Scaleway POP2-HC-8C-16G: Better Deal Comparison

Comparing prices across every provider we track...

Better deals exist

The Scaleway POP2-HC-8C-16G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $155.34/mo compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU instances for $5.94-$12.99/mo with better specs (NVMe storage, higher bandwidth). Even accounting for renewal-price traps and hidden costs, you can save 85-95% by switching.

Cloud VPS 4

$5.94/mosave 96%

Cheapest option with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic (fair-use policy), and 99.90% SLA matching Scaleway's.

Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepaid term; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more per month; fair-use policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.

VPS Hosting NVMe 8

$8.36/mosave 95%

8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 99.99% SLA, and includes $60 Amazon gift card promo.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month prepay for lowest advertised rate; domain and add-ons have hidden renewal costs.

Cloud Servers CX33

$9.99/mosave 94%

8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, 99.9% SLA, and transparent pricing with no renewal traps.

Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB pool (varies by region); recent price increases on CPX/CCX lines suggest future adjustments possible.

KVM VPS KVM 4

$12.99/mosave 92%

16GB RAM (matches Scaleway), 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, AMD EPYC, weekly backups, 99.9% SLA.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); requires 12-24 month prepay for intro rate; free domain only first year; weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.

Cloud VPS L

$11.5/mosave 93%

8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbps), 99.99% SLA, and no long-term contract lock-in.

Caveat: Outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance charged at $0.036/GB; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; renewal pricing can be 2-6x higher on promotional rates.

Before you switch

Scaleway POP2-HC-8C-16G is end-of-life and no longer orderable; you cannot renew this plan.
Most alternatives use aggressive intro pricing with 2-4x renewal increases; verify the renewal rate and contract term before committing.
Contabo and Hostinger lock lowest prices to 24-month prepaid terms; 1-12 month billing costs significantly more per month.
Bandwidth is often 'unlimited' with fair-use or soft caps; confirm your actual usage pattern matches the provider's policy.
Scaleway's 1.6 Gbps public bandwidth is higher than most alternatives (typically 200 Mbit/s - 1 Gbps); verify if your workload needs this.
Check whether you need Windows Server licensing (Scaleway charges 2.5x for Windows variants); most budget alternatives are Linux-only at base price.
