Twice in a span of 12 months a dedibox server has crashed beyond recovery. When you lose access to the server, you'd better also lose all hope, since the server is long gone.
After writing to the support team, you will get an answer such as:
"Indeed, it does not respond at all, either in normal mode or in rescue mode, the data on it is lost, because the type of chassis does not allow a physical intervention on your machine without cutting the neighbouring machines."
The only options they offer are "upgrade to another machine" (your data is also lost) or "request a refund". Shame.
Stay away from Online.net or Scaleway. Stay away from dedibox hosts. Get your business elsewhere.

Scam company
Scam company. Don’t trust them and don’t buy here! You can thank me later for saving your money and lot of headaches.

No support. Just money
They are limited my access to instances ( I have more than 15 server on it ).
I cannot use them but i should pay for them.
Trouble support and they are not answered even after more than 3 days.

Was given 100 Euro trial for 30 days - Ended badly
Was given 100 Euro trial for 30 days. After 24 hours I was asked to prove my identity, which I did via their automated service. That failed, I was then asked to provide the same information to their team via email. Before I got a chance to do this, my account was banned and I am now being told my account will remain banned and they cannot provide me with details as to why my account has been banned.
Service was great until they banned me for no reason. Not a company I would be comfortable dealing with in the future.

Scaleway....La honte du web
Scaleway....
Chaque fois que j'entend le nom de cette boutique, je serre les poings.
Scaleway est une entreprise qui vous considère comme un client tant que vous n'avez pas utilisé votre carte de crédit, ensuite vous êtes un otage, un compte de profit.
Scaleway... La honte du web.
Je suis dans une situation particulière. J'ai hérité de la gestion d'un compte client; un contrat dedibox, un serveur web à l'abandon bloqué sur une version PHP 7.3, un serveur de base de donnée instable sans aucune maintenance.
Le pire: l'assistance technique. Tout va bien sauf si vous avez besoin d'une réponse à une simple question. Le style est lisse, policé, vide, froid. En moyenne il faut reposer 3 ou 4 fois la même question pour obtenir un semblant de réponse, jamais satisfaisante, jamais claire et précise... C'est cependant, propre, courtois, froid comme la voix d'un répondeur automatique, vide et chronophage.
La grande ironie, les quidams qui répondent aux messages portent le titre de : Customer Excellence Specialist.
Quand on est face à ce type d'inventaire, on souhaite se sauver, fuir cette nasse d'incompétence, on se précipite sur une interface qui date des années 90 pour effectuer un transfert vers un prestataire qui respecte les codes.... Horreur!!! Ils sont encore capable de sévir. BLOCAGE...
La motivation du blocage... toujours la même... C'est devenu un réflexe, un bruit de fond... Quand vous voulez bloquer une démarche, un projet, une idée...On invoque la sécurité...
L'équation est magnifique. Scaleway n'assure aucune mise à jour, aucune maintenance , n'assure aucun suivi de qualité et pratique des procédures de blocage de nom de domaine au nom de la sécurité.
Cette boutiQUE EST UN VÉRITABLE DANGER POUR LA PROFESSION.

Too expensive to have this many bugs and issues
Scaleway used to be quite affordable, which allowed you to overlook the weird issues and struggles sometimes. But nowadays their prices are not competitive any more while all the issues remained!
Their VM instances (especially the cheaper DEV machines) are so insanely slow, but they're priced at similar prices as premium providers. A 4GB machine gives you 3.5GB usable ram, which is unacceptable that 0.5GB is lost due to "VM overhead" (No other provider lets you take this hit!). Their S3 offering is somewhat ok but absolutely not compliant, multipart uploads do NOT work unless your tooling understands their weird process for handling these.
I would absolutely stay away from scaleway nowadays, unfortunate what happened to them.

Augmentation des prix de 39%
Augmentation des prix pour un serveur que je paye depuis 7 ans et donc largement rentabilisé... initialement à 36 euros puis 42 puis 44 et maintenant 50 euros. Comment augmenter les prix de 39% en 4ans sans VRAI justification.
