Linode, now part of Akamai, offers solid VPS with DDoS protection included, managed databases, and global Akamai CDN integration. Competitive pricing with 11 datacenters.

Pros

  • DDoS protection included on all plans — not an add-on
  • Akamai CDN integration for content delivery
  • Strong managed databases offering

Cons

  • Slightly fewer datacenter locations than Vultr
  • UI feels dated compared to DigitalOcean

Best For

Developers who want reliable VPS with built-in DDoS protection and don't want to pay extra for CDN integration
