Security Considerations
While linode.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Custom Subdomains
linode.com
allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.linode.com". An address like "paypal-secure.linode.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Linode LLC.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
