Last time I provision on linode and do at the same time a created a ubuntu box. I found I had to setup a few additional things in linode. Linode never felt as polished which is fine.
The one thing that made do better was they had a datacenter in my region.
No one mentioned vultr killer $2.50 which is where I would go if I wanted a dev box to play around on.
- smarx007 6y agoI remember something being off in Vultr $2.50 offer which made me stop halfway during sign-up. Had to go to https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/ https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/ again to remind myself: $2.50 VPS does not come with an IPv4 address. At least today they openly mark it and I think 5 years ago you'd only find it after a few clicks.
- voltagex_ 6y agoThis was an advantage to me at the time. My ISP (Internode) had enabled dual-stack v6, and a few of the other options I was looking at on LowEndBox came with a NATed v4 address. Here was Vultr offering an IP I could fully control, even point real domains to! I don't know if this is still the case, but I also got no SSH logspam from bots trying to log in on a v6 host.
