Dedicated CPU Compute · $6307.2/mo (512 GB RAM, 256 vCPU, 7200 GB NVMe, 12000 GB transfer)
The Linode G8 Dedicated 512x256 at $6307.2/mo is significantly overpriced for its specs. Hetzner's GEX131 offers comparable CPU/RAM at 84% lower cost, though with a smaller NVMe pool and GPU add-on. OVHcloud and Vultr provide more balanced CPU-to-RAM ratios at lower monthly rates, though none perfectly match the 512GB/256vCPU configuration.
Delivers 256GB RAM and 256vCPU (dedicated Xeon) at roughly one-sixth the Linode price, with enterprise NVMe RAID1 and included GPU.
Caveat: NVMe storage is 1920GB vs Linode's 7200GB; setup fees apply; VAT not included; traffic overages charged per GB in non-EU regions; price increases of 2.1x-2.75x occurred in June 2026 on some product lines.
Before you switch
Saves $2102/mo vs Linode with higher RAM (768GB) and 10TB transfer included; 100% network uptime SLA is stronger than Linode's implicit terms.
Caveat: Lower vCPU count (192 vs 256); bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included; no NVMe storage spec provided.
Cuts Linode's cost by 60% with 256GB RAM and 128vCPU; 99.99% SLA and 20 Gbps network are strong; no per-GB bandwidth overages in most regions.
Caveat: Only 128vCPU (half of Linode); 400GB NVMe is much smaller; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress after mid-2026; Windows license surcharge applies if needed.
