Virtual Instances · $1019.81/mo (96 GB RAM, 48 vCPU)
Scaleway's $1019.81/mo plan is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple dedicated server and cloud providers offer 96GB+ RAM with 24-48 vCPU for $200-650/mo, delivering 40-80% savings with comparable or superior hardware and fewer hidden costs.
Bare-metal 48-core EPYC with 128GB RAM and up to 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo - nearly identical CPU/RAM to Scaleway at 1/5 the price.
Caveat: Setup fee of 159 EUR (~$173) applies to R/S variants; VAT excluded; traffic overage beyond 20TB EU pool billed per GB; recent price increases on CCX/CPX lines signal potential future hikes.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner | Dedicated Root Servers (AX line) · AX162 | $199/mo | 128 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 3840 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting) | VPS Hosting (Managed cPanel) · Managed cPanel 64GB | $207.92/mo | 64 GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 800 GB NVMe SSD | Visit |
| Contabo | Dedicated Servers · AMD Genoa 24 Cores | $214.92/mo |
128GB RAM, 24-core EPYC Genoa, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for $214.92/mo - half Scaleway's vCPU but double the RAM and storage at 79% discount.
Caveat: Price assumes 24-month prepaid contract; 1-12 month terms cost more per month; fair usage policy may throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
Dual-socket 24-core EPYC with 128GB RAM and 1.92TB SSD for $276/mo - enterprise-grade hardware at 73% savings versus Scaleway.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; delivery time 1-5 days depending on stock; 24 vCPU is half Scaleway's core count but specs are more balanced for most workloads.
128GB DDR5 RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth for $312/mo - modern hardware with no per-GB egress charges.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps sharply after intro term; 36-month prepay required for advertised rate; domain privacy and add-ons (SiteLock, backup) aggressively upsold at checkout.
Exact RAM match (96GB) with 24 vCPU, 1.6TB NVMe, 15TB transfer, and 100% network uptime SLA for $640/mo - closest spec parity to Scaleway.
Caveat: Still 37% cheaper but half the vCPU count; bandwidth overage rates vary by region; Windows licensing not included.
