Dedicated CPU Compute · $153.3/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 320 GB NVMe, 6000 GB transfer)
Linode's G8 Dedicated 16x4 at $153.30/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU plans at $5.94-$24.88/mo with comparable or better storage and bandwidth. Even accounting for Linode's dedicated CPU advantage and hidden costs on competitors, you're paying a 6-25x premium for what appears to be overkill for most workloads.
Matches your 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU exactly at 1/12th the price, includes 16TB transfer (vs Linode's 6TB), NVMe storage, and weekly backups; renewal at $28.99/mo is still 5x cheaper than Linode.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term; requires 12/24/48-month prepay to get advertised rate; only weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
Exceeds your specs with 12GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 240GB SSD, and 6TB transfer for 1/6th the price; unmanaged by default but includes full root access.
Caveat: Renewal prices substantially higher; unmanaged by default (add $10-25/mo for management); SLA undefined.
Delivers 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, and 20TB transfer (3.3x Linode's allowance) for 15x less; excellent value for non-dedicated workloads.
Caveat: Shared vCPU (not dedicated); recent large price increases on some lines (CCX/CPX up 2.1-2.75x in June 2026); traffic overages billed per GB in non-EU regions.
Provides 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbps) for 1/13th the price; strong specs at rock-bottom cost.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (renewal 2-6x higher); outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance billed at $0.036-0.018/GB; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.
Offers 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU AMD EPYC, 150GB NVMe, and unlimited traffic for 1/12th the price; 24-month contract locks in rate.
Caveat: Quoted price is 24-month prepaid rate; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; unlimited traffic subject to fair-use throttling; ticket-only support on base tier.
