Virtual Instances · $163.06/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
The Scaleway PRO2-S is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $163.06/mo for 32GB/8vCPU. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at 1/4 to 1/3 the cost, though most lock in introductory rates that spike at renewal. Contabo's 24-month contract option offers the best long-term value if you can commit upfront.
Matches your 8vCPU and exceeds RAM (24GB vs 32GB) with 450GB NVMe and unlimited traffic at 1/5 the Scaleway price on a 24-month term.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
8vCPU with 24GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, 3 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and unlimited traffic for 1/7 the Scaleway cost with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows licensing adds per-vCore surcharge; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
8vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, and 99.9% SLA at 1/9 the Scaleway price with no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines suggest future hikes possible.
8vCPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA at 1/9 the Scaleway cost, plus $75 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Intro rate requires 36-month prepay; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo; free domain only year one; aggressive upsells at checkout.
Cheapest option at 1/12 Scaleway price with 4vCPU, 16GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, and 99.9% SLA on AMD EPYC.
Caveat: Intro rate requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); only 4vCPU vs your 8vCPU; weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
