Scaleway VPS

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

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

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.

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.

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.

Reasons for choosing Scaleway

Much cheaper than alternative products.

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.

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.

Pros:

1. Scaleway network is very good and high speed. ~800 Mbps upload and download speed 2. Full IPv6 support with PTR 3. Additional IP and IP block purchase option 4. FTP backup

Cons:

1. Setup fee 2. Support response becomes slow after first response 3. IPv6 via DHCPv6. Need complex setup. However, works fine if done correctly 4. Can't split IPv6 block to more number than the IPv4 you have 5. Product must be cancelled by 20th of the month if user wish. Otherwise it will be billed for the next month

Reasons for choosing Scaleway

Yes. For dedicated server I always chose Scaleway Dedibox over OVH, Hetzner etc. However, for VPS hetzner is chepaer than Scaleway cloud.
