Hopefully Madrid, that would compete with "upcoming" OVH DC in Spain if they keep the same low prices. Contabo said they would announce more locations later this year.
I think they will launch Sydney next.
Antarctica is next. Someone has to compete against @yoursunny.
Sydney with 32TB traffic on their cheapest VPS would be crazy good offer. I would say its impossible, but they already have 32TB in Singapore so... Who knows
I respectfully disagree. Mainly two reasons, (a) the famous "1 Gb/s" usually means "1 Gb/s shared" or "node has 1 Gb/s eth." and both usually don't guarantee any particular speed for the VMs, and (b) Contabo / @contabo_m and some others who clearly tell a speed/limit per VM actually often have better/higher speed adapters (typ. dual 10 Gb/s).
So, at least very often, "1 Gb/s" sounds better but "200/400/[xx0] Mb/s" actually is better/faster.
10 or maybe even 5 years ago "1 Gb/s" may have been an indicator of "fast connectivity" but nowadays (with pretty much all halfway recent server hardware) I take it to indicate "that VPS is on an old node and you actually get no speed guarantee at all"
Sir, you have not so much respectfully disagreed with me as talked about something else entirely. What ho!
You need to manually cancel the service, if I remember correctly, at least 7 days prior to the renewal date.
Not a good start for me. The signup was in EUR even when the United Kingdom location was selected. I asked them to change the currency from EUR to GBP, but they want a $25 admin fee to do it.
Then if I try to reset the password for VPS or reinstall OS it says
"The requested action is temporarily not available. If you still receive this message after 60 minutes, please get in touch with our support department."
And it is 2022. Why do they not have a ticket support system? Email-only in 2022
So I have not even been able to test the VPS yet.
I think I will stick with the tried and tested ones.
Sounds like a simply horrid situation to find yourself in, Sir. I do hope you are able to find another provider who can meet your quite reasonable requirements.
The price in GBP costs 40% more than the price in EUR, so stick with what you've got! You accidentally got a better deal.
Also odd they'd charge you in USD to change billing from EUR to GBP!
They do the same for USD. If you are a non-EU customee it's best to use a switzerland IP to buy for lowest price
True, but I cancelled it for the reasons that I mentioned. I could not reset the VPS password or reinstall OS within their control panel, saying to try again after 60 minutes, which I did. I could have changed the password manually, but I don't have time for those password reset/reinstall OS issues.
If they fix those issues and have a proper support ticket system, I will reconsider, but until then, I will stick to the other providers I have been using for decades.
kinky!
I would have suggested ‘difficult’, I’m an unsure how eating an individual’s shirts is kinky unless this is a euphemism I am unaware of?
It’s a fucking Simpsons reference, you melt.
