Pros

  • + Spec-per-dollar is hard to beat (8GB RAM from €5.50)
  • + Unlimited traffic (fair use) on all plans
  • + Many global locations
  • + 14-day revocation window

Cons

  • − Headline price requires a 24-month term; shorter terms cost more
  • − Port speed is capped per tier (200Mbit on entry); China routes unoptimized
  • − Community reports CPU steal / unstable performance

Background

Founded in Germany in 2003 (originally GigaHosters), Contabo is famous for maxing out specs per euro — 8GB RAM from €5.50 is perennially the industry floor — across VPS, VDS, dedicated and object storage lines in many global locations.

Network & Routes

Ordinary international transit, no China optimization; unmetered traffic (fair use) with per-tier port caps: 200Mbit at entry up to 600Mbit-1Gbit — the 'unlimited' model trades total volume for port speed.

Community Reputation

Loved by spec hunters and equally known for controversy: 2026 LowEndTalk threads routinely flag CPU steal and unstable performance, with community picks shifting to Hetzner/Netcup for consistency. Fine for storage/bulk workloads that tolerate variance.

After-Sales Policies

Refund policy 14-day money-back
Within the first 14 days you can submit a revocation request for a refund (official help docs, verified 2026-10); after that refunds are effectively unavailable, with users reporting only partial negotiated amounts.

Contabo Cloud VPS 4: 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 100GB SSD / 200Mbit port, €5.50/mo (24-month term price)

  • ✓ €5.50/mo = 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD
  • ✓ Unlimited traffic (fair use)

Hard to beat on raw specs: 4 cores and 8GB RAM for €5.50. Three caveats: that's the 24-month term price (incl. VAT), traffic is unmetered but fair-use, and the entry port is capped at 200Mbit.
