Scaleway Review 2026

We see Scaleway as very strong on features. It usually includes most things people need: free SSL, automatic backups, easy website setup, and good security like DDoS protection and malware scanning. Performance options such as SSD/NVMe, caching, and a CDN are commonly available. Important tools like staging (test site) and one-click restore are clear and easy to use, with fewer forced add-ons.

We consider Scaleway highly reliable. It is a well-known provider with a long track record, clear company information, and stable operations. It usually has a strong presence in many regions (or is a top local brand) and earns consistent trust from customers across major review platforms. Problems may happen, but communication and fixes are typically fast and professional.

We find Scaleway extremely user friendly. Setup is simple, the dashboard is clean, and common tasks (buying a plan, connecting a domain, installing WordPress, creating email) are easy. Tools like cPanel/Plesk, one-click install, staging, and auto SSL work smoothly, with clear guides and helpful error messages. Most users can manage hosting without technical help.

We rate Scaleway excellent for support. Help is available 24/7 via live chat and tickets (often also phone). Replies are fast, answers are clear, and issues are solved end-to-end (not just copy-paste). We also see strong knowledge base guides and good incident communication, so customers feel genuinely supported.

Scaleway is generally good value. Intro discounts are attractive, and the renewal price is still acceptable for the features you get. Some extras may cost more (premium backups, advanced security), but pricing is mostly transparent and competitive for the target market.

Discounts are real, easy to apply, and clearly explained (what plan, how long, and renewal price). Coupons work reliably at checkout, and key deals are not hidden behind long terms. We also see fair conditions—no confusing restrictions, and the promo still offers strong value after considering renewal pricing.

We score Scaleway at 5 when it shows strong transparency (clear legal entity, policies, and contacts), clean and consistent refund/SLA terms, a public status page, and mature handling of abuse/DMCA. Compliance and privacy practices are clearly explained (e.g., GDPR where relevant), and there are few “surprise” clauses.
