To cheap for scaleway, so it needs to go.
One of the cheapest dedis you still had as option.
Looks like there are no comparable small ARM servers?
It's funny because they still honor this after so many years..
Well, wait no more, the end is near.
I bet that this year you gonna see a juicy price hike.
The did hiked the previous 1.99, hence the warning before ordering.
Ikoula has RPi4 available and @DataIdeas-Josh has some.
It's not "so" many years for that 1.99 offer, only about 1.5 years so far: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/160448/2-99-10-setup-fee-dedi/p1
They promised so definitely that there won't be a price hike, so more likely it will just end like this C1, when they decide to decommission these old 2-core Atoms with 4GB RAM from their lineup.
I still remember how it all started in labs. The C1 was the first server they offered. Now they cut their roots. There is nothing special about Scaleway anymore.
Adieu Scaleway!
There will always be a special place in everyone’s heart for offline.net.
We offer RPIs through https://RPiServers.com that are ARM based.
Thank you for the mention @Neoon
It was not. Scaleway is just a rebranding of Online.net, and Online.net has been offering dedicated servers since at least 2010, the usual x86 ones.
There never really was, unless you count that someone actually thought it's a good idea to throw away such a brand as Online.net, in favor of something much less prominent and more generic.
The C1 was the first product offered under the Scaleway brand.
Prior to that, Online.net was pretty much exclusively dedicated servers, but I guess they figured they needed to change to cash in on the 'cloud' hype. Their shtick was that they'd offer small dedicated servers in a cloud-like environment (I think they called it 'physicalization' or something similar) instead of virtual servers that every other cloud provider offers, hence the small C1 nodes.
Obviously this hasn't really worked in their favor, so now they're largely just yet-another-AWS-wannabe.
I think they just saw a way to recycle all of that trash hardware that was failing or about to fail. Slap a virtualization layer on that server graveyard and call it a cloud.
Still, it's sad that Scaleway is not special. It's just another cloud provider, and personally, I liked the Online.net brand more, but maybe naming is all about tastes.
Popular opinion perhaps, but I don't think they ever had ARM servers before Scaleway (and the C1 didn't have any virt layer).
Your statement is probably more accurate with their Kidechire sales, and possibly their C2 (Atom based) lineup.
Takes too long to setup. Almost 24 hours and still no delivery.
Can't wait to idle eh?
Naah.. Initially I just wanted to quick test before my actual Raspberry Pi arrive today. So there is no point anymore to wait for ikoula (slow) service.
And that's not buying to idle?
Nope, requested a cancellation
Usually its deployed on working days quite quick.
They refunded, but also delivered the server at the same time.. well 🤷🏻♂️
