ProHoster vs Scaleway
Both appear in 4 sections: compute, object storage, egress, footprint. They are evenly matched.
Scaleway's STARDUST1-S at $0.50/month is the cheapest VPS in Pikkly's entire dataset, and it beats ProHoster at the very bottom. Above that one plan the comparison reverses sharply. Scaleway's DEV1-S is $7.61 for 2 vCPU and 2 GB, where ProHoster sells 2 vCPU and 2 GB for $2.60. At 4 GB, Scaleway's DEV1-M is $17.12 against ProHoster's $4.60. At 8 GB, Scaleway's BASIC2-A2C-8G is $29.25 against $5.90. So Scaleway owns the free-tier-adjacent entry point and ProHoster owns everything from 2 GB up. The difference in what you get is substantial. Scaleway is a French provider with EU data residency, its own data centres, a genuine cloud platform around the instances including object storage, managed databases and Kubernetes, and an API that behaves like a hyperscaler's. For a European company that needs GDPR jurisdiction it can point at in a contract, that matters more than the per-gigabyte price. ProHoster is a budget host: cheap capacity, 24 plans across OpenVZ and KVM, and no platform to speak of. The STARDUST plan is also heavily constrained and frequently unavailable, so treating it as Scaleway's real entry price overstates the case.
Pikkly earns nothing from Scaleway, and the ranking above is by price regardless.
