📄 Editorial Review
Contabo is a long-established German hosting provider, founded in 2003 under the name Go-International before adopting the current brand in 2013. Known for its emphasis on German quality and global availability, the company has grown into a large-scale provider serving over 200,000 customers across 190 countries. While its original product lineup included shared hosting, as of 2025, shared hosting is no longer offered, with the focus shifted towards high-performance cloud and dedicated infrastructure.The company maintains separate platforms for domestic and international markets: contabo.de for German customers and contabo.com for the global audience. It has built its reputation on delivering affordable hosting solutions without compromising on performance through hardware standardization, large-scale procurement, and operational efficiency.
Contabo provides its services in English, German, and Spanish, appealing to a broad international audience. Pricing is available in EUR, USD, and GBP, giving customers flexibility based on their location and preferred currency.
In recent years, Contabo has adjusted its product strategy by discontinuing shared hosting—which was still available in 2022—and now focuses primarily on VPS and dedicated server solutions, reinforcing its position in the performance-focused hosting market.

- Cloud VPS – High-performance virtual private servers with AMD EPYC processors, fast NVMe storage, generous bandwidth (32 TB outgoing, unlimited inbound), private networking, DDoS protection, and provisioning within minutes.

- Cloud VDS (Virtual Dedicated Servers) – Dedicated virtual environments for workloads requiring higher performance and isolation, with full root access and flexible scaling.
- Dedicated Servers – Bare metal machines with customizable storage (HDD, SSD, NVMe), optional GPU acceleration (NVIDIA GeForce/Tesla), high traffic allowances, and hardware virtualization support.

😠 **Daylight Robbery**
Do not host your public sites on Contabo server, they have the worst TTBF ever in the market. They also have weird policies. I paid for a year, cancelled on their dashboard within 14 days, waited 8-10 days for refund, but did not receive a refund. Upon reaching out to customer care, they said their policy states that just cancellation is not enough, the customer has to send them a refund request in a prescribed format either via a mailed letter, a fax, or email. C'mon, which year are they living in?
Anyhow I lost the money 1 year subscription money. They lost a customer forever. I still have my ERP instance running on contabo. I am waiting for the contract period to end to switch back to GCP.
Here is the story about TTBF.
On recommendation from an ERP consultant, we moved our ERP from Google Cloud VM to a Contabo server. Everything seemed fine. But few of our employees complained that the ERP has become a bit slower. I dint give it much concern.
Later that month, we decided to move our public wordpress site to contabo's server. Our website have a very minimum traffic, approximately 1000 to 2000 vistors per month. But the website was loading very slow. When we checked the GTMetrix it showed that TTBF was above 3500 ms. Originally our total load time used to be only 280 ms. To make sure it is not an issue with our theme and plugins, we tried a plain installation of wordpress on contabo, digital ocean and google cloud. All on their chepest servers. Digital ocean and google cloud servers selected for testing was on a fraction of the specification of contabo servers. We discovered that there was some real issues with Contabo server, because DO and Google Cloud was delivering TTBF below 80 ms. I read online and found that this was a common issue with Contabo and they were also throttling disk IO. It was hardly 5 to 7 days since we purchased the server and I had read that they had a 14 days refund policy. We had paid for an entire year. We immediately cancelled the services and waited for the refund to happen. It never happened.

😠 Contabo is a Very Bad Service Provider.
They have Just Low Price and have Zero Value of Data.
One of my Server from Contabo has made ofline by the Contabo Team by telling that, their is some Technical Error.
but, after 6 hours, they sent an Email Stating that, their Server has Crashed and Whole Data Have Lost.
They are Not Giving any Compensation, but Just Sending apology Emails.
If you Host on Contabo, Think 10 Times!

😠 Do not use contabo.com - these provider will lockdown your server, will suspend the network and did not handover your databack. Pure scam, pure shit. Avoid contabo.com at all cost; Rather save your life with hostseo.com - I have moved from conabo shit to hostseo.com to save my life.
