The best cloud solutions for any project you need

Scaleway offers high performance with affordable pricing ,which clearly makes the difference over all cloud services available.

PROS

Easy to self-provision services and with lower prices than the global competence.

CONS

For this last 3 years I've only faced issues with with instances being unresponsive three times, though this is an expected bevahiour in any cloud environment. Having Support team engaged provide a solution within few hours.

Reason for choosing Scaleway

Pricing and performance.

One of the best provider I ever used

A lot of improvements the last few years, reasonable prices, and top notch technology.

PROS

Everything is self-service, you can easily predict your bills, service is stable and customer support, on Slack, is awesome !

CONS

- Missing managed MongoDB hosting- That's it.

Reasons for switching to Scaleway

OVH has grown too fast, with the same staff, so ... A lot of downtimes, poor quality.

Lost all my data

Stay away if you're doing anything at all that you dont want to throw away.

PROS

While there is value for money, they lose your data at the drop of a hat.

CONS

Rebooted my server to find that all my data had been lost with no way to recover. This happened twice.

It is possible to grow with low costs

In my case I use scaleway to instantiate applications and hostings. By having low costs, I have been able to grow without having to invest large amounts of money, and feeling supported as the service has always been excellent.

PROS

I have used various VPS services and scaleway has fair instances that allow small businesses to grow. The console is excellent, it allows the customization of what is just and necessary. It has helped me to be able to increase my sales without having an excessive cost.

CONS

I think it would be nice to have databases at a slightly lower cost, for general use.

Reason for choosing Scaleway
