unlimited bandwidth. Is that for real? 300 Mbits. Let's assume you can pump out 100 Mbit sustained. That is about 10 MB/s. or 26,000,000 Megabytes/month. 26,000 GB / month. AWS & google cloud are about $.10/GB. That'd cost 2600 USD to serve. Scaleway claims that'd cost just 12 euro. For realz?
I have a 3€ C1 server at Scaleway moving some 25-30TB of data per month, so yes, it's very real.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's what scares me a bit. The multi-core performance is great (considering their pricing), but single-threaded performance is quite a bit below what the competition gets you. If you're running a web server with something single-threaded (like PHP) requests might start taking a bit longer than you're used to.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can spin up multiple PHP worker processes to take advantage of those cores?
It'd be nice if Docker was supported out of the box. I don't want to be pissing around with kernels just to test them out.
what is the problem with kernel? very curious as I would need Docker myself if I was going to use them
If you want even more affordable (but lower performance), http://lowendspirit.com/
I would be careful with them. I've bought couple VPSes there and there was always an issues. In one instance provider vanished after 3 months, in another one VPS is still live but it's terrible slow (high ping latency). I am not complaining much because I paid for them ~$7/year (yes, thats year) but still, the same companies offer more expensive options and I wouldn't risk data lost. Use DigitalOcean, I think its ver…
I tried Scaleway last year. I was very disappointed with the usability of their offering (I was trying to run a simple Ubuntu Minecraft server - it was unnecessarily complicated to set up everything from ssh keys to snapshots), and stopped the account quickly. That very next day and for the first time ever my card picked up a fraudulent $3000 bar bill in Las Vegas. I don't think it was a coincidence. I cannot recomme…
How exactly is Scaleway (European company) related to some fraudulent bar bill in Las Vegas? And you didn't say what was wrong with their service.
I was just expecting a low cost (6$/month) 4cores ARM64 server with 8gb of ram, I think it would have been more exciting !

Prices seem really great but a few paragraphs down they say the servers are based on Avoton SoCs. Intel Avoton is an Atom chip (Silvermont core), so CPU-bound performance will be somewhat lower than the usual Sandy Bridge/Haswell/whatever core that you get on AWS or Google Compute Engine. It's a server SoC though so I/O throughput is probably pretty decent...

C1 is a good idea and works well especially while arm distro are maturing. IMHO C1 perfs are quite good for the price (700-900 tps on pg_bench, 1500 req/s on rabbitmq on debian). We are running an ELK server which is performing well enough for us even with 2gb of ram.

In case anyone doesn't spot it the closest is this:
> Our Starter VPS comes with 2GB of ram, 2 x86-64 Cores, > 50GB of LSSD and 200 Mbit/s of unmetered bandwidth. > It's available at the insane price of €2.99 per month > or €0.02 per hour.
