still deciding
looking for dedicated cores on ryzen 9 7950X
@HostEONS ?
looks good I guess, so does speedypage and crunchbits
You'll get Contaboed
Always had only issues with contabo, don't bother.
Contabo is a hairy egg
The chicken grew big and tall then flew away.
Open the work orders, around 40-50, and they finally increase the quality and the new chick is hatched.
The large plate chicken is fragrant and small knives is convenient. Not funny to discover chicken is not cooked and the work order deleted.
A big yellow cow jumped over the dog and was quick to avoid the lazy brown fox.
I got a vps from contabo reseller to host my game server, he got 7900 from contabo. While the server is running as expected, the network is oversold. During peak hour which is typically night time, the outgoing and incoming speed will drop from 30ish MB/s to 100Kb/s. That's how congested it is and Contabo has absolutely zero interest in fixing their peering point, even their supports is trying hard to brush it off.
Fortunately and unfortunately in this location (Singapore), the expensive bandwidth come with SGIX datacentre route so I simply got another VPS to tunnel the VPS to, in order to avoid that highly congested peering point owned by Contabo at night.
If you gonna resell, you better be prepared for your customer to complain and not staying for long. Right now I am particularly weighting my options.
Contabo is among the absolute worst. Oversold like hell. With Contabo I have seen the worst CPU steal ever (up to 80%) and poorest performance with their "SSD" storage. You usually need to ask them about the storage performance and they often lift some limits that improve performance a bit, but their NVME storage is a lot better. Last time I tried Contabo I was surprised because it was decent for a couple of days, then it was back to its usual crap.
I have a contabo vps, I like it and haven’t seen any issues but then again I’m not running geekbench or benchmarking every day
Having an SSD is more important than the difference between DDR3/4. It’s a Minecraft server not a cloud blender node.
you sure? have you ever use their SG in 80% CPU?
I'm not sure in which region you want to purchase a Contabo VPS, but I believe there are better options, especially for Europe and the Americas, where you can find more cost-effective hosting solutions. Singapore also offers OVH as an alternative.
The performance of Contabo's EPYC 7282 is insufficient for Minecraft servers, especially on higher Minecraft versions, unless it's a "very small" server. Additionally, Contabo's DDoS issues result in being null-routed after an attack, causing downtime, which is problematic for game servers.
I am currently involved in selling Minecraft servers based on my experience, I would prefer OVH's dedicated servers for better performance and DDoS resistance, rather than opting for EPYC-based solutions.
crap quality.
use racknerd instead.
Contabo has never failed me. I use it when I don't care about the location of the server.
Pretty good, I know someone who used to do that. So yes. it works.
..or just use an easier one with fewer commands

Run Away
Just cancelled the contabo VPS, didn’t like the fact they tried to pre authorise payments a week before payments are due. Not in the tos when I signed up.
O also cancelled, switch to Avoro really happy there
Is it just me or did Contabo changed the cheapest package from 8gb ram to 6gb ram ?
They did. What a shame
Doubled storage.
SSDs probably still have 1,300 4K RAND IOPS
It's still a good price don't get me wrong but I would rather had 8gb Ram, also I dont get there pricing because one plan higher is the same diskspace also 400gb
I cancelled my services with them anyway I switched to Avoro better speeds.
more vCore + RAM, same goes to Storage VPS.
Propably some AI does the price rating.
Pretty sure nothing changed.
They have now location fee reduction.
If you saw, they added some staking nodes as a setup option.
I don't like them at all. Serious CPU theft and so on, they offer configurations that look good on paper, but it's dishonest overselling to have to jostle with crowded neighbors in a single carriage. However, if I want a lot of cheap solid-state storage, this is indeed a plan to consider, they are a large provider, and their reputation is reliable. Despite this, they would not be my first choice, there are more trustworthy sellers on the forums.
Can't speak for their VPS but I tried their Ryzen 7900 dedi back then when it first launched. For the price and the fact that they offer Singapore as a location, I'd say it's fair. But the downside is that the network tends to underperform at times. I suppose like what others have said, it appears to be oversold.
