Contabo - No setup fee for VPS atm + Free storage upgrade
Seems like Contabo has no setup fee for their VPS, and other products due to Sysadmin week special in case anyone wanted to give them a try or wanted to get a vps from them: https://contabo.com/en/
I can also (e.g. for smallest vps) choose free storage upgrade (400GB SSD -> 600GB SSD, or 100GB NVME -> 150 GB NVME). Their biggest vps jumps from 600GB NVME to 1.2TB.

Contabo = shit
Using Contabo VPS for over 3 years, has been rock solid.
Criminal they can even justify charging a setup fee for a VPS
Not really common anymore but imo not criminal. Same as for dedicated servers at hetzner for example.
Contabo vps are really bad, I had faced downtime for 3-4 days without any notifications,support always offline
My experience with them has been mixed, but I remembered some people here were using them, so perhaps for them this offer would be interesting. Right now, all my VPS are with ZAP Hosting (lifetime) and my dedi is with CloudCone (lifetime).
Still wouldn't recommend them. They really oversell the fuck out of them.
I once used contabo for a few months, and faced downtime several times.
If you want 10MB/sec IO u can use contabo. my experience are really traumatic with them.
Ordering most highest VPS and VDS their IO are really bad.
Low IO, high steal. I can not recommend them...
