if possible, please share yabs.
Yes, it looks like that. Sad story. But, oh well, if Contabo wants to make us not like them ...
Surprised that no one seems to be talking about their storage servers. Don't you use them?
They have reduced storage from 4 TB to 1.4 TB and increased the price from $42 to $46 per month.
That was a nice upgrade.
sue them
Any plans to offer HDD storage vps? (I don't need ssd storage vps)
whats the point when their ssds are already hdd speed? do you want something even lower? just buy an SD card then
You might like to know that Contabo's "Cloud VPS 30", with 8 vCPU cores, performs worse than Hetzner's "CX22", with 2 vCPU cores.
Contabo, your overprovisioning and overselling is ridiculous. For the sake of your brand and customers, stop doing it.
I've had the VPS for 5 days now, decided to run another Yabs.
Mainly more storage
I have kinda the impression that this thread has backfired
It seems to be Milan, isn't it?
And its disk is always well locked.
4k disk iops is worse than on my 2,40€/y netcup server

No, it's in Germany.
I meant CPU type.
Oh lol. I have no idea which generation of CPU it is.
good price
poor support
worse stability
(on experience of 4 servers. last one canceled today)
I thought Germany was getting the Turin CPU, but the data says otherwise.
As for the very negative judgements re Contabo:
Most importantly though and why I decided to post this IMO is the fact that they upgraded their german DC(s?) and significantly so, because it clearly shows that Contabo does care and does move, albeit not as fast as many - probably rightfully - desire.
So, feel free and go ahead and complain about this or that but calling Contabo a careless shitshow or similar obviously is not justified. (I myself am not always exactly happy with what I see there but tend to not complain when I feel I get good bang per buck).
P.S. For those who are interested, here are the results of 15 runs during my recent "who's the bestest" shootout for my old (but meanwhile upgraded) Contabo DE VPS (both the St. Louis and the SGP VPS were significantly worse i.e. obviously not upgraded yet) to show what my judgement is based on:
P.S. Most locations for which I had multiple test targets (incl Iran!) showed very similar results to the chosen one (best result).
Plus: 200 Mb/s or 10Gb/s, me care little, at the end of the day I care about connectivity which for this DE VPS is good in terms of "reaches nearly every target" and acceptable or even decent in terms of speed when considering the 200 Mb/s limit.
Last year I purchased 10 of your Black Friday VPSs, and after I used them for 3 consecutive months, you raised the price for me.
Not trustfull, change prices every week, not viable for professional use.
