Would a Linode VPS be much different than an Amazon instance to host a couple of projects without traffic?
I've been thinking about getting something more "proper" than the GoDaddy plan I've been barely using for a couple of years, and was looking at getting a micro instance with Amazon. A reserved micro instance is only $54/year. I've seen Linode mentioned often but I'm wondering if the $240/year are worth it compared to what I would learn using an Amazon instance.
