Pricing (8/10)
Pricing is one of the factors that can put a lot of people off using Linode, Linode is more expensive than that of other cloud hosting providers, such as DigitalOcean.
More recently, Linode has adopted metered billing; allowing you to pay for the use of computing resources on an hourly basis (capped), which of course is useful to those who like starting up an instance for a few hours/days to test something.
Personally, for me; the price is worth every penny. And I'll explain/show you why below.

DNS Manager
Finnix Recovery Distro
IPv6
Linode API
Linode CLI
Linode Library
