Is Scaleway's STANDARD2-A4C-16G the best deal?

Matches your 4 vCPU/16GB RAM exactly at 1/6 the price, includes 200GB NVMe and 16TB transfer, with weekly backups and 1 Gbps port.

Caveat: Renewal jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); requires 12/24/48-month prepay for intro rate; only weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.

8GB RAM/4 vCPU/240GB NVMe at $11.50/mo with unlimited traffic and 99.99% SLA, no licensing surcharges unlike Scaleway.

Caveat: Intro pricing only; renewal is 2-6x higher; outbound traffic beyond 2TB free pool is metered at $0.036/GB; does not include the extra 8GB RAM you currently have.

8GB RAM/4 vCPU/80GB SSD at $9.99/mo with 20TB transfer included and 99.9% SLA; no Windows licensing or storage snapshot surprises.

Caveat: Does not include the extra 8GB RAM; traffic overages billed per GB outside EU (as low as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore); prices exclude VAT.

8GB RAM/4 vCPU/75GB NVMe at $8.50/mo with 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and unlimited traffic; no hidden storage snapshot fees.

Caveat: Does not include the extra 8GB RAM; IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge $0.039/vCore/hour if needed; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.

8GB RAM/4 vCPU/100GB SSD at $5.94/mo with unlimited traffic and 200 Mbit/s port; lowest absolute price on the list.

Caveat: Price is effective rate for 24-month prepay only; shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
