That sucks, I've never actually canceled my account with them, but I have deleted my nodes and got refunded the remaining money with no problems. Maybe it's a bug on their end? Did you delete the node before canceling your account?
Sucks big time, but I have never had, nor heard of too much problems with Linode. They're a pretty solid company.
- ghc 15y agoCan you imagine what would happen if linode failed on deleting nodes? Nobody would trust them with their business. I suspect that the cancellation process is much more untested.
- joshmanders 15y agoI don't know if I'd NOT trust them because of a node didn't delete for me. I'd just email support and let them know instead of the whole "zomg, my node didn't delete! I'm leaving this crappy host!"
- ghc 15y agoI think you're not considering that some businesses regularly use the API to spin up new nodes and then shut them down to handle shifting load. I wouldn't know if a node didn't delete until I got billed for it.
- joshmanders 15y agoThat's true. I do everything from the manager. Maybe write a checker that makes sure the node is actually deleted, and if not try deleting it again, or even notifies you it failed to delete?
