Contabo KVM SSD VPS's now without setup fee!
No setup fee anymore...
I hope this will be forever?
Now they use SSD Drives
Also anybody tried it?
8 EUR/month and... without VAT : 6,4 EUR
Comments
Very nice offers, but it's a shame it's only 100mbit. At least they use 'Highly efficient cooling'!
yes right, but where datacenter..????
100mbit.. XL 1gbit.
Germany
They are using SSD accelerated disks, not pure SSDs. Also with thin provisioning & compression they are now able to offer very high amount of HDD & RAM.
allowed torrent or no?? i need for torrent
wow, 6 GB ram only 7.99 EUR / month.

they were previously known as "giga-international"
most likely not, although they don't monitor what you do with your server.
I've contacted them and they told me the price you see on their international website (contabo.com) is already without VAT.

If anyone does get one of those, please run a http://serverbear.com benchmark
These VPS are even KVM Would love to See a few benchmadks. No setup is only for yearly paymenrts.
Okay. Ordered one , and we shall see
I will run a benhcmark
Nope, currently it is no setup regardless of the payment cycle. Might be for a limited time though & they would switch to their normal policy of not setup for yearly commitments only after that.
they even run windows perfectly although you need Virtio drivers
yeah i think they not allow for torrent, because i'm ready ask to admin and they answare :
Hello, all of our servers offer full root access. You can use our servers for whatever reason as long as you do not violate against German law or our ToS. In case of complaints against your server, we will contact you and work together to find a solution. So far, we have made good experiences with this approach.
they not say allow or not, maybe not ...
But note the traffic is 19TB/month. Then its 10mbit
10mbit ...????? really..??? you ready buy product on contabo?
100 or 1000mbit first. Then.. if you reach 19TB/month you will get 10mbit
okay ... i understand.. how about torrent on this server if you think??
I think.. if you use for personal files. Not by piratebay . You will be okay.
@ZweiTiger Awesome! Looking forward to your benchmarks Could you run freevps bench and take a few Screenshots of the interface?
where do you read that?
in the footer of the VPS page
this should be a little walk-through of their webpanel: https://contabo.com/swf/login_en.swf
60 Mbps used 24/7 = 19.44 TB/month
oh, I didn't calculated it
Although you can't use 60mbps 24/7/30:
This is what they replied when I asked them what would happen if I burst the bandwidth 4 days consecutively, stop one day and repeat/cycle till the end of the month:
So personally I think they will contact you once you reach a few TB bandwidth, but this is just my impression.
I'm also quite interested in trying one, but the fact that they charge VAT to everyone (included EU companies and NON-EU customers) keeps me off at the moment.
Lol you wouldn't get that price for those resources anywhere in the world.
They would never mind if your usage does not exceed 60 Mbps for more than 5 days. But if you can limit your usage to 60 Mbps max you can use it 24/7.
that's why I'm still interested as it has lot of storage, curious to see how the benchmarks perform. As discussed in others threads, they might not be held to remove VAT but it's not a "good" business practice from my point of view. Also the reviews about them and their previous name are very mixed. For now the email support was good and fast.
correct, sorry it's late night here and my brain is not fully working. However I still don't think you would be able to push ~20TB for 8€ and most probably you would get suspended before for "cpu abuse".
If you put salt on poop it still remains poop.
Refers to what? Did you had any previous experiences with the provider?
In Germany the Contabo provider got very good stars.
http://www.webhostlist.de/provider/4508-Contabo-GmbH/
So... and this is real reviews. So not bad as some client say.
The support said that:
-Problematic clients yes will review us as bad provider. But clients who dont have any issue not will review us.... thats the problem.
New policy with the new 1gbps port (which is capped at 100mbit?):
Could you reach 10TB within 5 day? I think no.. so this * thing not a big problem 99% of users.
But what do you want at this price?
