Virtual Instances · $6.55/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Scaleway DEV1-S is fairly priced but several competitors offer better specs or lower cost with fewer hidden traps. OVHcloud VPS-1 delivers 2x the RAM and storage for $1.01 less monthly, while IONOS VPS S+ matches specs at $0.45 less with unlimited traffic. Watch renewal pricing carefully across all alternatives.

Caveat: Windows licensing adds $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
Matches your 2GB/2vCPU spec with 90GB NVMe storage and unlimited traffic for $0.45 less per month.
