You get what you pay for — learned that the hard way
We tried Contabo for our startup's staging environment, attracted by the absurdly low prices. A VPS with 8 vCPUs and 30GB RAM for €8/mo sounds too good to be true — because it is.
The raw specs are real, but the underlying hardware is clearly oversold. Disk I/O is inconsistent — sometimes fast, sometimes painfully slow. Network performance varies wildly depending on the time of day.
Support is borderline non-existent. Our server went down on a Friday evening and we didn't get a response until Monday afternoon. No status page updates, no communication.
Setup fees for monthly billing are annoying too. We lasted 3 months before migrating everything to Hetzner. If you need specs for non-critical batch processing, maybe. For anything production? Stay away.

Contabo is one of my personal favourites for VPS hosting. I have used their reliable and wallet-friendly VPS Servers for about 4 years now.
