VPS plans with plenty of SSD storage
I'm looking to replace a dedicated server with a VPS in Europe.
I need "quite a lot" of storage space: ~1TB
No need for Nvme disk
I've listed a few providers that offer lots of SSD storage at good prices.
- Contabo
- Netcup
- Strato
I'm looking for a minimum of reliability. So only providers who have been in the business for at least 3/5 years.
Do you know of any others?

misread the post before, do you need SSD storage?
I'm not looking for a low-cost VPS dedicated to storage.
I'm looking for a relatively powerful virtual server with lots of storage space (no HDD) at a good price.
So I'm looking for providers who offer this kind of plan at a good price.
To replace a dedicated server I currently have.
I've also seen vds plans from advinservers
But I don't know this provider and there's nothing in stock.

Hey,
We could get you setup with a VPS in the UK with 1 TB Disk (SSD). Happy to work with you on budget based on how long you're happy to commit for.
LG: https://uk2.lg.mlnl.host/
DM me if interested, we could get you setup today/tomorrow.
Thanks for the offer but to be honest it's much more expensive than I'm planning to spend on this server.
For example, I'm thinking of using Contabo's Cloud VPS L server. €20.99 incl VAT
I don't doubt that what you're proposing is much more efficient, but I don't think I need it.
Look at prometeus k-power, ticks all your boxes despite not being "pure" SSD storage.
The latency characteristics of their SAN are quite unusual compared to most VPSs (enterprise SSD level write latency, up to HDD level read latency), give it a go and see if it works for your use case
4 vCore CPU
4GB DDR4 ECC RAM
1TB SSD Samsung datacenter
10TB @ 400Mbps
1 IPv4
1 IPv6
€250/year VAT included
Since reliability is crucial to you, I would go with netcup.
Oplink.net has the craziest SSD storage deals ever. Grab it when it's in stock.

Indeed, I've had nothing but good feedback !
I'm still canvassing other providers who might be suitable in this price range.
But I don't think I've forgotten any of them.
Thanks but I'm looking for a vps in europe.
And not for mass storage.
It's to serve production applications with lots of data.
I don't really want to chase the availability of an offer. This server is not for my hobbies, unlike others
Sorry I missed the EU part. How much does Netcup SSD storage cost per TB?
25€ incl VAT / month for 1 year commitment. (12 vCore, 24GB RAM)
A fair price in my opinion with their reputation.
Indeed, it's an attractive price.
It might be suitable as I don't need very fast storage.
I don't know much about this company. They seem to have been around for a long time.
However, I can't find much information about them.
Do you recommend it?
I feel like if SAN storage VPS works then get a BUYVM or Hetzner VPS and attach a block storage/storage box
It's definitely on a higher level than those, being an actual SAN rather than some HDDs in RAID with an SSD cache
ioping tells the true story, sitting around low-end SSD (at best) in terms of uncached random reads:
But where the cache can come into play, and especially for writes, perf is great
One good option is to find raspberry pi hosting with an external HDD option, should end up being $15-$20/m + how ever much the SSD costs (probably something like $50 off Amazon?)
Looks like freerangecloud has Pi Hosting in the US, which would come out to ~ $13/m + $30 setup fee.
I don't really see any EU providers that do this though.
As I said, I'm not looking to tinker to get the maximum storage for the price. I'm not going to host production tools on a raspberry. Although I must say I love playing with this kind of stuff.
I'm looking for a virtual private server from a reliable provider to host a production load (even if some won't agree with contabo for reliability). And I listed a number of providers who had an offer that matched my needs for (€18 - €30) a month.
I just wanted to know if you knew of any other providers with similar offers in this range price before making a choice.
Read through the thread, I don't have anything within the 18-30 EUR budget, but this one has plenty of disk:
2 x Xeon E5-2680v4
8 GB RAM
5 TB SAN Disk
Backups included
20 TB Bandwidth
Location: Switzerland
Price: US$50/mon (~46.5 EUR)
Very reliable DC, here's some network results from earlier:
There's also webtropia. Their VDS range is a good alternative to a dedicated server.
No experience with them but I had read some good feedback.
Only German companies in my selection.
That's odd.
Thank you very much for your various offers.
This one is interesting. Knowing that generally servers in Switzerland are expensive.
But, I don't need huge processing power and I prefer to go with a provider I've already heard a lot about or already tested for this usage
No problem - the DC is PrivateLayer, they're well known on LET as well and we've been using them for several years, so performance / reliability is very good.
I understand the specs may be higher though so might be too much for this time.
Thanks!
I 100% support this suggestion, been using them for months now and rock solid
If you are swayed towards Netcup then id definitely wait until the end of the month as they will be running BF deals on their website. Usually something per hour and you can usually see what is coming up next if you search for the event.
Netcup used to have different options on netcup.de to netcup.com/eu not sure if that is still the case but check it anyway.
Other than that @PHP_Friends is always worth looking at and they usually do a BF deal.
Thanks for the information!
I still have 2 months paid on the dedicated server so there is no rush.
I'm thinking of selecting netcup as it's often recommended.
I'll wait until the end of the month hoping to find a good offer.
Subscribe to Netcup RSS feed. They push offers through on that.
Webtropia is IMO like a better version of Contabo and I think it's even a bit cheaper. With their VDS the storage is dedicated for max storage performance, so I'd take that into consideration.
Yes, their offer is well positioned
Do you own one? If so, would it be possible to run a small benchmark?
I had a server with them less than a year ago, it was decent in terms of CPU, and very good for the storage (as expected). I wasn't using it much though (I had many servers at the time) so I cancelled.
