About Contabo

Contabo is a German hosting company founded in 2003 and known for offering remarkably high RAM and storage per dollar compared to most competitors. Their VPS plans are KVM-based and run on NVMe SSD storage. While support quality and network performance are sometimes noted as areas for improvement, the raw specs per dollar are hard to beat for non-latency-sensitive workloads.
