Setup? I think thats easy. On Hetzner I boot into rescue system, download ISO via wget, mount it in QEMU together with raw drives and install it like that. Its faster than installing remotely mounted ISO via their IPMI.
The big problem is debugging - if I install system as UEFI/GPT then it will take over as first in boot order (at least on ASUS boards that I have in EX44, AX41 and AX102) so rescue system won't work anymore, as it will always boot locally. You cannot even reinstall OS or destroy your data, because PXE will be just ignored. There's no way to fix your server in this case without IPMI.
Imagine webhosting where PHP error in Wordpress would make you unable to login to cPanel and FTP. Remote services always need to have something that AT LEAST resets their state to original one if there's no physical damage.
Dedicated server from $0.00/month!
Nope. An IP4 ist €3.50!
I asked them, they offer IPMI/KVM for free to setup the server.
Yes you are right sir
Changes very little for me. For me a dedi without IPMI/KVM always available isn't a product I'd buy. only exception would be when a provider is (a) known to respond to support requests very quickly (< 15 min), and (b) offering free IPMI/KVM within minutes upon request. But for that said provider would need to have very attractive other plus points to compensate for the need to request IPMI/KVM.
Now they change the ping to different server but no matter what server they change, that server is still gonna live behind one of their maxed out routing.
Looks like contabo service still shit after two years.

I have learnt why it is so congested for Singapore region at peak hour, at least I think why.
Apparently Contabo has a affiliate program which apparently give back credits for every customer. So through this affiliate program, these affiliate partners offered 7900 VPS at very low price of USD$40 for 31gb of ram.
Basically contabo network is not prepare to handle this influx of customers and of course since it is sold that cheap, contabo is earning nothing other than troubles thus since they earning nothing, they not interested to fix their network. According to these people, the congestion has been there since 2 months ago and gotta worse since then.
Network in Asia is very bad
They have no setup fee for VPS ATM. Did anyone bought this server BTW or can somebody share there experience with it ?
And when you push more then 100mbit/s you can upgrade traffic for the same price as the initial server costs
Wel actually with this one you get 1gbit 32tb and after that 100mbit and yes then better buy a new server
Thats false. With the 32TB package, when you use more then 100Mbit for 10 days in a row your port gets limited at 100Mbit.
Oke didn't now that, then why they advertise 32tb ?
Isn't it always 100mbps for VPS? They let you go 1gbps when even their VDS doesn't?
