博客林节点即时激活

即时激活

几年前,当Linode还未成熟时,所有新注册的用户都是即时激活的。 每个人都喜欢它,生活很美好--直到我们意识到,有些人不是最诚实的,他们喜欢使用偷来的信用卡信息,骗取人们的钱财,并利用资源做一些令人讨厌的事情。 于是,开始了手动审查所有注册的时代。 至少有一个人,甚至可能有更多的人,在我们多年来收到的成千上万的签名中查看了每一个签名。

我们已经把它变成了Linode办公室的竞争--谁的激活次数最多,谁的平均激活延迟时间最短(你认为谁会赢?)--但是当我们因为某人对Linode的紧急需求而失去一个账户时,或者当一个合法的注册者在队列中等待审查时,这仍然是一个阻力。

因此,我们想出了一个办法,让那些合法的注册者(基于我们特殊的秘密标准)立即收到他们的账户激活,而那些更有问题的注册者则进入我们的审查队列。

结合完全重新设计的注册系统,它更简单,更容易使用,你有一个快乐的Linode团队的构成。

    That’s great to hear.

    Any word about what you might be cooking up as a Christmas gift to use current and potential customers.

    We haven’t seen a RAM increase in quite some time, that would be my vote or going to the new Six-Core Intel servers 🙂

    A typo on the signup form: CVV should be CVC (“Card Security Code”).

    @Cliff: CVV (Card Verification Value) I’m not sure which is the most used, but there seems to be several abbreviations for the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_Security_Code

    Big fan of the new form design and large input boxes. Well done.

    @tsaro: Ah — I didn’t know that. FWIW I’ve only seen it referred to as CVC during my too frequent credit card use on the web. Hence the “typo” comment.

    I’m not a linode customer; just saw the signup page, and I have to say I couldn’t find any anti-spam or anti-fraud detection method.

    black magic, eh…

    Must be working well, as I’m a brand new customer, and didn’t notice that the process wasn’t completely automated.

    I don’t know what system you guys use to deny people service although it must be better than the rest cause other VPS providers have denied me service. I admit that my intent often is perceived to be nefarious. However- real hackers would wouldn’t ever think so. Having said that I respect Linode for not having denied me instant access or using IP address schemes as criteria for instant acceptance (or other absurd things you can easily work around). I’m glad to know Linode isn’t just another service provider. It clearly isn’t just another job/owner/corporation.

    Well I actually am still waiting to login now, received “receipt” 1.5 hours ago, and had to wait .5 hours from sign-up to get that, still cannot login.
    Called number listed on website (609) 593-7103 just now, no answer went to answering machine.
    Got to say this is not building my confidence in you guys, I am trying to move a bunch domains off slowdaddy, and was very excited to signup, spent a lot of time debating between you and slicehost, and now I am seriously having second thoughts.

    I’m in asia so it the begining of my day now.
    I’ll be waiting…

    Hi Matthew,

    Just wanted to give you my vote of confidence for Linode. I’ve used SliceHost and Linode, and while they’re both good I much prefer Linode.

    My own activation was indeed instant, but I’m about the most “verifiable” person that ever lived – if you’re in Asia, they may be taking some additional verification steps. I work in web hosting and unfortunately about 95% of our fraud attempts come from Asia, so it’s probably similar for Linode.

    Cheers,
    –Chris
