Virtual Instances · $118.04/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD3-X4C-16G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to current market alternatives. Multiple providers offer 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM instances for $5.94-$12.39/mo with better specs (NVMe storage, higher bandwidth), though the Scaleway plan does include 16GB RAM which few competitors match at this price point. If you need exactly 16GB RAM, options are limited; if 8GB suffices, you can save 85-93% by switching.
Cheapest option with 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD, and unlimited traffic; effective rate on 24-month contract.
Caveat: Shorter contract terms (1-12 months) cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; ticket-only support on base tier.
4 vCPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, plus $60 Amazon gift card promo; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-4x after intro term (e.g. $9.99-$15.99/mo); requires 36-month contract for lowest advertised price; domain and add-ons incur hidden fees after year one.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backup included, unlimited traffic; 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, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included, excellent value for high-traffic workloads; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool (as low as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore); recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (up to 2.75x).
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; 99.99% SLA matches Scaleway's reliability.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal is 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.
