Anyone has experience with Scaleway and their Dedibox VPS
I’m considering Scaleway as my main cloud provider, as I’d like to move away from US-based companies and toward EU providers. Part of that is also a personal choice: as an EU citizen, I feel I should support European companies where possible.
At the moment, I also use some Hetzner servers, but for me their offerings don’t really qualify as a full cloud platform. Their services are quite limited, and I’ve also found their S3 storage to be unreliable.
I’ve signed up for trials with a few other EU cloud providers, including UpCloud, but their service portfolio also feels fairly basic.
OVH probably has the widest range of offerings, but I’m not a fan of their UI. Their VPS pricing looks attractive, but I’m always a bit skeptical when it’s very cheap, especially when they don’t clearly state which CPUs are being used. In my experience, that often means older hardware.
That led me to Scaleway. Their UI feels clean and modern, and they offer enough services that I’d genuinely consider them a proper cloud provider. Their pricing also seems reasonable compared to providers like Gcore. From what I can tell, they also offer premium CPU options, while still having cheaper instance types at attractive price points.
So I’m curious: what has your experience with Scaleway been like?
P.S.
Please, no Hetzner recommendations in this post. In my view, Hetzner isn’t really comparable to a true cloud provider.
