Is Scaleway's PRO2-M the best deal?

Virtual Instances · $326.13/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)

Better deals exist

The Scaleway PRO2-M is end-of-life and overpriced at $326/mo for 64GB/16vCPU. Multiple providers offer matching or superior specs at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost, though most lock you into multi-year contracts with steep renewal penalties. Contabo's dedicated server option delivers the best raw value if you can commit to 24 months.

AMD Ryzen 12 Cores (Dedicated Server)

$103.68/mosave 68%

Matches your 64GB RAM and exceeds vCPU count (12 vs 16) at 68% savings; unlimited traffic vs Scaleway's 3 Gbps; dedicated hardware vs shared cloud.

Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 12-month term costs ~20% more; support is ticket-only unless you pay extra.

Cloud VDS XL (Max Performance VPS)

$111.23/mosave 66%

64GB RAM, 8 guaranteed cores, 480GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at 66% savings; better isolation than shared cloud if you need it.

Caveat: 24-month contract pricing shown; 12-month term is EUR82.40/mo (~$90); fewer vCPUs than Scaleway but dedicated physical cores.

AX42 (Dedicated Root Server)

$49/mosave 85%

64GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO, 1.92TB NVMe at 85% savings; bare-metal performance with no hypervisor overhead.

Caveat: Setup fee now 79 EUR (~$86) added upfront; only 8 vCPU vs your 16; 20TB traffic included but EU-only; VAT not included in quoted price.

VPS 16 vCPU

$44.99/mosave 86%

16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 460GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection at 86% savings; matches your core vCPU count.

Caveat: Price requires 3-year upfront prepay; renewal jumps to ~$132/mo (3x higher); only 32GB RAM vs your 64GB; intro pricing trap is severe.

VPS L (Self-Managed)

$54.98/mosave 83%

16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 640GB NVMe, 1 Gbps port at 83% savings; strong specs for the price.

Caveat: Only 32GB RAM vs your 64GB; renewal rates 2-3x higher; medium confidence sourcing; 1TB bandwidth cap vs unlimited.

Before you switch

Scaleway PRO2-M is end-of-life and cannot be ordered new; verify if you need to migrate an existing instance or if this is a new purchase.
All top alternatives require 12-24 month prepay contracts; renewal prices are 2-4x higher, so factor true 3-year cost, not just intro rate.
Contabo's 'unlimited traffic' is subject to fair-use throttling; confirm your actual bandwidth needs before committing.
Hetzner AX42 has 8 vCPU (not 16) and 79 EUR setup fee; VAT is excluded from listed price, adding ~19-27% depending on your region.
InMotion and Hosting.com renewal traps are severe (3-4x jumps); calculate total 3-year cost including renewals before signing.
