Virtual Instances · $1887.05/mo (256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD3-X64C-256G at $1887.05/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Multiple providers offer 128GB RAM / 32 vCPU configurations at $200-$630/mo with better specs, lower hidden costs, and active support. Even accounting for renewal traps and setup fees, you can save 70-90% by switching.
48 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 3.84TB NVMe for $199/mo - nearly 10x cheaper than Scaleway with better CPU and storage, plus 20TB included EU traffic.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; VAT not included in quoted price; traffic overages charged per GB outside EU pool.
32 vCPU, 128GB DDR5 RAM, 3TB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth at $312/mo with 99.99% SLA - strong value for the price.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-3x after intro term; requires 36-month commitment for lowest advertised rate; domain and privacy add-ons auto-renew at full price after year one.
32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, unlimited traffic at EUR 399/mo (~$431 USD) - excellent specs with no bandwidth caps.
Caveat: Price assumes 24-month prepaid term; 1-month and 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage; ticket-only support on base tier.
16 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 960GB NVMe RAID1, fully managed at $399/mo - lower core count but fully managed and US-based.
Caveat: Price is estimated with high-confidence specs; renewal rates 2-3x intro; dedicated server pricing not published - requires sales call; US data centers only.
32 vCPU, 128GB RAM fixed preset at $502.56/mo with 99.99% SLA - simpler pricing than building-block competitors.
Caveat: Renewal pricing 2-6x higher after promo period; additional IPv4 addresses $6/month each; outbound data transfer $0.036/GB after 2TB free; Windows licensing adds per-vCPU surcharge.
