Virtual Instances · $107.31/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-4C-16G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $107.31/mo compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM instances for $5.94–$24.88/mo with better specs, lower renewal risk, or superior SLAs. Even accounting for hidden costs and contract terms, you can save 80–95% by switching.
Cheapest option by far at $5.94/mo on a 24-month term, includes 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, and unlimited traffic with 200 Mbit/s port.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost significantly more per month. Fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage, and support is ticket-only without add-ons.
Strong intro rate of $8.36/mo for 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA; includes $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99–$15.99/mo after intro term. Requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised price. Domain and privacy add-ons renew at full price after year one.
Excellent value at $8.50/mo for 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately. Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour. APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
Solid $9.99/mo for 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer (EU), and 99.9% SLA with no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT. Traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool (as low as 0.5–1TB in USA/Singapore). Recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (up to 2.75x) suggest potential future hikes.
Best spec match: 16GB RAM (same as Scaleway), 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, AMD EPYC, 1 Gbps port, weekly backups at $12.99/mo intro.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x increase). Requires 12–48 month prepay for intro rate. Free domain only first year. Weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
