Virtual Instances · $107.31/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-4C-16G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to current market alternatives. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM instances for $5.94-$12.39/mo with better specs (NVMe storage, higher bandwidth), though the Scaleway plan does include 16GB RAM which most competitors don't match at comparable price points.
Cheapest option by far at $5.94/mo for 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 100GB SSD with unlimited traffic, saving $101/mo versus Scaleway.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepaid term; shorter contracts cost significantly more per month, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
Only $8.36/mo intro for 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 200GB NVMe with unmetered bandwidth and includes $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest price; domain and add-ons have aggressive upsells.
Solid value at $8.50/mo for 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 75GB NVMe 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.
Reliable 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 80GB SSD at $9.99/mo with 20TB transfer pool and 99.9% SLA, no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines suggest future hikes possible.
4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 240GB NVMe with unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbps) and 99.99% SLA at $11.50/mo.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo; renewal rates are 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB is metered.
