Not only that, but their suggested migration path (without a complete rebuild/rsync) [1] from bare-metal to an VPS was very painful and actually broke two VPS-instances. In the end it didn't work and I only got my C2 to restart after 10 hours.
Their support was unhelpful and they charged me three days of runtime for the broken VPS and all storage used during my migration attempt (before the VPS were shutdown during routine maintainance, not due to my support ticket).
Besides that the migration from bare-metal forces you to use the second-most expensive VPS size because of 10GB storage difference.
I'm really pissed of at how they handled that situation and I'm migrating away from them as soon as possible, especially now with the price hike. I wanted to like them and gave them a more then fair chance but they've wasted it. I think I'll be migrating to Hetzner now.

A shame to see the cheapest dev VPS get such a price hike. This makes Scaleway far less enticing versus DigitalOcean or similar.
