Virtual Instances · $367.84/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD2-A16C-64G is end-of-life and overpriced at $367.84/mo for its specs. Multiple providers offer 16 vCPU / 32GB RAM configurations for $25-65/mo with better renewal transparency, and several deliver 64GB RAM options at $49-111/mo with lower total-cost-of-ownership when renewal rates are factored in.
Matches your 16 vCPU / 32GB RAM at 1/10th the price with 320GB SSD, 20TB EU transfer included, and stable pricing history on CX line.
Caveat: VAT not included in quoted price; traffic overages charged per GB outside EU; setup fees on dedicated lines increased in 2026.
Delivers 12 vCPU / 48GB RAM (exceeds your spec) for $27/mo on 24-month term, with unlimited traffic and no egress fees like Scaleway's Object Storage charges.
Caveat: Price is 24-month prepaid rate; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
16 vCPU / 32GB RAM / 460GB NVMe at $44.99/mo (3-year intro rate) with unlimited transfer, DDoS protection, and clearer renewal expectations than Scaleway.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term (estimated $90-180/mo); requires 24-36 month upfront commitment for best pricing.
64GB RAM / 8 vCPU with guaranteed physical cores and unlimited traffic at $111.23/mo (24-month term), eliminating Scaleway's hidden egress and snapshot storage fees.
Caveat: Price is 24-month prepaid; 12-month term is EUR 82.40/mo (~$90); 1-month billing significantly more expensive.
64GB RAM / 8 vCPU / 1.92TB NVMe on dedicated hardware at $49/mo with 20TB EU transfer, offering better isolation and storage than Scaleway's shared instance.
Caveat: Setup fee raised to 79 EUR in 2026; VAT excluded from price; traffic overages charged per GB outside EU; dedicated server pricing subject to future increases.
