Virtual Instances · $155.34/mo (16 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
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.
Cheapest option with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 200 Mbit/s; effective rate on 24-month term.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid commitment; shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, includes $60 Amazon gift card; 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 renewal fees.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, no setup fees on cloud instances; stable pricing with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; USA/Singapore regions have much smaller included transfer (0.5-1TB); VAT excluded from listed price.
16GB RAM (matches Scaleway), 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, AMD EPYC, weekly backups; excellent value for RAM.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); requires 12/24/48-month prepay for advertised rate; monthly billing available but much more expensive; free domain only year 1.
16GB RAM (matches Scaleway), 4 vCPU, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (1-year contract); renewal pricing 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance tiered at $0.036-0.018/GB.
