Linode was acquired by Akamai in early 2022. In many cases this spells doom for the smaller company in terms of service and pricing. It will happen over many years but it will undoubtedly happen.
Note how they don’t compare DO or Vultr in this calculator. This is disingenuous. They are comparing apples and oranges as the large scale cloud providers offer a ton more services as part of their offering beyond compute and storage.
I’m still looking to recommend a cloud provider that offers one click installs of popular packages like discourse and n8n. Most of them still make you do a lot of stuff manually rather than automate the install and update process completely.
