Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Linode for a long time and have always been happy with their service. The performance is solid, and their tech support has been great whenever I’ve needed help. However, I’ve started to feel the pinch with their pricing—it’s definitely on the expensive side.

Recently, I decided to try out Hostinger’s VPS offering to spin up a Bluesky PDS and see how it compares. So far, I’ve had a good experience with their tech support as well, but I’m curious about the bigger picture.

Has anyone here used both Linode and Hostinger VPS? If so, how do they compare in terms of:

  • Performance (CPU, RAM, disk speed, etc.)
  • Uptime and reliability
  • Ease of use (control panel, setup, etc.)
  • Value for money

I’m especially curious about how Hostinger manages to charge so much less than Linode. Is there a catch, or is it just a different business model? If you’ve used both, do you think Hostinger is a better option overall, or is Linode worth the extra cost?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Thanks in advance!

    Which provider did you use? Also, Hetzner costs the same but with 8GB RAM.

        Netcup’s website didn’t give IP information for any of their sites, that I could find. Are the IP ranges on many of the black lists?

              Right. Not in my case anyhow, my blog is even a top ten search result for a specific topic.

              FWIW every user gets a unique IP address.

              It would be the nice thing to do to inform those keeping up these blacklists whenever the owner changes. Maybe they do. Or maybe they’ll do it on your behalf if you ask.
