Except for the fact that the amount of transfer doesn't keep increasing past 2000GB after the 8GB plan, they're not. (If that's what you were referring to, my apologies)
- jules 15y agoThere's that, and that 19.95*2 = 39.90. Sure, it's not much more expensive, but why is one 1024 linode not cheaper than two 512 ones? Surely there is some overhead in running 2 instances on one piece of hardware instead of one. Also, do you get CPU proportional to the RAM? That is, if I get two 512 linodes do I get more or less CPU than with one 1024 linode?
- singlow 15y agoMy understanding is that the 1024 server will be on hardware shared by half as many VPSs as a 512. On both of them you get as much CPU as is available proportioned to each VPS. But with the 1024, you have half as many competitors for that CPU. You also have half as many competitors for IO. Disk space and Ram are the only things that are handed out in fixed quantities.
- jules 15y agoI see. In practice I'd expect the others on a node not to make full use of CPU, so you're getting more CPU for the same money on a 512 (unless they artificially limit it).
- keidian 15y agoThey don't limit it to any extent besides giving you access to 4 cores of the host instead of all of them
