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.

My experience with Scaleway

PROS

Ease of use when it comes to setup, scaling and installation, also the wide image library.

Network stability is one of the biggest issues I've had over the years of being a Scaleway customer, but I've seen it greatly improve over the last few months.

Reason for choosing Scaleway

Transparent and accessible pricing, very scalable and excellent support

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.

Scaleway VPS

From ordering to vps provisioning, everything is automized. Their customer service is also nice and friendly.

PROS

A all-in-one solution for server admins: high-quality vps with the lowest possible price, flexible IPs, free internal networking, S3 compatible object storage - combination of these can ease the development process significantly. ON top of these, I like their dedicated and free firewall where you can define custom rules based on port ranges and also IP ranges.

CONS

Previously, the dev-s server was very cheap. Now, due to increased R&D cost of Scaleway, this price became almost double which is understandable. But it would be nice if Scaleway provides a cheaper solution like it has before, maybe with a lower server configuration i.e. 1GB RAM or 512M RAM and 1 processor etc. I also want to see live server load for the latest 7-10 days minimum without installing any third-party software.

Reasons for switching to Scaleway

Better vps config with less price.

Reliable and inexpensive server farm, with excellent service

Overall, today I set up servers only on Scaleway. The service and prices are excellent. And the operation. Highly recommend :)

PROS

My favorite thing is that there is excellent deployment ease, including in the API, and that the prices are excellent + per hour If you did not use, you did not pay. That it's really comfortable for software developers who want to test and try all sorts of options without committing too much. In addition, they have a variety of complementary services, like their S3 service, physical servers, and more I must also mention their built-in firewall. The attacks are stopped even before reaching the server (of course the server has extra protection, but it helps that it is stopped before) and it is really comfortable and excellent.

CONS

Unfortunately, there is no option to build a server from ISO. And also lacks the option of installing a Windows server, which is really important sometimes. Plus, it would have been very nice if it was possible to increase the main HD instead of connecting an external HD

Reason for choosing Scaleway

I moved to Scaleway mostly because of simplicity of operation

Reliable Hosting for Cheap

Scaleway is a brilliant hosting platform for small hobbyist developers such as myself. It's super cheap and reliable.

PROS

Insanely cheap, it's much cheaper than competitors' hosting. Very reliable, have never had it go down on me except for one bug due to me mis-understanding an option. SSH key synchronisation between all instances is very useful.

CONS

I would prefer if the console was automatically setup, without needing to set a root password. This is not much of an issue though.

Reason for choosing Scaleway

Much cheaper than alternative products.

Great cloud solutions for small and larger business projects

PROS

Working with Scaleway has been a great experience for the last 4 years. Flexible deployments, fast provisioning of all services and great customer service are really making a difference for my business. Scaleway has recently accelerated its growth and you can see a lot of great innovations and new services being launched which are really exciting.

CONS

Some features were launched then suspended due to difficulties scaling the infrastructure. A good example of this is Object storage that was taken away for a long time before recently coming back.

Wide range of reliable and performant cloud services

PROS

Scaleway offers great cloud services at a fantastic price. I have used their cloud servers and object storage, their services are reliable, performant and easy to use. I also like that they have a wide variety of services that integrate very well for a 100% cloud infrastructure. Their support team is also fast to respond and was always able to solve my issues.

CONS

The only con I can think about is their payment methods, which are a bit restrictive. Some prepaid cards do not work and they do not offer other payment gateways, such as PayPal.

Un très bon hébergeur et Français

PROS

Ce qui est le plus plaisant, c'est la rapidité de déploiement. En quelques clics, il est possible de déployer des applicatifs automatiquement. De plus, l'écosystème Scaleway est très complet : quasi toutes les distributions sont disponibles et beaucoup d'applications pré-installées sont mises à disposition.

CONS

Un effort est à prévoir sur la durée de vie d'un produit. Certains produits sont supprimés de l'offre et deviennent obsolète sans possibilité de faire de migration. Les tarifs ont tendance à augmenter légèrement, même si ils restent inférieurs à certains concurrents.

Reasons for switching to Scaleway

PROS

La facilité d’utilisation de leur solution d’object storage m’a permis de rapidement l’intégrer dans l’ensemble de mes projets. Rapide et peu coûteux c’est un vrai plus pour stocker tous ses assets.

Guaranteed safety and performance

PROS

A customer recommended that we deploy and store the project data in a Scaleway object storage space. We have already used other solutions from other providers. However, we really liked the speed at which the data is transferred. Sharing information with our client's work team has become very efficient. Someone uploads a file and in less than 2 seconds another is already downloading it. It's amazing how fast the storage is processed and published. We deployed a Stardust VPS to install the project manager. We were a bit concerned about latency and database throughput. But we were not disappointed, the instance has done a good job so far.

CONS

Does not accept prepaid credit cards. Some services are not contracted definitively, without first testing them. We are concerned about exposing the data of our clients and ours. So we resort to testing the services by paying with prepaid credit cards from our technical team, and if everything has worked well, we contract the service. We only contracted with Scaleway because a client recommended this service to us. But normally we wouldn't have bought it without trying it.

ARM instances were the reason I wanted to go with Scaleway. With more and more ARM-based devices rolling out, having service instances running on ARM architecture is a big plus for any company.

The interface has gone through a few iterations but they never seem to quite hit the right one. I find it pretty difficult to navigate at this time.
