Virtual Instances · $1421.31/mo (192 GB RAM, 48 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD3-X48C-192G at $1421.31/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Dedicated servers from Hetzner, Contabo, and Leaseweb offer comparable or superior specs (48 vCPU, 128GB RAM) for 86-81% less, though they trade some flexibility for fixed hardware.
48 vCPU, 128GB DDR5 ECC RAM, up to 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo - nearly identical compute to Scaleway at one-seventh the price.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; traffic overages beyond 20TB EU pool billed per GB; VAT not included in quoted price.
24 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic for $214.92/mo on 24-month term - half the vCPU but half the price and no bandwidth surprises.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.
24 vCPU (dual EPYC 7413), 128GB RAM, 1.92TB SSD, 99.9% SLA for $276.33/mo - enterprise-grade hardware at one-fifth Scaleway's cost.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; delivery time 1-5 days depending on stock; 24 vCPU vs Scaleway's 48 vCPU.
32 vCPU, 128GB DDR5 RAM, 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 99.99% SLA for $312.19/mo - strong specs and highest SLA in this tier.
Caveat: Renewal price increases steeply after intro term; requires 36-month commitment for lowest advertised rate; domain and add-ons have hidden annual charges.
32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB transfer, 100% uptime SLA for $532/mo - managed service with highest published SLA.
Caveat: Price is promotional (often 50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing significantly higher; bandwidth overages and storage add-ons billed separately.
