Virtual Instances · $1715.5/mo (256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-64C-256G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $1,715.50/mo. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM / 32 vCPU configurations (half the vCPU count but still powerful) for $199-$532/mo, representing 60-88% savings. Even accounting for hidden costs and renewal traps, the value gap is substantial.
Bare-metal dedicated server with 128GB RAM, 48 vCPU (vs Scaleway's 64), 3.84TB NVMe, and 20TB EU traffic included for just $199/mo.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; VAT not included in quoted price; traffic overages billed per GB outside EU regions.
Dedicated server with 128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for $312/mo intro rate.
Caveat: Renewal rates jump 2-3x after intro term; 36-month prepay required for lowest price; domain and privacy add-ons become paid after year one.
32 vCPU / 128GB RAM dedicated server with 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic, and 10 Gbit/s port for EUR 399/mo (effective on 24-month term).
Caveat: Price discrepancy reported on aggregator sites; quoted rate assumes 24-month prepay (1/12-month terms cost more); fair usage policy may throttle sustained high bandwidth.
Fully managed 128GB RAM / 16 vCPU (2x AMD EPYC 7252) dedicated server with 960GB RAID1 NVMe for $399/mo.
Caveat: Price is estimated with high-confidence specs; renewal rates 2-3x intro; dedicated pricing not published, requires sales call; US data centers only.
32 vCPU / 128GB RAM with 3.2TB RAID-10 SSD, 10TB bandwidth, and 100% uptime SLA for $532/mo.
Caveat: Advertised price is frequently promotional (50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing meaningfully higher; bandwidth overages and storage add-ons billed separately.
