Virtual Instances · $310.68/mo (32 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HC-16C-32G at $310.68/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 16-32GB RAM with 8 vCPU for $15-50/mo, delivering 6-20x better value. However, beware renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins that can double or triple costs after the intro term.
24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 300GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $15.12/mo - nearly 20x cheaper than Scaleway with comparable specs.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepaid term; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth at $17.67/mo intro rate with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month contract for lowest advertised price; domain and add-ons incur hidden charges after year one.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included at $18.49/mo with 99.9% SLA and no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; recent large price increases (June 2026) on other product lines suggest future hikes possible.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s at $22/mo with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (3-month or 1-year contract); renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool costs $0.036/GB.
24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic at $23.37/mo with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC region loses free egress after mid-2026; Object Storage has retrieval fees and minimum storage durations.
