I used Linode in the past for a number of clients, and had no issues. Then, all of a sudden, in the past 6 months or so my clients have been repeatedly hit with attack after attack after attack. Linode "support" blamed us, as if it were our fault and charged us hundreds of dollars in bandwidth overages.
Needless to say, all of my clients now reside on other platforms and are entirely attack-free now and have been since moving off of Linode.
Their service has gone so far downhill.
