Scaleway is owned by Iliad. Iliad also owns Online.net. Online.net is Kimsufi's (OVH) main competitor: - €8.99/mo: Intel Avoton C2350 (2x 1.7 Ghz), 4GB ECC RAM, 1x 1TB HDD or 1x 120GB SSD. 1Gbit/s unlimited. - €15.99/mo: Intel Avoton C2750 (8x 2.4 Ghz), 16GB ECC RAM, 1x 1TB HDD or 1x 250GB SSD. 2.5Gbit/s unlimited. I have one of the latter ones, and it's amazing. The only problem I have with it is that the bandwidth between Online.net and my ISP in Denmark goes through NL-IX, and something there doesn't jive. Even though the server can easily hit the 2Gbit/s mark, I'm barely hitting 3Mbit/s from home due to the NL-IX pipe being overloaded. I'm using a proxy at OVH (Kimsufi), which at least gives me 100Mbit/s (the peering to OVH goes through HE). Edit: If you're wondering why there are so many HDD servers available vs the SSD ones, it's because they have been hit by a fan-of-death issue. They have fans in their PSUs that vibrate so much (or maybe hit the resonance frequency of the racks) that prevent the HDDs from spinning up. Online still "sells" those broken racks, even though they have dozens if not more servers impacted by this. The problem has been ongoing since November 2016 [1].
