Virtual Instances · $330.25/mo (8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
The Scaleway POP2-HN-5 is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $330.25/mo for 8GB/4vCPU specs. Multiple providers offer matching or superior hardware for $5-15/mo, though most lock in intro pricing with steep renewal hikes. The best value depends on your contract tolerance and traffic patterns.
Exact spec match (8GB RAM, 4vCPU, 100GB SSD) at 1.8% of Scaleway's price with unlimited traffic and 99.90% SLA.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepaid term; 1-month/12-month terms cost significantly more, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
Exceeds specs (8GB RAM, 4vCPU, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer) with DDoS protection and 99.9% SLA at under $10/mo intro rate.
Caveat: Intro price requires 3-year prepay; renewal jumps to ~$40/mo (4x higher), and free domain is first-year only.
Significantly outspecs the Scaleway plan (16GB RAM, 4vCPU, 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer) on AMD EPYC with weekly backups.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12-48 month prepay; renewal jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x), and monthly billing is much more expensive.
Matches core specs (4GB RAM, 4vCPU, 120GB NVMe) with unlimited traffic and 99.99% SLA at a fraction of Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
Competitive specs (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 75GB NVMe) with unmetered bandwidth, full root access, Docker/KVM support, and claimed 100% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to ~$45/mo (2.8x higher), monthly-only billing with no hourly option, and free domain is first-year only.
