Virtual Instances · $85.48/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD2-A4C-16G is end-of-life and overpriced at $85.48/mo for 4 vCPU/16GB RAM. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU/8GB RAM plans for $5.94-$12.39/mo with comparable or better specs, though most carry steep renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins that should be factored into long-term cost.
Cheapest option by far at $5.94/mo for 4 vCPU/8GB RAM with 100GB SSD and unlimited traffic, saving $79.54/mo versus Scaleway.
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepaid term; shorter terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
4 vCPU/8GB DDR5 RAM with 200GB NVMe and unmetered bandwidth at $8.36/mo intro rate, plus $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month prepay for lowest price; domain and add-ons incur hidden upsells.
4 vCPU/8GB RAM with 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, and unlimited traffic at $8.50/mo with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge applies; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
4 vCPU/8GB RAM with 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer, and 99.9% SLA at $9.99/mo, with no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage charged per GB beyond regional pool; recent large price increases on other product lines signal potential future hikes.
4 vCPU/8GB RAM with 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s, and 99.99% SLA at $11.50/mo.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after contract period; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB free pool is metered.
