Our verdict
Stackscale is a European bare-metal provider for teams that want dedicated hardware in a small set of home regions rather than the cheapest possible entry point. Its entry private cloud compute node is priced at €395 on monthly billing, which suits capacity planners with real workloads and not shoppers hunting for a trial.

Who it suits
- Teams in the Netherlands, ES and PT that want dedicated bare metal near their own market
- Regulated buyers who need ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 22301 on file
- Capacity planners who prefer a known monthly figure to a metered one
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers focused on entry price: SberCloud starts at RUB 23.75 and Aruba at €1.99, both below the entry plan here at €395
- Teams that want hourly billing: Stackscale bills on monthly terms
- Large GPU training jobs: the listed accelerator is NVIDIA Tesla T4
The company behind it
Headquartered in the NL and founded in 2012, Stackscale B.V. is the legal entity behind the service. Support is handled in-house on email and phone, so buyers talk to the company that runs the hardware rather than a reseller. The company profile is deliberately narrow, which suits longer contracts in its home market.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Stackscale plan cost?+
The entry plan is a private cloud compute node, priced at €395 on monthly billing. Because billing is a monthly commitment, that figure is the recurring one rather than a promotional opening rate. Network capacity on the entry node is 40 Gbps port speed, 20 Gbps Internet access.
Which countries do the data centers cover?+
Data centers sit in the Netherlands, ES and PT, 5 in total. The footprint is regional rather than worldwide, so buyers outside those areas usually pair Stackscale with another provider nearby. Sites are linked by the company's own core network with redundant interconnection between locations.
Can the bare metal run Linux and Windows?+
The bare metal range covers linux and windows. Server types are limited to bare metal, so there is no shared virtual machine tier to fall back on. Teams wanting a low cost trial or per hour billing should start with one of the alternatives listed here instead.
Which GPUs are available?+
GPU servers are offered with NVIDIA Tesla T4, and that is the only accelerator named. Predictable, but narrow: buyers training larger models should compare GPU hour rates across providers before they commit to a plan here.
What certifications does Stackscale hold?+
The certificates on record are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 22301. For regulated buyers those documents often decide the deal ahead of price, and the set spans quality, environment, continuity and information security scopes.
What support can I expect?+
Support runs on email and phone only, so urgent issues depend on email and phone response times. Teams that expect round the clock chat should pick a provider built for it and listed among the alternatives here.
How much does the object storage cost?+
Object storage is listed at €20 to €250 per GB per month, well above the site median of €0.01. Network capacity of 40 Gbps port speed, 20 Gbps Internet access keeps transfers inside the platform quick, but the storage line is the expensive part of the bill.
Is there a free trial or hourly billing?+
Billing models list monthly, so a node is a recurring monthly commitment rather than a pay per hour experiment. Teams that want to trial first usually start smaller on a virtual machine elsewhere. The bare metal range carries an uptime commitment of 99.9%.
