πŸ“„ Editorial Review

Contabo is a long-established German hosting provider, founded in 2003 under the name Go-International before adopting the current brand in 2013. Known for its emphasis on German quality and global availability, the company has grown into a large-scale provider serving over 200,000 customers across 190 countries. While its original product lineup included shared hosting, as of 2025, shared hosting is no longer offered, with the focus shifted towards high-performance cloud and dedicated infrastructure.

The company maintains separate platforms for domestic and international markets: contabo.de for German customers and contabo.com for the global audience. It has built its reputation on delivering affordable hosting solutions without compromising on performance through hardware standardization, large-scale procurement, and operational efficiency.

Contabo provides its services in English, German, and Spanish, appealing to a broad international audience. Pricing is available in EUR, USD, and GBP, giving customers flexibility based on their location and preferred currency.

In recent years, Contabo has adjusted its product strategy by discontinuing shared hostingβ€”which was still available in 2022β€”and now focuses primarily on VPS and dedicated server solutions, reinforcing its position in the performance-focused hosting market.
Product Range

Contabo offers a wide variety of services for different hosting needs:
  • Cloud VPS – High-performance virtual private servers with AMD EPYC processors, fast NVMe storage, generous bandwidth (32 TB outgoing, unlimited inbound), private networking, DDoS protection, and provisioning within minutes. Configurations can run on Linux or Windows with control panel options like cPanel or Plesk.
  • Cloud VDS (Virtual Dedicated Servers) – Dedicated virtual environments for workloads requiring higher performance and isolation, with full root access and flexible scaling.
  • Dedicated Servers – Bare metal machines with customizable storage (HDD, SSD, NVMe), optional GPU acceleration (NVIDIA GeForce/Tesla), high traffic allowances, and hardware virtualization support.
  • Specialized VPS Types – Including Windows VPS, cPanel VPS, Forex VPS, GPU VPS, and Storage VPS.
  • Object Storage – Scalable, cost-effective data storage solutions.
  • Domain Services – Domain registration and DNS management, either bundled with hosting or standalone.
  • Developer & Networking Tools – API, CLI, cloud-init, CI/CD integration, private networking, and snapshots.

In addition, Contabo provides tailored solutions such as database hosting, eCommerce hosting, self-hosted mail, Nextcloud instances, and crypto-focused hosting setups. Their infrastructure is reinforced by always-on DDoS mitigation, redundant systems, and strict physical security measures.

The company’s approach combines cost efficiency with technical reliability, making them popular among budget-conscious developers, small businesses, and large-scale infrastructure operators.

😠 contabo charges you a fee, but does not provide vps, you just ask for documents for verification to your e-mail. The support period lasts between 24 and 38 hours, customer satisfaction, zero refund, does not give an uncertain time when it will be made. My advice is to work with corporate companies with support from your own country, do not be disgraced with your money.

😁 I have been using them for nearly 2 years now without any problems.

First I had a vps (VPS XL SSD, shared resources), I had to cancel it because I needed performance from the server and it didn't have that. I think thats fair play as it has shared resources, I wasn't expecting it to perform well.

I changed my plan to VDS S, the dedicated vps without shared resources.

This one exceeded my expectations; usually when site says "3 cpu cores" they actually mean threads, but they gave 3 cores -> 6 threads, and the cpu AMD EPYC 7282 2.8 GHz had more than enough performance for my needs. Add 24gb of ram and NVMe SSD for storage... This was almost too good to be true in my mind. I performance tested the processing power, tested that I have access to all 24 gb ram, tested ssd speed, internet speed, everything worked better or as advertised.

I haven't had any problems or downtime with them, I have never experienced any stupid port restrictions or hanging issues which I have experience in all of the previous providers I have used before them.

I did contanct their support when I cancelled the first vps (VPS XL SSD) and the experience was professional and helpful.

I have read alot bad about them, but I have had nothing but amazing experiences with them.
I'm even a bit suspicious on the amount of bad reviews they are getting based on my experience with them.

11/10 review from me.

😠 SCAM COMPANY
Absolutely stay away from this scam company.
They are rude, blackmailers and attempt in all possible ways to steal and ripoff their own customers.
They provided with broken product which cannot be used, I asked refund and they keep refusing even if they obliged by EU regulations and laws.
Do not buy from them absolutely for no reason, stay away from these scammers.
