Dedicated CPU Compute · $197.1/mo (16 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 320 GB NVMe, 6000 GB transfer)
The Linode G8 Dedicated 16x8 is a premium dedicated-CPU instance at $197.10/mo, but it faces stiff competition from much cheaper shared-vCPU and entry-level dedicated alternatives that deliver similar or better raw specs at a fraction of the cost. Unless you specifically need guaranteed CPU resources, several alternatives offer dramatically better value.
Matches Linode's 8 vCPU and 6TB transfer allowance, adds 12GB RAM (vs 16GB), 240GB SSD storage, and unmanaged support at 1/8th the price.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is substantially higher; unmanaged by default (add $10-25/mo for management); SLA undefined.
Delivers 16GB RAM (matching Linode), 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, and weekly backups at 93% discount on intro pricing.
Caveat: Intro rate only; renewal jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); requires 12-48 month prepay for lowest price; weekly (not daily) backups.
Exactly matches Linode's 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU, adds 240GB NVMe storage and 99.99% SLA at 87% savings.

Offers 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, and 20TB transfer (3.3x Linode's allowance) at 95% discount; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Only 4 vCPU and 8GB RAM vs Linode's 8 vCPU and 16GB; traffic overages billed per GB in non-EU regions; prices exclude VAT.
