*📜 Plan description

Balanced plan with 6 vCPU cores that doubles storage compared with the entry tier: 100 GB NVMe (or 200 GB SSD). You also get 2 snapshots for safer change management, 32 TB outbound traffic with unlimited incoming, and no setup fee. Optional Auto Backup can be enabled from the lineup toggle. Full root access with your preferred OS lets you deploy app servers, control panels, or containers easily. “Credit back” promotion for new orders is highlighted; check terms. Smooth scaling to higher tiers or VDS is available when workloads grow.

Contabo’s refreshed VPS lineup emphasizes best price-to-performance with fast NVMe or SSD storage, generous traffic, transparent monthly pricing, and improvements shaped by customer feedback.

📄 Editorial Review

Contabo is a German cloud hosting and infrastructure provider founded in 2003 by Michael Herpich and Michael Bölke. The business started in Munich under the Go-International name, later became Giga-International, and adopted the Contabo brand in 2013.

The company’s international expansion accelerated after Oakley Capital invested in 2019. In June 2022, KKR became the majority investor in a transaction valued at approximately $1.2 billion, while Oakley retained a minority interest.

Contabo has grown from a regional German provider into an international infrastructure company serving more than 200,000 customers. Its systems host hundreds of thousands of virtual and physical servers, supported by a workforce in the 201–500 employee range.

Traditional shared hosting is no longer the main focus. The portfolio now centers on Cloud VPS, Storage VPS, Cloud VDS, Dedicated Servers, Windows Servers, GPU Cloud, Object Storage, domains, DNS management, backups, private networking, monitoring, firewalls, and one-click application deployment.

The standard Cloud VPS range combines AMD processors with either high-speed NVMe storage or larger SSD capacity. Even the entry-level configurations provide generous memory, storage, and traffic allocations compared with many similarly priced virtual servers. Root access, IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, unmetered incoming traffic, substantial outgoing traffic, DDoS protection, firewall management, reinstall options, and several operating-system choices are included.

These VPS plans work well for websites, development environments, databases, game servers, VPN gateways, remote desktops, mail systems, Docker containers, staging platforms, and small business applications. Linux distributions are available alongside Windows Server configurations for customers requiring Remote Desktop or Microsoft-based software.

Storage VPS packages follow the same virtual-server concept but prioritize disk capacity over raw compute performance. They are practical for backup repositories, file servers, media libraries, archives, synchronization services, and other workloads that need large SSD allocations without the expense of dedicated hardware.

Cloud VDS provides dedicated CPU resources, dedicated memory, NVMe storage, root access, and rapid provisioning. It fills the space between ordinary shared-vCPU hosting and a physical dedicated server. The service is suitable for databases, busy websites, software-development systems, production containers, and business applications that need more stable processing performance.

The Dedicated Server portfolio includes modern AMD Ryzen hardware with exclusive processor, memory, and storage resources. RAM, storage, operating systems, backup options, and control-panel licenses can be customized during ordering. These servers are appropriate for high-traffic websites, virtualization, databases, large online stores, private-cloud environments, and applications where predictable performance is essential.

Contabo also operates a specialized GPU Cloud platform using NVIDIA hardware such as the L40S and RTX 5000 PRO. These systems target artificial intelligence, machine learning, model inference, rendering, computer vision, scientific processing, and graphics-intensive applications. Dedicated and virtualized GPU options are available, with pricing oriented toward professional and commercial workloads.

The Object Storage platform is S3-compatible and includes free outgoing data transfer, encryption, scalable capacity, and compatibility with common S3 applications. It can be connected through AWS CLI, rclone, Cyberduck, s3fs, WinSCP, Nextcloud, and other compatible tools. Typical uses include backups, software distribution, media storage, application assets, archives, and log retention.

The Object Storage platform uses Ceph and supports individual objects up to 5 TB. API, bandwidth, bucket, and object limits apply, so organizations handling unusually intensive storage operations should confirm whether the default limits meet their requirements.

One-click deployment is available for applications including n8n, Nextcloud, WireGuard, GitLab Community Edition, Dokploy, Coolify, OpenClaw, Hermes AI, Paperclip AI, and Ollama-based AI environments. Deployment does not add a separate application installation charge, although the underlying VPS or VDS remains a paid service.

Domain registration and transfers are handled through the Customer Panel. Customers can manage nameservers, DNS records, domain contacts, redirects, and assignments to Contabo or external server addresses. Domains complement the infrastructure portfolio, although the company is now much more strongly focused on cloud servers than on conventional shared-hosting packages.

The website, ordering platform, help center, and customer account are available in English, German, and Spanish. Billing supports EUR, USD, and GBP, with available payment methods varying by currency and customer location.

Most Contabo infrastructure is self-managed. The company maintains the physical hardware, network, virtualization layer, and initial server availability, while customers remain responsible for operating-system administration, software installation, application configuration, security updates, backups, and troubleshooting inside the server.

😠 Do not make the same mistake I did. Contabo is a scam-level organization that lures you in with cheap prices but delivers an unusable service.

The "Business Account" Trap: They have found a legal loophole to steal your money. If you register as a "business" (even a small one), they unilaterally strip you of your 14-day right to revocation. Once you pay, your money is gone, even if the service doesn't work.

Unbearable Performance: I rented a VPS for accounting, and it is impossible to work. There is a 20-second delay for simple actions like moving a window. I provided video evidence to their support, and they simply ignored it, claiming "everything is fine on our end."

No Trial Period: They deliberately do not offer a trial. You are forced to buy "a pig in a poke." They know their hardware is oversold and congested, so they lock you in with a pre-payment and then refuse to refund.

Support is Useless: They use standard copy-paste replies to deny any issues. They don't care about your business or your lost time.

MY ADVICE: Save your nerves and money. Avoid Contabo at all costs. Go to Hetzner instead — they offer much better hardware, honest policies, and actual performance. Contabo is just a "black hole" for your budget. I am currently filing a chargeback through my bank to get my money back from these fraudsters.
