Virtual Instances · $735.69/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD2-A32C-128G at $735.69/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM / 16-24 vCPU dedicated or cloud servers for $99-$276/mo, delivering 2.7x-7.4x better value. Even accounting for renewal-price traps and hidden costs, switching is strongly recommended.
Matches your 128GB RAM and exceeds vCPU count (16 cores) with dedicated Ryzen hardware, NVMe storage, and 20TB EU traffic included for one-seventh the price.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR in 2026; VAT not included in listed price; traffic overages charged per GB outside EU regions.
Exceeds your specs (128GB RAM, 24 vCPU AMD EPYC) with enterprise-grade hardware and 99.9% SLA for 62% less than Scaleway.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; delivery time 1-5 days; no public bandwidth allowance specified.
128GB RAM, 24-core EPYC Genoa, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for 71% savings; 24-month prepay locks in rate.
Caveat: Pricing is 24-month prepaid rate; shorter terms cost more; fair-usage policy may throttle sustained high bandwidth; price discrepancy noted between sources (EUR 199 vs EUR 169).
16 vCPU, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 3 IPs for 70% less; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-3x after intro term; 36-month commitment required for advertised rate; domain and privacy add-ons charged after year one.
Exceeds your specs (128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 2.56TB SSD, 11TB transfer) with 99.99% SLA and managed cloud infrastructure.
Caveat: Bandwidth overages $0.02-$0.12/GB depending on cloud provider; offsite backup $0.033/GB; autoscaling and add-ons (CDN, malware protection) billed separately.
