Dedicated CPU Compute · $1152/mo (128 GB RAM, 50 vCPU, 2500 GB SSD, 10000 GB transfer)
Linode's $1152/mo Dedicated 128GB plan is significantly overpriced compared to bare-metal and cloud alternatives with matching or superior specs. Hetzner's AX162 dedicated server undercuts it by 83% while delivering comparable CPU/RAM, and several other providers offer 128GB configurations at 27-55% lower cost with better bandwidth allowances or no overage charges.
Bare-metal dedicated server with 128GB RAM, 48 vCPU (vs Linode's 50), and 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo—less than one-sixth Linode's price with superior storage and no per-GB bandwidth overage risk in EU regions.
Caveat: Setup fee of 159 EUR (~$173) applies to R/S variants; VAT not included in listed price; traffic overages charged beyond 20TB EU allowance; recent price increases on CCX line (2.1-2.73x) suggest future hikes possible.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner | Dedicated Root Servers (AX line) · AX162 | $199/mo | 128 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 3840 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting) | Dedicated Servers · Intel Tier 2 | $249/mo | 64 GB RAM, 1000 GB NVMe RAID1 | Visit |
| Bluehost | Dedicated Servers · Premium NVMe 128 | $312.19/mo | 128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3000 GB NVMe SSD |
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe SSD with unmetered bandwidth (no overage charges like Linode's $0.005/GB) and 99.99% SLA for $312/mo—saving $840/month vs Linode.
Caveat: Renewal pricing jumps steeply after intro term; 36-month prepay required for advertised rate; domain and add-ons (SiteLock, backups) are upsell traps; lower vCPU count (32 vs 50) may not suit CPU-intensive workloads.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU AMD EPYC Turin, 2TB NVMe, and unlimited traffic (no bandwidth overage risk) for ~$431/mo—saving $721/month with no hidden per-GB charges.
Caveat: Price listed is effective 24-month prepay rate; shorter 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more; third-party aggregator shows conflicting pricing (EUR249-285/mo); fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB bandwidth, and 100% uptime SLA for $532/mo—$620/month cheaper than Linode with managed support included.
Caveat: Advertised price is promotional (often 50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing is meaningfully higher; bandwidth overages and additional storage billed as add-ons; vCPU count (32 vs 50) is lower.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 1.2TB NVMe, 6TB bandwidth, and cPanel/WHM included for $458/mo—saving $694/month with managed hosting overhead.
Caveat: Medium confidence pricing (third-party sourced); renewal rates reported at 2-3x intro price; dedicated server pricing not published and requires sales call; vCPU count (32 vs 50) is lower; 6TB bandwidth allowance is tighter than Linode's 10TB.
