Alternatives to Linode Dedicated CPU: 4GB RAM, 2 Cores

Linode offers a wide selection of VPSs with dedicated CPU cores from data centers in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. All of these services have the peculiar Linode characteristic of being tremendously overpriced regardless of the costs of network peering, electricity, wages and the red tape in the country and data center they operate from. Let's analyze the cheapest of their compute-optimized plans, which has 2 dedicated CPU cores which are not shared with other tenants on the host machine, and are pinned to the hardware cores for maximum performance with computational workloads. Its configuration follows:

Linode 4GB, 2CPU (dedicated cores)

  • CPU vCores:2
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Storage: 80 GB SSD
  • Bandwidth: 4 TB/month
  • IPv4:
  • IPv6:
  • Location: Worldwide
Price: $36.00/month

This VPS is billed monthly and its price remains constant across all the locations in which it is offered, so that Singapore—one of the most expensive locations on Earth for data centers—ends up having the same price tag for the state of Washington, for the sake of harmonizing the prices of their inventory. Compare this to some contrasting alternatives currently found in our database, shown under here; you can search for more VPSs using the form on the sidebar. All results are dynamically generated from the database. Note that the monthly prices displayed below were obtained by dividing the annual prices by 12 and service providers may not offer monthly billing terms. For compute-intensive jobs, the AMD Ryzen and Epyc CPUs frequently score higher in benchmark tests than the Intel Xeons, so I recommend avoiding Intel if you need maximum per-core performance.
