Yes but sadly very expensive when compared to Linode or Digital Ocean.

I'm not sure I understand the claim that we are "very expensive" :)

Linode 4Gb -> 30$/month Exoscale Medium (4Gb) -> 34$/month.

However exoscale is ISO certified, will handle european VAT, and let you scale storage independently. We also don't overcommit our servers so you actually get what you pay for.

Sure, if you need an absolute minimum cost VM in an non-enterprise setting, you'll find cheaper at American companies. Nobody will dispute that :)

Disclaimer: SSWE at exoscale.

No need to leave EU for the absolute minimum cost, with Hetzner nearby and others.

Exoscale has the best support and privacy of any of the cloud providers. They also offer more enterprise features like prepaid accounts (with proper invoices!) that Linode doesn't offer.

We've used their services happily and would recommend them to others.

We have been caught in the middle of a big screw-up Exoscale did - they managed to rebuild a RAID array wrong, and lost all data of one of our boxes. This said, they have been very open and quick to respond and explaned what happened in great detail, so we will keep on using their services.
