Virtual Instances · $50.29/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Scaleway's BASIC2-A4C-16G at $50.29/mo is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM instances for $5.94–$21.99/mo, though Scaleway's 16GB RAM is a step up. If you truly need 16GB RAM, Scaleway remains the cheapest option, but the value proposition weakens considerably if 8GB suffices.
Delivers 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 100GB SSD for $5.94/mo with unlimited traffic, a 88% saving versus Scaleway.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost significantly more. Fair usage policy on unlimited traffic may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage. Ticket-only support on base tier.
4 vCPU / 8GB DDR5 RAM / 200GB NVMe for $8.36/mo intro rate with unmetered bandwidth and $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term (e.g. $9.99-$15.99/mo). Requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised price. Free domain and privacy only first year.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 75GB NVMe for $8.50/mo with 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately. Windows license surcharge applies. APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 80GB SSD for $9.99/mo with 20TB transfer and 99.9% SLA, no renewal trap.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT. Traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool (as low as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore). Recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (up to 2.75x).
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 240GB NVMe for $11.50/mo with unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal pricing 2-6x higher after 1-year contract. Additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each. Outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance tiered at $0.036/GB.
