I’ve tried most of them. Some are expensive and the free features aren’t enough for normal users.
If you are looking at Linode which is VPS provider, I assume you are looking at it because you are fed up with performance of generic Apache based hosts. Choosing any of the above tools will surely improve your site performance, but there are some tweaks required in order to get the maximum out your node. This requires some server knowledge. You should be knowing about NGINX by now. Getting the right setup on your NGINX server can save you hundreds of dollars in hosting. Your site can handle a greater amount of traffic with lesser resources.
Also, just setting up WordPress on a VPS at any server isn’t the hard part. Securing it is.
If you’d like the best NGINX configuration for your WordPress site & a secure server, feel free to install script VPSSIM on CentOS VM.

SSH to CentOs VM
Right click on Pageant and select New Session. Enter the IP address of your node in the Host Name field, then click Open. Then PuTTY will warn you that the host key is not present in the local cache. That’s fine, this is the first time you log in, so click Yes. Now log in as root and enter your password, too (you can paste with right click or Shift+Insert – it won’t be visible as asterisks, but it’ll be pasted anyway). If everything went well, you’ll be presented with a root terminal prompt:
login as: root
[email protected]'s password:
Last login: Thu Oct 5 14:24:40 2017 from 77.231.23.49
It’s a good idea to change the SSH port from the default 22 to a random one under 1024 to get rid of at least some of the script kiddies. Why under 1024? Because ports under 1024 require root privileges to run, so you prevent random users from running rogue SSH server instances.
