If we are old users of the Linode VPS host, we should all know that the original minimum scheme was 512MB of memory, and the monthly payment for the non SSD SSD scheme was $19.95. Now, looking back, it's really not so expensive. Due to various possibilities, such as the cost of hardware, market competition, especially in the VPS market in recent years, there have been a lot of merchants. In the early years, we may wait for computers to be purchased for an annual payment of more than $10. Now we can even pay a few dollars a year at any time.
However, Laozuo personally believes that after all, goods are sold for every penny. No matter domestic or foreign merchants, there is no long-term advantage in price competition. If users choose low prices, we cannot blame the merchants for various performance problems, because we choose such prices. Personally, I think that one of the factors for Linode's successive price cuts and configuration adjustments must include the emergence of Vultr, DigitalOcean, and other businesses, and the adjustment caused by the fierce competition.
Among many data centers, when we choose Linde or Vultr merchants, we choose more Tokyo computer rooms in Japan. Lao Zuo has also made a separate evaluation of their Japanese computer rooms before, but after all, there are various uncertainties in different times, locations, and routes, and it is said that there have been various uncertainties in recent times, but Lao Zuo's personal experience is that, In the daytime, it is basically acceptable. At night, there are still some times when the wind blows. Basically, all overseas lines have this problem recently at night.
Lao Zuo has shared documents that may need reference before:
1、 $10 balance discount code and tips for new Linode account
2、 New registered Vultr account free $20-50 balance Vultr discount code sorting and precautions
We are choosing Linode. There may be many projects for building a website. Vultr may be used for testing some projects, because you can customize ISO to install Windows systems（ course ）This advantage is obvious. Here, Lao Zuo spent a little time preparing to compare the configuration and performance experience of the two machines in Tokyo, Japan.
First, comparison of basic hardware configuration
It should be mentioned here that if our new account is Linode and there is no Tokyo option when we open the computer room, we can find an old account with options to purchase PUSH to our account (from last weekend when some users needed PUSH, we found that the official did not give PUSH to them, and it seems that the use of new accounts will be restricted), or we can only purchase and use sub accounts on behalf of others. Just now, Lao Zuo has opened 5 consecutive sets of the phone during the test before one of them has an IP address that can be pinged. If the phone fails to be pinged, you can either find the customer service to replace it, or delete it and reopen it until it can be pinged.
Considering the effect of comparison, I choose the 1GB scheme. Vultr has 768MB of memory, and the monthly payment is $5. Considering the 1GB scheme, it looks better.
Second, hard disk IO read and write test comparison
1. IO performance of Linode hard disk
2. Vultr hard disk IO performance
Third, comparison of network download speed
Although the network download speed can not reflect our users' real-time experience, it is data anyway. So we tested the network download speed with the script released by teddysun a few days ago. The script download location is still comparative. If we have time later, we can find more downloaded files from some merchants to add them.
1. Linode network download speed
2. Vultr network download speed
Fourth, PING speed test
1. Linode speed test
2. Vultr speed test
According to the data on the PING tool, Linode is better than Vultr at present. This is just a data comparison. Lao Zuo is doing a local download file test.
Fifth, local file speed test
Episode: Because you need to install a WEB environment to test the HTTP download file data, the first installed WDCP panel on both machines is the VULTR machine. If neither of the two machines has replaced DNS, it would be better if Linode replaced DNS.
1. Linode download file test
a. Download to local
b. SpeedTest
2. Vultr download file test
a. Download to local
b. SpeedTest
Judging from the speed of downloading files, Linode is quite excellent. No wonder Linode's so-called price is slightly higher. Of course, each merchant has its own advantages. Although Linode supports KVM architecture in Japan and can also install Windows environment through technology, it is convenient for Vultr to customize ISO to install WIN.
To sum up, because of the time problem (this article has been working all morning), we did not prepare for the run point test. In fact, the run point test did not reflect the real data. The most important thing is that we experience the speed of opening, as well as the speed of opening when building the site. It is the same as the effect of our comparison of mobile phone photos. The cost of mobile phones is the same, When comparing the effects of mobile phone photos, we take the same scene at the same time, so that the effects of the photos are similar.
Similarly, the above test data only represents the test data of Lao Zuo himself today. Maybe there will be different changes in the afternoon or evening.
