Contabo extra IP price Too expensive!
Contabo VPS prices are good, but their Extra IP cost $3 euro. that does not make sense, VPS Box for $3.99, $4.99 euro ...and cost of extra IP $3 euro.
I buy extra IP for 1.00 USD, .98 &1.00 euros.. That price will keep customer away.
Hetzner Extra IP cost. € 0.84

Ok
what do you think ? the cheap is not always cheap , someway contabo need to make income ...
Use IPv6!
IPv4 isn't cheap, nor is it getting cheaper. It's only ever going to go up in price from here on out.
Ok
They have to make their money somewhere.
Congrats on your 22nd discussion
Ok
Imagine a budget host charging more for add-ons.
Use IPv9!
Their VPS'es are cheap 🤪
Contabo is one of those that subsidises their base VPS prices (And quality, it seems) so they can then charge extra for the add-ons and other products. I assume the idea is that you end up acquainted with their services and don't think much of the prices becoming steadily higher as you explore the "platform".
Cheap is cheap for a reason. If their pricing model (Cheap oversold base with expensive addons to make up costs) fits your usage then great. If not either suck it up or use a different provider.
That's an IP that could be used for another customer buying a full VM. If they're somewhat limited on v4, it doesn't make sense to blow out IPs at $1 when they could make $4-5/mo on it with another customer.
This is outrageous.
I suggest you make a formal complaint here.
i sort of agree on this,but it really depends on the service and expected use.
On services with tight margins such as vps - i would also view it as: one vps less sold, adjust the price of the extra ip up.
On dedicated servers, where the customers might want to use virtual machines for service separation or projects,,.. that might be different story. (up to a certain limit ofc).
Ok
Your casual acquiescence to this barbaric injustice sickens me.
ok
Hey @cociu, since I've got you here, could you check ticket #42069?

Due of tiket bump +420hr delayed

Why extra IP4 is needed?
Why would you ever need extra ipv4. Their dedi servers are too expensive, and vps is just supposed to be for you and not for reselling
Btw you should start switching to ipv6
For that 3 euro they make 3 push-ups. You can pump them up by buying IPs for 3 euro.
Only OVH has a generous IPv4 pricing policy.
Also, dedicated servers, aren't so cheap with Contabo.
If you need multiple virtual machines, order multiples VPS.
For SEO Purposes, I like to use different IP for my websites.
"ok".
Cross fingers for tomorrow @Tony40
An additional US location would be amazing, I believe they had the same sort of teaser before St Louis was launched.
