Does a 20-25% cheaper VPS actually mean worse quality or just different pricing?
Currently on Lin͏ode, trying to figure out if switching to something else even makes sense. Came across Serve͏rspace and decided to compare similar configurations. The numbers turned out interesting.
Standard setup (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD): Linode $48/mo, Serverspace $37.51/mo. On a heavier config (16 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, 1280 GB SSD): Linode $384/mo, Serverspace $300.91/mo. The gap is noticeable, especially if you are scaling.
My experience with Linode: Linux-first, everything is predictable, interface is not cluttered. From what I have read about Serverspace: more flexible configuration, 10 minute billing intervals, Windows VPS available as well. Use case is pretty standard: web projects, Docker, PostgreSQL, nothing enterprise.
Question for anyone who has used both: does the price difference actually reflect something in quality or reliability, or is it just a different pricing model? And anything worth watching out for when migrating from Linode?
