Full root access is absolutely essential. The freedom and control it provides are truly unmatched. LightNode completely meet the requirements of power users like myself.

This is the scam company, the server is not as same as the advertisement

We ordered the bluestack server but we can not use the bluestack on the server, I try to contact the support for fixing and refund but no one cares us and no one replies us. They do not refund as well. We already sent the refund request 2 weeks but they do not address it.

Worst customer service ever.

Worst customer service ever.
While requesting a quote for hosting capabilities, I got the answer "The price is too high. Do you really need to know it?"

HORRIBLE, JUST HORRIBLE

Without any notification, they (!) deleted 2 my already working VPS because of (!) "out of capacity". I'm just speaking to the void in the support, they even didn't care to train their bot to react to "alive person needed", you can just select an option in the chat and that's all.

Being a CTO of a startup, and being a developer for over a 15 years, ordering all kinds of hosting, VPS, dedicated, GPU etc. all the time, with all my confidence I can assure you that Lightnode is truly unique, I was never treated as absolutely nothing never before.

For all new clients considering Lightnode I strongly recommend to do not even look this way.

All existing Lightnode clients I urge to IMMEDIATELY change your provider because your business is in danger, you can just wake up next morning with your servers gone.

The service is good.

The service is good.

Now we have 3 VMs in México, 'cause we use it for VPN Wireguard tunnels for a dedicated servers under cg-nat.

The ping is the best ever tested comparated with another VM providers in México. But, the network speed is low, they only give 100 Mbps and the max of 1 IPv4 Address per instance.

VPS speed and support horrible

Bought a VPS, and the port/internet speed is 2 Mbps? The slowest VPS I had in my life.
Have been waiting for a support answer for 3-4 days, but they don't even care to reply regarding the speed issue.
The best you can do, obviously, is to stay away from LightNode.

Anyone looking for a reliable VPS provider that balances performance, and price, LightNode is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Scammer company - avoid

Setting up account. Added credits. Built VPS only for them to disable services and block account with no notification a day later.

Customer support is non responsive with no ability to get a refund.

Do not use this if you have sensitive job…

Do not use this if you have sensitive job. They easily freeze your account without telling why!!! without notice! and when I want to find why, I can not even login to my account! I emailed to them, I send support to online chat, but your time is not important to them.

I've been using LightNode for a couple…

I've been using LightNode for a couple of months now, and overall, I'm pretty satisfied. One of the main reasons I chose them was because they offer VPS locations in Dhaka, which is extremely rare among global providers. As someone based in Bangladesh, that local option really makes a difference in terms of latency and speed.

Setting up the VPS was very fast—just a couple of minutes—and the control panel is clean and easy to navigate. Their pay-as-you-go (hourly billing) is also super useful when you’re running temporary projects or testing different setups.

Performance-wise, the server has been stable. I use it mainly for hosting small websites and running scripts, and it’s handled everything smoothly so far. The SSD storage and NVMe speed are noticeable when working with larger files.

The only downside I've experienced is the customer support. They’re not very responsive. It usually takes a while to get a reply, and the answers can feel generic. Also, the network speed is capped at 100 Mbps, which is okay for many tasks but might be a limitation for heavy traffic or media-heavy apps.

Overall, LightNode is a great choice if you need VPS in specific regions like Dhaka, and you want flexible billing and fast deployment. Just be ready to wait a bit if you ever need help from support.
