    Instead, I hope Contabo will make some regular offers...

    Hello,
    what do you mean by regular offers? Maybe we can clarify this for you.

    But it's not so great to have to open a ticket to get better I/O.

    (It's like insider information: how would you know that you should do this if you didn't happen to read this thread?)

    Well it's probably in place to prevent abuse. And only "geeks" (aka LET) will notice anyway.

    @contabo_m Do you allow for network upgrades on your plans? I'd really like to get the VPS M, but i really don't need that much space but would like the 1gbit network.

    Unfortunately not, our VPS cannot be customized :neutral: We can only offer the specs as displayed on our website

    May I ask: does your panel allow for installation from ISOs? If yes, do you allow custom ISOs?

    Yes, for Linux this is possible, albeit a small fee is charged for the technical effort. In order to get your custom ISO, please get in touch with our support team via e-mail to [email protected]

    What is such small fee?
    And would i be able to install any system (e.g. Alpine Linux) by dd-ing the system on the hard drive and installing from ram or does the system prevent that?

    My guess is that they would do the initial installation from ISO, which is why the fee (but this is just a guess).

    My conclusion is that if one chooses Contabo, it's probably best to simply use one of the images that they provide. The ISO option doesn't sound so straightforward.

    Debian Thx :) I can imagine installing custom iso with them is not as straight forward but very well possible (asked for CloudLinux once).

    @angstrom is right about that! The installation would be done by our technicians
