Virtual Instances · $601.52/mo (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HM-16C-128G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $601.52/mo. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM with 16 vCPU for $40-$150/mo, though none match the 128GB RAM spec exactly at comparable cost. The best value depends on whether you need the full 128GB or can work with 64GB.
16 vCPU and 64GB RAM for $72.52/mo with unlimited traffic; closest spec match to Scaleway at 1/8th the price.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay term; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
16 vCPU, 64GB RAM, 960GB NVMe for $90/mo with 99.99% SLA; strong uptime guarantee.
Caveat: Renewal pricing after promo period is 2-6x higher; outbound data transfer beyond 2TB free allowance is $0.036/GB; Windows licensing adds per-vCPU surcharge.
Cheapest 16 vCPU option at $39.96/mo with unlimited traffic; entry-level price point.
Caveat: Only 64GB RAM and 500GB SSD (half the Scaleway storage); 24-month prepay required for this rate; ticket-only support on base tier.
Dedicated server with 8 vCPU, 64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 1.92TB NVMe for $49/mo; excellent hardware specs.
Caveat: Only 8 vCPU (half Scaleway); setup fee raised to 79 EUR in 2026; traffic overages billed beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from price.
Dedicated server with 128GB RAM (matches Scaleway) and 12 vCPU for $166.70/mo promo price; only true 128GB alternative.
Caveat: Regular price is EUR 192.94/mo (higher); only 12 vCPU vs Scaleway's 16; VAT excluded; delivery time 1-5 days; promo pricing may not be permanent.
