I don't use Linode, but isn't this essentially what you expect when you're using shared hosting on a budget?

If there's an issue with the hardware, they need to migrate the VMs.

Hi, but Linode is not a shared hosting service. It is offers virtual private server services. you can say it is like a kind of VM.

Quite right, but you are sharing the service and hardware with thousands of other users.

You are also sharing hardware in AWS and there hardware issues have less frecuence and much less impact, is a problem in Linode, not in VPS technology, imho.
