Virtual Instances · $25.18/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC2-A2C-8G at $25.18/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable 8GB/2vCPU alternatives. Several providers offer matching or better specs at less than half the price, though most carry renewal-price traps or hidden egress fees that require careful contract-term planning.
Exact spec match (8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD) at one-quarter Scaleway's price with unlimited traffic and 200 Mbit/s port.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB NVMe SSD, 5TB transfer, and DDoS protection at $9.99/mo on 3-year term (or $5.99/mo on 1-year promo).
Caveat: Renewal prices are 2-4x higher than intro rates; lowest prices require 24-36 month prepay; free domain only for year one.
4GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 120GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at $11/mo with 99.99% SLA matches Scaleway's reliability claim.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool is metered at $0.036/GB.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 150GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 500 Mbit/s port at $12.39/mo on 24-month term.
Caveat: 24-month prepay required for this rate; shorter terms cost more; fair-usage policy applies to unlimited traffic claim.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer at $6.49/mo with 99.9% SLA and no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Spec is 4GB/2vCPU (half Scaleway's RAM and vCPU); traffic overages billed per GB outside 20TB pool; VAT excluded from listed price; recent large price increases on other lines suggest future hikes possible.
