Virtual Instances · $1470.36/mo (256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD2-A64C-256G at $1470.36/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM / 32 vCPU configurations for $200-$500/mo, and even 256GB RAM options exist for under $400/mo, making this plan 3-7x more expensive than viable replacements.
Dedicated server with 128GB RAM, 48 vCPU, and 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo - nearly identical performance at 7x lower cost.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price.
Matches your 256GB RAM spec exactly with 32 vCPU (16 OCPU) for $350.40/mo, saving $1120/mo versus Scaleway.
Caveat: Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; Enhanced OKE control plane adds $74.40/mo; Archive Storage has 90-day minimum retention penalty.
32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic for $430.92/mo with 99.90% SLA.
Caveat: Price is effective rate on 24-month contract; shorter terms cost more; fair usage policy may throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.
32 vCPU, 128GB DDR5 RAM, 3TB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth for $312.19/mo with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price increases steeply after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest price; domain and privacy add-ons become paid after year one.
16 vCPU (2x AMD EPYC 7252), 128GB RAM, 960GB RAID1 NVMe, fully managed for $399/mo.
Caveat: Price is estimated with high-confidence specs; renewal rates 2-3x intro; dedicated pricing not published, requires sales call; US data centers only.
