About Scaleway

We have not published our editorial assessment of Scaleway yet. This page exists so players who have hosted with them can start leaving reviews straight away — the community scores below are real, and they build up before our own write-up does.

If you have hosted a server with Scaleway, tell other players how it went.

What we still need to research

  • Data centre locations and the routes they give to European, North American and Oceanic players
  • Current entry pricing, and what the renewal price looks like after any introductory discount
  • CPU generation and clock speed on their game server nodes
  • Which control panel they use, and whether you get real file and console access
  • Backup policy: how many, how often, and whether restoring one costs money
  • Refund window and how it is applied in practice
  • Support response times on a weekday and at 3am on a Sunday

Good ping for a group spread across Europe

Our group is split between the UK, Germany and Poland, so somebody always used to get a bad deal. The location options here meant we could land somewhere that put everyone under 40ms, which has made a noticeable difference to how the game feels. Uptime has been fine, and the two tickets I have opened were answered the same day. Price is middling. I would pay it again for the routing alone.

Fine at 4pm, unplayable at 9pm

Classic oversold node behaviour. During the day it was perfectly good, and every evening at peak the tick rate collapsed regardless of what we were doing. I spent weeks convinced it was our plugins. It was not — the same setup on a different provider runs fine on less memory. Support were friendly and completely unable to help, because the answer was that the machine had too much on it.
