Overview

What is Contabo?

Contabo is legendary in the VPS community for one reason: More RAM and CPU for less money. This German provider consistently undercuts the market, offering heavy-duty VPS plans at prices that seem impossible.

While they don't offer fancy managed services or cloud extras, if you need raw computing power (e.g., 32GB RAM for cheap), Contabo is the undisputed king. It's built for those who know how to manage a server.
