Sooooooo still not as good as scaleway, apparently?

  Depends on where you live. Ping times to Scaleway from me are ~100 ms, and to my DO machine, about 3 ms. Were I located in Amsterdam instead of New York, it would be the other way around.

  I just read about scaleway, and it seems like death by a thousand cuts, in that they nickel/dime you for every small thing. It doesn't seem straight forward to figure out how much it actually costs per month since the quoted price on the homepage doesn't seem to include, for example, the cost of having an IP assigned to the VPS..

    In the pricing page, the lowest tier says that it includes one IP address. If they're charging you for that, I would say it's misleading.

    It does include it, actually. The cost breakdown is not totally clear when you have not seen the bill yet, but,it's not too difficult. They list the ARMv7 board C1 as €3/month. It breaks down to: - €1 for the actual machine - €1 for the 50GB LSSD (obviously it is required to boot) - €1 for the IP address (obviously not counting VAT) Now, the €1 does not appear out of thin air, and in fact you are billed an hourly rate initially, for each of those resources. However, at the end of the month, you get billed whichever is cheaper between the time*hourly rate and the monthly rate (which is €1). You can also deallocate the IP address if you don't need it. (source: I’m a scaleway customer, and I believe that kind of information is available inside deeply nested FAQ pages somewhere on their website)
