Virtual Instances · $1242.75/mo (128 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HC-64C-128G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $1242.75/mo. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM / 32-64 vCPU configurations for $200-$700/mo with better specs, lower renewal risk, and comparable or superior SLAs. Even accounting for hidden costs and setup fees, you can save 60-85% by switching.
48 vCPU, 128GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo - nearly 6x cheaper than Scaleway with better CPU generation and more storage.
Caveat: Setup fee 159 EUR (~$173) in 2026; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines suggest future hikes possible.
128GB DDR5 RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for $312/mo - strong value with no per-GB egress charges.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-3x after intro term; 36-month prepay required for lowest rate; aggressive upsell prompts for add-ons during checkout.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 10 Gbit/s port for ~$431/mo - excellent value with no egress fees and modern EPYC 9355P CPU.
Caveat: Price is effective rate on 24-month contract; shorter terms cost more; third-party aggregator lists EUR249/mo on 12-month term (unverified); fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB transfer, 99.99% SLA for $532/mo - managed infrastructure with strong uptime guarantee.
Caveat: Advertised price is promotional (often 50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing significantly higher; bandwidth overages and storage add-ons billed separately.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 99.99% SLA for $503/mo - European provider with strong uptime and no egress charges on standard tiers.
Caveat: Intro pricing is 3-month or 1-year promo; renewal pricing 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses $6/mo each; outbound transfer beyond 2TB tiered at $0.036-$0.018/GB; building-block pricing model harder to estimate.
