Is Scaleway's PRO2-XS the best deal?

Virtual Instances · $81.9/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)

Better deals exist

The Scaleway PRO2-XS is end-of-life and significantly overpriced at $81.90/mo for 16GB/4vCPU. Multiple providers offer 8GB/4vCPU plans for $5.94-$12.39/mo with comparable or better specs, though most lock in introductory rates on multi-year contracts with steep renewal penalties.

Cloud VPS 4

$5.94/mosave 93%

Cheapest option at $5.94/mo for 4vCPU/8GB with 100GB SSD and unlimited traffic; effective rate on 24-month term.

Caveat: Requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1-12 month terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.

VPS Hosting NVMe 8

$8.36/mosave 90%

Strong intro price of $8.36/mo for 4vCPU/8GB with 200GB NVMe and unmetered bandwidth; includes $60 Amazon gift card.

Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month contract for lowest advertised price; aggressive upsells during checkout.

VPS-2

$8.5/mosave 90%

Solid value at $8.50/mo for 4vCPU/8GB with 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and 99.99% SLA.

Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.

Cloud Servers CX33

$9.99/mosave 88%

Excellent value at $9.99/mo for 4vCPU/8GB with 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer, and 99.9% SLA; no long-term contract required.

Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool; recent large price increases on other product lines suggest future hikes possible.

Cloud VPS L

$11.5/mosave 86%

Competitive at $11.50/mo for 4vCPU/8GB with 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, and 99.99% SLA.

Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after contract period; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered.

Before you switch

Scaleway PRO2-XS is end-of-life and no longer orderable; you cannot renew this plan.
Most alternatives lock in intro rates on 24-36 month prepaid contracts; verify renewal pricing before committing.
Contabo and Bluehost require multi-year upfront payment to achieve advertised monthly rates; 1-month billing is much more expensive.
Confirm whether your workload fits 8GB RAM (most alternatives) vs 16GB (Scaleway); if you need 16GB, costs will be higher across the board.
Check data transfer limits and egress costs for your region; Scaleway's 700 Mbps public bandwidth and OVHcloud's APAC egress changes may matter for your use case.
Verify SLA requirements; Scaleway does not publish an SLA for this EOL tier, while most alternatives offer 99.9-99.99%.
