VC1S EOL after 10Y, Scaleway kills the SKU. Need 0-rated CF egress

rpqurpqu Member

Got the deprecation notice on March 2026 — Scaleway is killing the VC1*, Start1* line end of May. Mine's been chugging along for 3675 days on ~€3-4/mo, so I can't complain about the run. Now, I need a replacement and finding zero-rated CF egress at this price is harder than I expected.

Current box:
2c,2g,50GB nvme. BW: 200mbps unmetered

Hard requirements:
- 1c,1g.20-50GB nvme
- 1 IPv4 included
- less than €5/m

Critical requirements:
- >100mbps unmetered to internet
- zero-rated/private-peered CF — SCW currently gives ~500mbps to CF node

Nice to have: Block storage, cheap inhouse S3, rescue mode/console

Please tell me if you know provider that fits my requirement. I'm willing to commit for 10Y with yearly payment and optional extension to 100Y with 10Y upfront

    In 10Y from now those specs will be considered free to low tier, like the plans TierHive has now. Imagine what €5/m got you 10 years ago compared to what is standard now.
    Well, your deal was an exception but we don't count rare promos.

    No spec change means no price change. Price increases means the spec must be increased too.

    Since you did not specify location, Why not Servarica's Slice ?
    CPU - 2 cores Dedicated
    RAM - 2 GB
    NVMe - 60 GB Disk
    Bandwidth - Unlimited 250mbps +1mbps daily till 1gbps max (or)
    10gbps upto 6TB then 10mbps unlimited
    1 IPv4 Included
    4$/m

    EDIT : If you can live with low specs, still stock on those online dedi's for 5 euros..

    Hmm, that's good spec. Maybe I should ask whether @servarica_hani is peered with CF and doesn't mind if I moved TBs around.
    Hmm, the traffic gone through cogent... No direct peering.

    Online.net low spec dedi is good choice, if you want continue use Online.net/Scaleway DC.

    What about Gcore?

    Above of my budget of €5/m. The calculator keep showing above €10/month

    I could do with avoton. They're capable of pushing 700mbps, unlike those arm32. But I'm not sure whether they'll exist for the next 10, 20 years 😅

    OVH just a tad over budget with much better specs, no CF bandwidth alliance but I doubt they care about your bw usage unless it's HUGE, avoid local zones as they're shit

    Avotons they currently sell are listed as having 100 or 250 Mbit uplink. No idea if that's enforced. Prior revisions of the plans had full Gbit, some of us still have those.

    @rpqu said: Scaleway is killing the VC1*, Start1* line end of May.

    I wonder which Start1 you mean, because right now they continue selling multiple servers labeled as Start-1-(something).

    250mbps to internet and 1gbps within DC. But, even intra-dc congestion may occur. I remember vividly routing to CF was 0.6-0.8ms few years ago and now it's sub 1ms.

    Sorry, scaleway's 2018 Start* SKU.
