Stay Away from Contabo

sscaz · Oct 4, 2023

Tried their VPS a year ago, and it was the shittiest VPS after Hostinger; now I bought it once again and made the same mistake; their top package, and it's even worse than back then; anyway, there it is for anyone who wants to buy their VPS. Just stay away from them; they don't care about their customers. Absolute waste of my time

Even fkin wordpress dashboard won't load how slow they are, SSH is slow as well, can't even back up my progress i've did last 2 days, i just broke my headphones as i banged them on floor how annoyed i am

I use Hostarmanda, and their customer service is excellent. I have been with many hosting companies, and what keeps me with them is their support and professionalism.

but are they not one of the best go to for SMTP servers and email marketing (not counting hard to find private hosting/vps services)

I haven't used them personally but what's your opinion on that are they still good for email marketing and SMTP servers anyone still using them for this

Contabo is fine if you are not running anything serious, their only selling point is that they sell insane configs for small prices, but they of course oversell everything, ram, cpu, storage... so you are maybe getting 8gb RAM for 6E on paper, but in reality god knows how much people are fighting for that same RAM
you get what you pay

I've learnt my lesson for second time as @BassTrackerBoats said, i will be trying IONOS now, as they have competitive prices for high resources and i've heard some good things about them

hideath · Oct 4, 2023

I've been using it them for several years, with multiple VPS having multiple websites each,
May I ask which plan & location are you using?

hetzner is also a good alternative one of my friends uses them a lot for hosting few websites
they have very similar pricing compare to contabo might want to check them out

Webspace Package is not VPS. It is web hosting with cPanel just like Name cheap.

By far hetzner beats all the vps provider I ever tried including Microsoft, vultr and digital ocean. The pricing is unbelievable cheap for such a brilliant easy to use service

€4.51/mo for a VPS, not a single provider that offers better pricing that isn't oversold garbage.

Pretty strange,
I usually go with Debian, aapanel, OLS server side,
With WP rocket & good theme and I'll end up with pretty fast website
