Virtual Instances · $186.44/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HN-3 is end-of-life and overpriced at $186.44/mo for 4GB/2vCPU. Multiple providers offer 4GB+ RAM with 2+ vCPU for $5-$9/mo, though most lock in intro pricing with steep renewal hikes. Contabo's 8GB/4vCPU at $5.94/mo is the strongest value if you can commit to 24 months.
Matches your 4GB/2vCPU spec for $4.54/mo with 40GB NVMe, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 address billed separately; renewal pricing not disclosed, so verify long-term cost before committing.
Offers 4GB/1vCPU with 50GB NVMe SSD, 4TB bandwidth, and weekly backups at $6.49/mo intro.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12-48 month prepay; renewal jumps to $11.99/mo (85% increase), and monthly billing is much higher.
Delivers 4GB/2vCPU with 40GB SSD and 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo with no long-term lock-in.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; traffic overage charged per GB beyond 20TB pool, and recent price increases suggest future hikes are possible.
Cheapest option at $4.33/mo for 2GB/2vCPU with 80GB NVMe and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s.
Caveat: Intro pricing is 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is tiered at $0.036/GB.
