Skip Contabo (CPU steal is terrible) and Hostinger. Netcup, Hetzner Cloud, or OVH are way better for performance in Europe.

Please, get any VPS they say is good and is within your budget, of course. OVH/Netcup/Contabo, etc. offer good amounts of RAM with the base configuration VPS.

Avoid Hostinger and One.com (still lean towards managed environments with strict contract lock-ins). Contabo looks cheap on paper, but suffers from overselling (high CPU steal) and bandwidth bottlenec

Try Contabo

Contabo is know for being 'friendly' towards spammers and other bad actors, I suppose they will ignore complaints.

Sorry, no response so far. But keep in mind that my last contact with the Contabo people was >= 5 years ago, so maybe the two I tried to contact don't work there anymore or the email addresses

Yep, it's coming from Contabo IPs. Consider using toalf's tor-ddos mitigation script if you use iptables. I'm deploying it across more of my fleet now and it's catching most of the attacks while leavi

Thanks but nope, I won't clear it up because I often see Epyc based VPSs with AES but no AVX2. That's by no means related (only) to this provider (Contabo).

Recently an idea struck me while looking at my (detailed) list of VPS. I have three Contabo VPSs, one in DE (which was upgraded and is actually nice), one in Murrica (St. Louis) (which I consider crap

Apart from Leaseweb and Contabo, I'd also recommend @serverpoint.
