Is Scaleway's POP2-HM-8C-64G the best deal?

Virtual Instances · $300.76/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

The Scaleway POP2-HM-8C-64G at $300.76/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Several providers offer 64GB RAM or better specs for under $110/mo on long-term contracts, with lower renewal-price shock and more transparent billing.

AMD Ryzen 12 Cores (Dedicated Server)

$103.68/mosave 65.5%

Matches your 64GB RAM and exceeds vCPU count (12 vs 8) with dedicated hardware, unlimited traffic, and NVMe storage for less than one-third the Scaleway price.

Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 12-month term costs ~EUR 44.80/mo more; fair-usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.

AX41 (Dedicated Root Server)

$45/mosave 85.1%

64GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 1TB NVMe for $45/mo (estimated); dedicated hardware with strong SLA and no egress charges within EU.

Caveat: Price not confirmed this session; setup fee ~EUR 79 applies; VAT excluded; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; verify current pricing on Hetzner site.

Cloud VPS Plus 12

$54.16/mosave 82%

48GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 600GB NVMe, unlimited traffic for $54/mo on 24-month term; closest to your spec at a fraction of the cost.

Caveat: 12-month term costs significantly more; fair-usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support unless upgraded.

Stack 32

$59.99/mosave 80.1%

32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, full root access, and 100% SLA for under $60/mo.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps steeply (often 2-3x intro rate); no hourly/pay-as-you-go option; domain renewal not free after year one.

Basic Cube XL

$65.52/mosave 78.2%

32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 960GB NVMe, 99.99% SLA for $65/mo; more vCPU density than Scaleway at 78% lower cost.

Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (1-year contract); renewal 2-6x higher; outbound data over 2TB pooled allowance charged at $0.036/GB; Windows licensing extra.

Before you switch

Scaleway POP2-HM-8C-64G is end-of-life and cannot be ordered new; do not renew this plan.

Contabo and Hetzner prices exclude VAT; add ~19-21% for EU invoicing.
DreamHost and IONOS have steep renewal-price increases (2-6x); budget for 2-3x cost after intro term ends.
Hetzner AX41 price is estimated; confirm current pricing and setup fees on hetzner.com before purchasing.
Check bandwidth caps and overage rates: Hetzner charges per GB beyond 20TB EU; IONOS charges $0.036/GB beyond 2TB pooled.
