Virtual Instances · $653.01/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU)
The Scaleway PRO2-L is end-of-life and overpriced at $653/mo for 128GB/32vCPU. Multiple providers offer matching or superior specs at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost, though most require long-term contracts and carry renewal-price traps. The best value lies with Contabo's dedicated AMD Genoa 24-core ($214.92/mo) or Hetzner's AX102 ($99/mo), both offering 128GB RAM at a fraction of Scaleway's rate.
128GB RAM, 16-core Ryzen 9, 3.84TB NVMe, and 20TB traffic included for just $99/mo - a 6.6x price reduction versus Scaleway.
Caveat: Setup fee is 79 EUR (raised in 2026); price excludes VAT; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; specs are dedicated hardware, not cloud-elastic.
128GB RAM, 24-core AMD EPYC, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for $214.92/mo - matches Scaleway's RAM at 1/3 the price with more cores.
Caveat: Price is effective on 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth abuse; ticket-only support on base tier.
128GB RAM, 24-core AMD EPYC, 1.92TB SSD for $276.33/mo - exceeds Scaleway's core count and matches RAM at 42% of the cost.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; delivery time 1-5 days; dedicated hardware only; no cloud elasticity.
128GB RAM, 24vCPU, 2.56TB SSD, 11TB transfer for $342/mo - cloud-managed with 99.99% SLA and better elasticity than Scaleway.
Caveat: Bandwidth overages $0.02/GB (DigitalOcean); offsite backup $0.033/GB; add-ons (CDN, malware protection, advanced support) are separate recurring fees.
64GB RAM, 16vCPU, 2TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 99.99% SLA for $217.19/mo - half Scaleway's price with strong uptime guarantee.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-3x after intro term; requires 36-month commitment for advertised rate; domain, privacy, and add-ons (SiteLock, CodeGuard) charged separately after year one.
