Virtual Instances · $265.5/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Scaleway's POP2-4C-16G-WIN at $265.50/mo is significantly overpriced for a Windows VPS. The Windows licensing surcharge (2.5x markup) and 16GB RAM spec push costs well above comparable Linux alternatives. Multiple providers offer 4vCPU/8GB Linux instances for under $13/mo, and even accounting for Windows license add-ons elsewhere, you'd save 50-70% by switching.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 150GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at 1/21st the Scaleway price; no Windows license surcharge if you run Linux.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included; excellent value and no Windows licensing if running Linux.
Caveat: VAT not included in listed price; traffic overage charged per GB beyond regional pool; recent price increases on other lines suggest future hikes possible.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic; strong SLA (99.99%) and no Windows surcharge on Linux.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (1-year contract); renewal rates 2-6x higher; Windows Server license adds per-vCPU surcharge on top.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic; lowest sticker price for comparable specs.
Caveat: Windows license surcharge $0.039/vCore/hour (~$11/mo); IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
4 vCPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth; includes $60 Amazon gift card promo.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term (e.g. $9.99-$15.99/mo); requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised rate; aggressive upsells during checkout.
