Linode merchants may not be widely used in recent years. The main reason is that the site building market is not so optimistic. The early site groups and foreign trade websites have begun to operate accurately, and do not need too many servers. Of course, it also includes the sharp increase of host merchants in recent years, and the fierce price competition, including Vultr and DO, whose product models are highly similar to that of Linode, which really attracts some users who originally used Linode.
One of the reasons why Linode is not widely used also includes that newly registered accounts can only be activated by credit card payment, and most students and ordinary netizens may not have dual currency credit cards, or feel that credit card consumption is not safe enough. Of course, there are not many advantages on the line. In the early years, Tokyo 1 (commonly known as JP1) did have advantages in speed and stability. Today, only JP2 Tokyo 2 Asian computer rooms can be selected, but the actual speed gap is large.
A few days ago, we saw a new exclusive CPU solution for Linde merchants. The CPU can run 100% at any time without restriction. Many people may not understand this problem. In fact, most of the VPS host CPUs I use are limited, but they are not marked. For example, we know that Alibaba Cloud T5 server is 10%. It is not marked, but if we use resources for a long time, we will be restricted or suspended.
A few days ago, a netizen asked Linode Toyo2 how fast it is and whether it can be used. In fact, Lao Zuo usually uses the Fremont machine room for testing programs and writing demos. For the JP2 machine room, it has been tested before that the telecom can still be used in the daytime, but the delay at night is too large, so he has never actually used it. Today is a good time to open a test machine.
First, Linode configuration scheme introduction
1. Shared CPU scheme
The monthly payment of the shared CPU scheme is as low as $5. The cost performance ratio is good when starting with 1GB of memory. In his early years, Lao Zuo remembered that the 512MB memory configuration scheme was $19.99 per month.
2. Exclusive CPU scheme
The minimum monthly payment for the exclusive CPU solution is $30, starting with 4GB of memory. It is suitable for projects that need to occupy resources for a long time. In this article, I still open the basic scheme of sharing 1GB for five dollars a month. (Reference: Linode VPS - the most stable and cost-effective VPS provider ）
Second, PING speed test
It can be seen from the PING data that the speed is not particularly good.
In fact, I am testing in the daytime now. If I see the telecom timeout at night, it is also large.
Third, route tracking backhaul record
1. Unicom node
2. Telecommunication node
3. Move Node
Fourth, configuration and IO
CPU model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v4 @ 2.30GHz Number of CPU cores: one CPU frequency: 2299.996 MHz Total hard disk size: 25.5 GB (3.7 GB Used) Total memory size: 985 MB (112 MB Used) SWAP size: 255 MB (5 MB Used) Startup duration: 0 days, 0 hour 43 min System load: 2.00, 1.65, one point two five System: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS framework: x86_64 (64 Bit) Kernel: 4.15.0-43-generic Virtualization platform: kvm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hard disk I/O (first test): 130 MB/s Hard disk I/O (second test): 277 MB/s Hard disk I/O (third test): 238 MB/s
Fifth, node download speed
Node name IP address download speed delay CacheFly 204.93.150.152 65.2MB/s ms Linode, Tokyo, JP 2400:8900::4b 76.6MB/s 4.441 ms Linode, Singapore, SG 2400:8901::4b 14.3MB/s 69.770 ms Linode, London, UK 2a01:7e00::4b 4.18MB/s 235.650 ms Linode, Frankfurt, DE 2a01:7e01::4b 3.65MB/s 251.895 ms Linode, Fremont, CA 2600:3c01::4b 14.2MB/s 101.832 ms Softlayer, Dallas, TX 2607:f0d0:1101:4::28.33MB/s 141.652 ms Softlayer, Seattle, WA 2607:f0d0:2001:3::23.42MB/s 83.711 ms
In conclusion, Mr. Zuo spent a little time to test the Linode Japan 2 computer room mentioned by a netizen a few days ago. If we have used the JP1 computer room, we should know that the performance and speed are really good. Now JP2 people do not recommend choosing. If our business is in Japan, it can be used. If it is in Chinese, it is recommended to choose Fremont computer room.
