Dedicated CPU Compute · $1182.6/mo (96 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 1920 GB NVMe, 9000 GB transfer)
The Linode G8 Dedicated 96x48 at $1182.60/mo is significantly overpriced compared to bare-metal and cloud alternatives with matching or superior specs. Hetzner's AX162 delivers 33% more RAM and 2x the storage for 83% less, while Contabo and Leaseweb offer comparable dedicated CPU performance at 82-77% discounts. Even managed cloud options like Cloudways undercut Linode by 71% on monthly cost.
Bare-metal dedicated server with 128GB RAM, 48 vCPU, and 3.84TB NVMe storage - exceeds Linode specs across all dimensions at one-sixth the price.
Caveat: Setup fee of 159 EUR (~$173) applies to R/S variants as of 2026; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; prices exclude VAT; recent CCX/CPX price increases suggest future hikes possible.

128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 2TB SSD with unlimited traffic policy at 82% discount; half the vCPU count but double the RAM and no bandwidth overage risk.
Caveat: Price assumes 24-month prepaid contract; shorter terms cost more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.

Caveat: Introductory pricing only; renewal rates spike significantly after initial term; requires 36-month commitment for lowest advertised rate; aggressive upsell tactics at checkout.
