CHOOSING YOUR HOSTING

AnoneHost vs Akamai Cloud

Compared with Akamai Cloud, formerly Linode, our differences lie in the Windows range, account information, locations and Linux VPS backups. Here is what may matter for your project, with the precise scope of the products compared.

Concrete choices for your environment.

Four concrete differences to help you choose based on your priorities.

Windows appears directly in our range.

AnoneHost offers Windows RDP plans with administrator access. The standard Linode image catalog features Linux distributions. A custom Windows installation remains technically possible at Linode outside native support: our advantage concerns the Windows offering identified in the catalog, not a technical impossibility at the competitor.

No billing address to open the account.

You open an AnoneHost hosting account by token without providing a postal address. The Akamai Cloud getting started guide documents billing information, including the address. This difference concerns the hosting account and does not change the information required to register a domain name.

At AnoneHost

The AnoneHost hosting account does not require entering a billing address.

At Akamai Cloud

The Akamai getting-started guide requires a billing address and a payment method.

A Moldova or Romania choice for compute.

Our VPS and RDP are offered in these two countries. They do not appear in the list of Akamai Cloud core compute regions consulted. The comparison does not cover its CDN network, points of presence or distributed compute regions.

Daily backups are included in the catalog.

Our Linux VPS advertises them in its plan. The Linode Backups service is a paid option whose price depends on the instance. Here you distinguish an advertised inclusion from an optional service, without attributing the same retention or restore time to both solutions.

At AnoneHost

Daily automatic backups stated in our Linux VPS plan.

At Akamai Cloud

The Linode Backups service, which includes a daily backup, is a paid add-on.

The token-based hosting account is separate from the information required to register a domain name.

The comparison covers the inclusion and billing method of the backups advertised. It does not compare their retention, restore time or measured performance.

The questions that make the difference.

Is Windows impossible on Linode?

No. A custom installation remains possible outside native support. Our advantage is the presence of Windows RDP offerings identified in the AnoneHost catalog, compared with Linode's standard Linux image catalog.

Which Akamai locations are compared?

Only the core compute regions published for instances. The CDN network, points of presence and distributed compute regions are not used to conclude whether a VPS region is present or absent.
