Is Scaleway's BASIC2-A8C-32G the best deal?

Matches 8 vCPU and 24GB RAM (vs Scaleway's 32GB) at just 15% of the price, with unlimited traffic and no egress fees.

Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.

Delivers 8 vCPU and 24GB RAM with 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and unlimited traffic for less than a quarter of Scaleway's price.

Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; Windows licensing adds per-vCore surcharge.

8 vCPU and 16GB RAM (lower RAM but still substantial) at 18% of Scaleway's cost, with 20TB included transfer and no egress fees.

Caveat: Traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; recent large price increases (June 2026) on CCX/CPX lines suggest future hikes; VAT not included in listed price.

8 vCPU and 16GB RAM with 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbit/s), and 99.99% SLA for less than a quarter of Scaleway's cost.

Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on a 1-year contract; renewal is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is tiered at $0.036/GB.

8 vCPU and 16GB DDR5 RAM with 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA at 18% of Scaleway's cost.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term; requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised rate; domain and add-ons (SiteLock, CodeGuard) aggressively upsold.
