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-$21.99/mo with comparable or better storage and bandwidth. Even accounting for Linode's dedicated CPU advantage and hidden costs on competitors, you're paying 7-25x more for similar workloads.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic at less than 4% of Linode's price; shared CPU but sufficient for most non-latency-critical workloads.
Caveat: Price is 24-month prepaid rate; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 99.99% SLA at 5.5% of Linode's cost.
Caveat: Intro pricing requires 36-month prepay; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo; domain and add-ons upsold aggressively; free domain only year one.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps, daily backups included, unlimited traffic, 99.99% SLA at 5.5% of Linode's cost.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free egress after mid-2026; smaller storage than Linode.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU (half Linode's cores but sufficient for many apps), 100GB NVMe, 8TB transfer, weekly backups, 1 Gbps at 5.7% of Linode's cost.
Caveat: Intro rate on 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal at $14.99/mo (70% increase); only 2 vCPU vs Linode's 4; weekly (not daily) backups.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer, DDoS protection, 1 Gbps at 6.5% of Linode's cost; 3-year rate shown but 1-year promo at $5.99/mo also available.
Caveat: Renewal pricing 2-4x higher than intro; lowest intro rates require 24-36 month prepay; domain free only year one.
