Linode (Akamai Cloud) Servers Are Now Live on Kvantis — Pay with Crypto
November 6, 2026 · 4 min read
Kvantis now deploys on Linode, the cloud platform of Akamai. Together with Vultr, Hetzner and DigitalOcean that makes four clouds behind one account, one crypto balance, one dashboard and one API — just choose Linode in the first step when you create a server.
Where you can deploy
Linode servers are available in 26 cities on five continents:
- North America — Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Fremont, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, Seattle, Washington and Toronto
- South America — São Paulo
- Europe — Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris and Stockholm
- Asia — Chennai, Jakarta, Mumbai, Osaka, Singapore and Tokyo
- Australia — Melbourne and Sydney
What you get
- Servers from $11/month + VAT, billed by the hour from your balance — destroy the server at any time and billing stops. Prices are a bit higher in Jakarta and São Paulo.
- Shared and dedicated vCPU plans, from 1 vCPU / 1 GB up to large dedicated machines.
- 1 TB of traffic and more included, depending on the plan.
- IPv4 and IPv6 and full root access.
- Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream and Fedora.
- Automatic backups as an optional add-on.
- A root password set up for you and shown in your dashboard — or set your own when you order. It stays the same after a reinstall.
Which cloud to pick?
All four run from the same balance, so you can mix them freely.
- Vultr — the widest choice: 30+ cities on six continents, Windows images, one-click apps and the in-browser console.
- Hetzner — great price per core in Europe, free DDoS protection and generous traffic.
- DigitalOcean — a developer favourite with the same price in every city.
- Linode — Akamai's network with cities few others cover, such as Jakarta, Chennai, Miami and São Paulo, plus dedicated-CPU plans.
A couple of things work differently on Linode: the main IP can't be swapped in place — use Recreate with new IP instead — and Windows and the web console are Vultr-only. Buttons that don't apply simply don't appear.
How to deploy on Linode
- Top up your balance with USDT, BTC or any of the supported coins.
- Open Deploy and choose Linode as the provider.
- Pick an operating system, a plan and a city.
- Set a root password (or let us generate one) and click Deploy — the server is ready in about two minutes.
