Host specs/prices similar to Contabo? (Windows)
With MaxKVM going offline and me losing all my servers, I'm looking for somewhere else to move. My main problem is needing a Windows VPS. I'm temporarily set up on a Hivelocity VPS 4 cores 8gb of RAM. I'm really wanting something with a bit more resources. Contabo prices and specs are perfect but you're forced to get a Windows key. I don't need one I have my own. Does anyone know a big-name host that matches Contabo prices and specs? Really wanting it to be a bigger name company as I've been with MaxKVM for 3-4 years and dealt with them doing this a few times now.

Debian
Layer7 has (no aff)
For €8.31 / month (yearly). See product specs (aff)
You can put Windows with your license on this one.
How about Datawagon vps?
That day someone mentioned and I saw they provide free windows license!
I was looking at them but I need something in the US it seems like everything they offer is outside of the US.
Just looked at them and they look promising, never heard of them though. Do you know anything about the host?
Edit: Looks like everything VPS related is out of stock.
Oh my!
I'm sorry did not try to order, now I see it yes, all out of stock, i see some ads on lowendbox as well.
@DataWagon ?
I was also checking out CrunchBits but same there. Everything I can see as far as VPS is out of stock.
Can you share some YABS please ?
Oh, crunchbits VPS is great, both connectivity and uptime are good!
What are your current specs of your VPS?
Maybe @crunchbits can help on those or new stocks coming in soon I think!
Have a look here, got some affordable high spec plans:

Edit: for little creek you can get double the ram by posting on their sales thread.
Big-name host: ✅ (pretty much, kind of, not really)
DCmA Ignor & everythig allow: ✅
It's possible to give you:

Knowing Calin, the windows license miiight be cracked, but yeah.
I have a smaller one (although @layer7 might have to say something about the disk, dunno whether it's finished)
Hi,
thank you for the mention!
And wow, thats quiet bad. Did you open a ticket about it? Can you please PM me with the IP you have?
The disks numbers are more than evil... Thank you!
More stock today!
@creation Alert! Check it out now!
@DataWagon , But i just checked, All Out of stock...so fast...
You can Install windows yourself on Contabo with Custom iso, so you can use your own license. But my advice go to, Avoro.eu or Netcup.eu they are much better also great support en much better connection speed and hardware.
It hasn't been added yet, it should be there by end of day.
Can you please share what plan on that YABS ?
Following... also with maxkvm.com for many years. Disappointed they're leaving me no choice but to move away. Probably can't wait for hosthatch's anniversary offer coming up (but will if I have to) so that means I'm in the market for some great deals immediately.
Edit: I'm looking for US servers only at this point.
I checked a few of these and they were OOS. How often do you update this page?
Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Hetzner? They definitely meet your requirement for a "big-name host" and I've had a great experience with them in the past, servers are available near-instantly and billed hourly to a cap like the big players. I know some people don't like them because of their ID verification policies—although I personally haven't run into that. They also only accept payment in Euros so there's that to consider too. Prices are here: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/
In high spec VPS, all of them should be in stock as I updated it just a couple of days back. But hey, some plans are in high demand so they go out of stock quicker. I usually take down discontinued plans. Which one were you looking at?
Seen your message and been checking most of today, not sure if I missed it or it got delayed.
I checked a lot today for the restock did I miss it or did it not happen yet?
I bought one just to try and see because I figured this but I got a thing from them saying I can't do it.
Yeah, it really does suck I wish at the very least I could get a backup. I haven't backed up anything with them for a while which I know is my fault but still.
Same here ,don't see the restock!
Maybe it's gone so fast? @DataWagon
