I just sign up with Linode as I'm planning to move from Vultr (1GB plan), here's freevps bench result: Should I move to Linode?
you're lucky to have 3.6Ghz vultr so performance would be better but 99.999999% of vultr new VPS are 2.4Ghz cpus so slower see Benchmarks - DigitalOcean vs Linode vs Vultr vs Dediserve - London vs Singapore VPS benchmarks | Centmin Mod Community up to you really
What I've seen on your result are: Vultr: Much faster CPU Very slow SSD Speed Old kernel Linode: Slower CPU Much faster SSD Latest kernel
It's Chicago instance, deployed a month ago. I got it after 3-5 times deploying 2.5Ghz instances. So, there's no 3.0++ GHz CPU on new Linode instance?
Thanks Roldan, Vultr is cheaper too, only $8/m vs $10/m. I'm running wordpress site, and CPU is more important. Am I right?
FYI, Vultr 20% off deal ends for existing Vultr customers on Jan 1, 2016 so price goes back to $10/m for new VPS instances
Yes, I wouldn't destroy this beast, and keep the 20% off deal forever. Will my Linode account balance expired when not used. I have $15 ($5 deposit + $10 credit).
don't believe there is an expiry on Linode balance. I'd submit a support ticket and ask - also you can test out their support response time
hehe past 2 days tried 15 times to deploy Vultr instances and all 2.4Ghz cpus no 3.4+ Ghz in sight heh
I had to always convert my linode to KVM after provisioning. Mine defaults to Xen still. Is there a settting there that makes KVM as default?
I currently have 7 VM's on Vultr with 3.4 CPU's - I guess I took them all lol! Is there a Cloud Provider that provides everything high end? CPU, SSD, Updated Kernal...ect..
haha that explains it hehe If there is let me know ! Top of my head, Amazon EC2 high end instances sort of do EC2 Instance Types – Amazon Web Services (AWS) if you don't mind paying though your nose $$$ wise in terms of bandwidth costs and high hourly costs. Intel Xeon E5-2666v3 specially made processors for Amazon EC2 which are clocked at 2.9Ghz and burst to 3.5Ghz and have 18 cpu cores + 18 cpu threads = 36 cpu threads per cpu. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2666v3 = 72 cpu threads total Amazon's new EC2 compute instances run on SECRET INTEL CHIPS • The Register This is in comparison to Linode now sporting Xeon E5-2680v3 2.5Ghz burst to 3.3Ghz for 12 core + 12 thread = 24 cpu threads per cpu. these are just EC2 C4 instance prices excluding bandwidth costs !
So given the information above from @eva2000 regarding processor speeds - Linode -vs- Amazon EC2, which would you go with for the best possible performance ( overall ) ? I would LOVE to create a cloud instance knowing it was going to be a guaranteed 3.4GHz CPU's with super fast disk I/O speeds but we can't have our cake and eat it to! lol! Would you choose Linode over Vultr based on performance benchmarks conducted and overall performance?
Linode for me best balance of cpu processor performance, disk I/O, network connectivity, wide geographic location availability, snapshot/scalability/backups and price oh and FYI, Linode pools bandwidth So if you have 4GB Linode VPS with 4TB and add a 2nd 4GB Linode VPS, either VPS can use up to total 4+4 = 8TB of bandwidth. 4GB Linode is best bang for your buck in terms of cost per CPU core and bandwidth. So if you have 4GB Linode and need 8TB bandwidth, just spin up 2x 1GB $10/m = 2x10 = $20/month instances to prop up your bandwidth pool to 4+2+2 = 8TB for $40 + $20 = $60/month Pricing table at VPS Provider Comparison Tables | Centmin Mod Community Linode Pricing Plans Web Host CPU Cores Memory SSD Disk Bandwidth Network In Network Out Price /hr Price /month Linode 1 1GB 24GB 2TB 40Gbps 125Mbps $.015/hr ($10/m) Linode 2 2GB 48GB 3TB 40Gbps 250Mbps $.03/hr ($20/m) Linode 4 4GB 96GB 4TB 40Gbps 500Mbps $.06/hr ($40/m) Linode 6 8GB 192GB 8TB 40Gbps 1000Mbps $.12/hr ($80/m) Linode 8 16GB 384GB 16TB 40Gbps 2000Mbps $.24/hr ($160/m) Linode 12 32GB 768GB 20TB 40Gbps 4000Mbps $.48/hr ($320/m) Linode 16 48GB 1152GB 20TB 40Gbps 6000Mbps $.72/hr ($480/m) Linode 20 64GB 1536GB 20TB 40Gbps 8000Mbps $.96/hr ($640/m) Linode 20 96GB 1920GB 20TB 40Gbps 10000Mbps $1.44/hr ($960/m) and ample disk space !
EC2 bandwidth and instance price is too high EC2 bandwidth Code: Data Transfer OUT From Amazon EC2 To Internet First 1 GB / month $0.00 per GB Up to 10 TB / month $0.09 per GB Next 40 TB / month $0.085 per GB Next 100 TB / month $0.07 per GB Next 350 TB / month $0.05 per GB just 4TB of bandwidth on EC2 = 3999x .09 = $359.91/month or (4x1024)-1x0.09 = $368.55/month on top of EC2 C4 4 cpu core instance at $0.22/hr = $158.40/month = up to $526.95/month vs Linode 4GB VPS at $40/month heh
