Virtual Instances · $1063.39/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
Scaleway's POP2-16C-64G-WIN at $1,063.39/mo is significantly overpriced for Windows cloud hosting. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 5-10% of the cost, though most require multi-year prepay commitments and carry steep renewal penalties. The Windows licensing surcharge on Scaleway's plan is the primary driver of this premium.
64GB RAM, 12 vCPU dedicated cores, 1TB NVMe, unlimited traffic at roughly 1/10th the Scaleway price; true dedicated hardware vs shared instances.
Caveat: Quoted price is 24-month prepay rate; 12-month term costs ~EUR 82.40/mo (~$90/mo); renewal on shorter terms significantly higher; ticket-only support on base tier.
64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO, 1.92TB NVMe, 20TB traffic included; dedicated server at 4.6% of Scaleway's price.
Caveat: Setup fee raised to EUR 79 (~$86) in 2026; VAT not included in listed price; traffic overages billed beyond 20TB EU pool; renewal/long-term pricing not specified.
64GB RAM, 8 guaranteed physical cores, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic; high-performance VPS at 1/10th Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: 24-month prepay rate shown; 12-month term is EUR 82.40/mo (~$90/mo); fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support baseline.
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 320GB SSD, 20TB traffic; matches Scaleway's vCPU/RAM at 3.3% of the price.
Caveat: Only 32GB RAM vs Scaleway's 64GB; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU; VAT excluded; recent price increases on other Hetzner lines (CCX +2.1-2.73x in June 2026).
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 460GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection; 3-year contract rate at 4.2% of Scaleway.
Caveat: Only 32GB RAM vs Scaleway's 64GB; renewal price 2-4x higher (likely $90-180/mo); 3-year prepay required for this rate; free domain only year 1.
