Virtual Instances · $279.96/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
Scaleway's GP1-M at $279.96/mo is significantly overpriced for its specs compared to dedicated and high-performance VPS alternatives. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM with 12-16 vCPU for $50-$112/mo on transparent, non-promotional pricing, making Scaleway roughly 2.5-5.6x more expensive for equivalent or better hardware.
64GB RAM, 8 guaranteed physical cores, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at less than 40% of Scaleway's price with no hidden egress fees.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; 12-month term costs EUR82.40/mo (~$89/mo); traffic is unlimited but subject to fair-use throttling on sustained abuse.
64GB RAM, 12 physical cores, 1TB NVMe, unlimited traffic, dedicated hardware at 37% of Scaleway's cost with no per-GB egress charges.
Caveat: 24-month prepay term required for this rate; shorter terms cost more; ticket-only support on base tier.
64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO, 1.92TB NVMe, 20TB traffic included, dedicated hardware at 17% of Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Setup fee now 79 EUR (~$86) added to first month; VAT not included in quoted price; traffic overages charged per GB outside EU regions.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU Intel, 460GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection at 16% of Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Intro price requires 3-year prepay; renewal jumps to ~$131.99/mo (3x higher); 32GB RAM is half Scaleway's allocation.
48GB RAM, 8 ARM cores, always-free tier available, 99.95% SLA, and transparent per-OCPU pricing at 25% of Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: ARM architecture (not x86); Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Archive Storage has 90-day minimum retention penalty.
