Why is Linode cheaper than AWS?

AWS is a popular platform for hosting web applications and is often compared to Linode. There are a few reasons why Linode is cheaper than AWS.

First, AWS charges for both usage and usage intensity. Linode does not charge for usage, but does charge for usage intensity.

This means that you pay for the resources used, rather than for the number of resources used.

PRO TIP: Linode is cheaper than AWS because it offers a lower cost per hour of use. However, Linode also offers a smaller selection of instance types, so you may not be able to find the same type of instance that you need on AWS. Additionally, Linode’s cheaper prices may not include some of the same features that are included in AWS’s prices.

Second, AWS charges for storage and usage of storage. Linode does not charge for storage, but does charge for the usage of CPU and memory.

This means that you pay for the resources used, rather than for the amount of time that the resources are used.

Finally, AWS charges for usage of services. Linode does not charge for usage of services, but does charge for the usage of bandwidth and storage.
