. Now changed to Go daddy and hoping that will be better.

Why would you use a host with such a limited administrative options? Who does it nowadays? Its like a little kids sandbox hosting, where if something goes wrong, you don't even have means of figuring out, what happened. Utter and total S - H - I - T.

And by the way. I would have given them 1 out of 10, but this side does not allow less than 2.

This company hosts websites run by Russian/Ukrainian criminals, such as https://forum.baginya.org. This website has been banned in Belarus and Russia.

When I contacted Linode with a DMCA complaint regarding someone posting my personal information and photos, they did NOTHING. They simply keep feeding me generic emails, continuing to host the website. At one point they denied they are hosting it!

This is the email I got from them!

I then filed an abuse complaint with Cloudflare and they confirmed they are hosting it. They then sent me another generic email:

Hi there,

I hope this finds you well. After further investigation of this matter, it seems that there has been a mistake on our end in regard to your complaint. I was able to verify that the content in question is hosted on our platform. With that being said I have gone ahead and issued a DMCA complaint on your behalf.
