Just now, Lao Zuo saw some netizens in the group mention the purchase of cloud servers from a Linode merchant. Lao Zuo still knows a lot about this merchant. Since 512MB of memory had to be sold for $20 a month in the early years, people had to ask for help to buy it. So far, the merchants have not opened Paypal and Alipay, and they still need credit cards to recharge and pay. It seems that their recharge account has been slightly relaxed and can be supported by PAYPAL.
In the group, I saw that when they asked someone to purchase services on behalf of Linode before chatting about online friends, the user of the purchase service could not log in to the panel due to the deletion of his sub account in private, resulting in the loss of his website data after no backup. In fact, sometimes it may be because the purchaser forgets it or it may be because it intentionally does it. In this case, we need to pay attention to some problems when we find someone to purchase other servers on behalf of Linode.
First, choose friends
After all, some of our friends really don't have credit cards. If you really need to choose Linde or other service providers, you can find someone to buy them. There are also many high-quality agents on a certain treasure. Or find friends and netizens to pay for the purchase. Be sure to find reliable friends. After all, the data on the website is quite important.
Second, pay attention to safety during regular backup
Even if we don't ask someone to buy it or buy it ourselves, you need to back up data regularly. If our data update is not too large, we should back up regularly. If the update is large, we need to synchronize or set a scheduled backup every day. For this, we can use some technologies to back up to other servers or drag them locally.

Third, choose appropriate alternatives
Lao Zuo also mentioned in the group that if you find a suitable friend, you can buy for you. If you really don't trust, even some friends don't trust that the data is stolen by the purchasing agent. Then we can choose a suitable substitute to buy by ourselves. After all, the number of cloud server vendors is the largest at present. Are you worried about finding suitable vendors?
This is just the topic that Laozuo saw in the group that some netizens mentioned about the purchase of linode. It's just sorted out here.
