| Free tier | No English signup credit is published. The pricing FAQ carries only a conditional example: 'For example, if you received a $100 credit for 60 days'.

| Notes | The $100 for 60 days cannot be ranked because no English page states it as an offer. A card is mandatory for every account, whether or not a credit is granted. Debit and the USD 1 hold are documented on the vendor's own payment-methods page. Prepaid is deliberately recorded as not stated: a Linode community answer says prepaid cards are accepted, but that is a third-party statement on a forum and no first-party page read says it. |

| Evidence note | documented the pricing pages and the Japanese trial page were read on 2026-10-23; the English $100 offer does not exist as a page | Payment facts re-read on 2026-10-24: the card types, the hold and the identity gate each come from a first-party page quoted in evidence[]. |

| 2026-10-23 | www.akamai.com/products/prolexic-solutions | For the Prolexic Routed GRE option, you need to have an assigned /24 or larger advertisable network block (IPv4) or /48 (IPv6), the ability to advertise your network traffic via BGP, and support generic routing encapsulation (GRE) with your origin-based network hardware. |
| 2026-10-23 | www.akamai.com/products/prolexic-solutions | For customers with less than a routable IPv4 /24 and/or IPv6 /48, fragmented IP space, or cloud-hosting provider, the Prolexic IP Protect option provides the same level of DDoS protection via IP anycast to route symmetric traffic through Akamai scrubbing centers. |
