Shared CPU Compute · $384/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD, 20000 GB transfer)
Linode's $384/mo plan is expensive for its specs and carries significant hidden costs (backups 20-25% extra, bandwidth overages at $0.005/GB). Several providers offer comparable or better hardware at substantially lower entry prices, though most require longer contract commitments and have renewal-price traps of their own.
64GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at less than 30% of Linode's price; no per-GB bandwidth overage charges.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepaid term; 12-month or monthly billing costs significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic could throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
64GB RAM, 12 physical cores, 1024GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, and dedicated (not shared) CPU for 73% less than Linode's shared-CPU plan.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid term pricing; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic.
64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO, 1.92TB NVMe, 20TB transfer included, dedicated hardware for 87% less; no shared-CPU limitations.
Caveat: 79 EUR setup fee (roughly $86) due in 2026; prices exclude VAT; traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 320GB SSD, 20TB transfer for 91% less; shared CPU but strong specs and no bandwidth overage charges within pool.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines (CPX/CCX up 2.4-2.75x in June 2026); traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU allowance.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 460GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection for 88% less; intro price on 3-year term.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x (likely $90-180/mo); 3-year prepay required for this rate; free domain only first year.
