Is Scaleway's POP2-HC-48C-96G the best deal?

Bare-metal 48-core EPYC with 128GB RAM and 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo, nearly 5x cheaper than Scaleway with superior specs and no egress fees on standard traffic.

Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; traffic overages beyond 20TB EU pool billed per GB; VAT not included in quoted price.

24-core EPYC Genoa with 128GB RAM and unlimited traffic at $215/mo; doubling to a 48-core tier would still undercut Scaleway significantly.

Caveat: Quoted price assumes 24-month prepaid contract; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse; ticket-only support on base tier.

Dual-socket EPYC 7413 with 128GB RAM and 1.92TB SSD at $276/mo; a 48-core configuration would remain well below Scaleway's price.

Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; delivery time varies 1 hour to 5 days; sourced in EUR and converted, verify live pricing.

Cloud instance with 24 vCPU, 96GB RAM, 1.6TB NVMe, and 15TB transfer at $640/mo; 31% cheaper than Scaleway with no egress surcharges on included bandwidth.

Caveat: Only 24 vCPU vs Scaleway's 48; bandwidth overage rates vary by region; Windows licensing not included.

32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 600GB NVMe, 20TB transfer at $629/mo; cloud-native alternative with 32% savings and no setup fees.

Caveat: Only 32 vCPU vs Scaleway's 48; CCX line saw 2.1-2.73x price increases in June 2026; VAT excluded; traffic overages beyond 20TB EU billed per GB.
