Yes, Scaleway is just fine. I have an Observium install on it.
i donot know about the uptime. so just wanted to check.
$ uptime
05:15:06 up 422 days, 20:09, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
I just signed up but I'm after a month so far, I'm going to probably pay yearly for the service I have the Observium install running on.

just curious, what you run on that machine. Is it good enough (stable) for some low-traffic wordpress sites?
Yup, it's currently running some sites including static, WordPress, grav and some other scripts. Besides, there's redis as well.
It's good enough and I haven't faced any issue.
I guess one important point would be what kind of servers that is. Dedicated or virtual? And what @rush0143 is looking for.
Besides, these numbers are not necessarily extremely meaningful, as they only show that the machines (respectively the host - if it is a virtual environment) have not been rebooted for 14 and 8 months respectively*) - they could have been still unreachable for quite a while if there were network issues.
No offence, I am not saying the machine's uptime is completely meaningless but it only shows how long that machine has not been rebooted, not how good the service is. Incidentally it is also an indicator how long low-level services havent been patched

I've also been monitoring this from outside. There's a total of 2 downtime both 1-2 minutes. Also, that's due to my webserver restarts.
I am two months with Scaleway and use an external ping monitor tool for my 4 VC1S instances. No downtime detected so far.
The storage is not reduntant so i wouldnt store any important data on it without proper backup in place.
they are great , too bad doesn't have a yearly plan and doesn't accept paypal
Thanks for the answer
Actually I've registered on the scaleway, but I have not tried because I've been too comfortable using another provider. Which €2.99 plan is better? BareMetal SSD, Virtual SSD or ARMv8 Virtual SSD?
I've only used virtual ssd. Bare metal doesn't looks promising
Yes, I have a server with them since last 1 year didn't face any major issue till now..
They're alright
Total budget provider with a bit of a naff network at times (drop is speed is fairly common, full outage is rare).
Hardware is generally solid though, I've never used their VPS service so can't comment on that (for the price difference, I'd rather have dedicated hardware)
I have their bare metal arm server (3 euro/m) and it's no performance champ but it's a unique offering.
Scaleway is nice.
Give it a shot, see how it goes. Overall I only hear not-negative things about them.
custom built Monitoring applications.
Scaleway is really good, but theses CPU are really slow, if you don't have intensive CPU task to run, I really recommend you this hosting service
