Virtual Instances · $118.04/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD3-X4C-16G is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU plans for $5.94–$12.99/mo with better specs (NVMe storage, higher bandwidth), though the Scaleway plan's 16GB RAM is a genuine advantage if you need it. Renewal-price traps are endemic across the industry, so compare total 3-year cost, not just intro rates.
Cheapest option by far at $5.94/mo with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, and unlimited traffic (fair-use policy applies).
Caveat: Price is locked to 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more; ticket-only support on base tier; fair-usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth at $8.36/mo intro with 99.99% SLA and includes $60 Amazon gift card.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99–$15.99/mo; requires 36-month prepay for lowest intro price; domain and privacy add-ons renew at full price after year 1; aggressive upsell prompts at checkout.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic at $8.50/mo with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge ~$0.039/vCore/hour; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; Object Storage has retrieval fees and minimum storage durations.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer included at $9.99/mo with 99.9% SLA and no long-term lock-in required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond regional pool (20TB EU, as low as 0.5–1TB in USA/Singapore); recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (2.1–2.75x in June 2026).
Matches Scaleway's 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU at $12.99/mo intro with 200GB NVMe, 16TB transfer, AMD EPYC, weekly backups, and 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $28.99/mo (2.2x); requires 12/24/48-month prepay for intro rate; monthly billing available but much higher per-month; free domain only year 1; weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
