The blog mentions that these $10 plans are on the "new" hardware, which, AFAICT, doesn't allow access to shared [unused] cores on the host anymore, so you really do have only 1 core max. FWIW. They're said to be nice speedy cores, though I've never tried one myself.
Anyway, it's nice to see linode finally come down in their price point, thank goodness for competition, they're obviously responding to DO with this move. Unfortunately the $5 DO is good enough for me [SSD makes is so that swap time is less painful if I temporarily max out the RAM] so, alas, will be sticking with DO for now :|
- praxeologist 12y agoHow might the performance of the $5 DO or either of the $10 from Linode/DO compare to what I get from my ~$10 shared hosting? I'm probably going to try a VPS at some point, but was just curious about if I could get rid of the shared and move my sites over too.
- uladzislau 12y agoFrom my experience $5 DO is more robust than most shared plans. However the trade off is that you have to setup and maintain everything yourself including security.
- rogerdpack 12y agoYeah for me my $5 DO beats the heck [for a rails app] out of having to use fcgi and have them constantly shutting down my processes, (in this case--bluehost) disabling my account for having too many files, etc. It is much faster.
