Is there any way to test out Scaleway without having to give them a credit card number with a potential infinite bill?
I did test them out a while ago. My impressions are here: https://www.amon.cx/blog/scaleway-vs-digitalocean-and-deploy...

You can try with http://instantcloud.io

#13RAM, SSD storage, bandwidth, IO are still shared. It's pretty much a VPS, not dedicated.
The bandwidth is capped far below the max I assume, does that not provide a stable 200 mbit for everyone?

RAM and CPU are NOT shared.

#15Nitpicking the submission title ("ARM7 dedicated servers for 3.40 per month"): ARM7 is actually very old ARM cores running ARMv4; these servers are ARMv7.

#17I've just signed up for one of these instances - here are some speed tests/stats/details, if anyone's interested: https://gist.github.com/JosephRedfern/57c81ac95bf4f1175e3e
If you'd like anything in particular running, let me know and I shall oblige when I can!

#18The submission title really should include a dollar to indicate which currency is meant. Also, for non-corporate customers in Europe, VAT should be added. The VAT-inclusive price is €3.59 (for 4 ARM cores, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB SSB disk, and one IP with 200 Mbps unmetered bandwidth). This is the VAT-inclusive number from the site, which is using French VAT (20%). Here in Sweden it'd be 25%, it seems. :|
For european union based users without a valid EU VAT number, VAT must be added based on the VAT rate in the users own country, not always french VAT at 20%. Ie we pay 25% here in DK. This is due to the new rules that went into effect 1 January 2015: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/how_vat_wo...
I concur. Rules and rates are summarized here: https://github.com/kdeldycke/vat-rates

Unlikely...If there are 912 blades per server it would require 20Gbps of dedicated capacity per server. Having played around with Scaleway servers, they have at least a two cabinets of these servers (10-20 servers).
Online.net's total network capacity is in the realm of 1Tbps.
They would have to dedicated anywhere from 20-40% of their network capacity if they were to guarantee 200mbit

Is it possible to physically buy these servers? All the info indicates that you can just get instances, just like the rest of the server farms.
