Pros & cons

Linode (Akamai)
Cheapest egress overage of the US trio ($5/TB)
Akamai backbone and expanding global regions
Long track record, simple flat pricing
Console and ecosystem less polished than DigitalOcean
Akamai enterprise focus shifts attention from small VPS users

Strong value for bandwidth-heavy workloads thanks to the lowest per-TB overage among US providers.

OVHcloud
Unlimited traffic with high public bandwidth (500 Mbps–3 Gbps)
Daily backup included on the VPS 2027 range
European sovereignty and wide region choice
'From' prices assume the longest commitment
Console UX is notoriously clunky
Support responsiveness varies

Strong EU value with unmetered traffic and free backups; just read the commitment terms behind the 'From' price before comparing.
