Shared CPU Compute · $768/mo (128 GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 2560 GB SSD, 20000 GB transfer)
Linode's $768/mo plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or better hardware at 70-90% lower cost, though you'll need to watch for contract lock-in and renewal price jumps on some budget options.
128GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 3840GB NVMe for $99/mo - nearly identical specs at 87% less cost with dedicated hardware and no bandwidth overage charges within EU.
Caveat: Setup fee of 79 EUR (~$86) applies; prices exclude VAT; traffic overages charged beyond 20TB EU pool; price is placeholder and unconfirmed.
128GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 1920GB SSD for $166.70/mo (promo rate) - matches your RAM and storage at 78% savings with enterprise-grade Xeon hardware.
Caveat: Promo price of EUR 154.35/mo; renewal jumps to EUR 192.94/mo (23% increase); prices exclude VAT; delivery time 1-5 days.
96GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 720GB NVMe, unlimited traffic for $161.99/mo - saves 79% with guaranteed physical cores and no bandwidth overage risk.
Caveat: 24-month contract required for this rate; 12-month term costs EUR 119/mo (~$129); 1-month term significantly higher; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 960GB NVMe for $90/mo - lowest sticker price with 99.99% SLA and 2TB free outbound transfer before overages.
Caveat: Renewal pricing after contract period is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB.
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 2000GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth for $217.19/mo - 72% cheaper with no bandwidth overage risk and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps significantly after intro term; 36-month commitment required for advertised rate; domain privacy and backups are upsold add-ons.
