Has anybody heard of and formed an opinion on Contabo? I was searching for unmetered or high bandwidth offerings and ran across them. They have a cloud VPS for $7/mo with 4vCPU, 8GB RAM, and 32TB traffic.
- bravetraveler 4y agoI generally have heard good things for personal use. Never signed up personally I believe they limit disk IO to ~100MB/s unless requested, an annoying step but otherwise I hear they perform well especially considering the pricing
- kossTKR 4y agoWow, that's about 1/5 of the price of my current DO test droplet. Think i am going to switch soon if there isn't a catch - i wonder why there is such a huge gap in prices? I wonder if you can go even lower as i've never heard of multiple companies mentioned in this thread, Hetzner being the other one that's about double this but half DO.
- gamblor956 4y agoThe catch is that you're comparing VPS prices to IaaS prices. They're similar and can be used for many of the same things but are not the same. With the VPS, you'll be responsible for a lot of the things that the IaaS provider would otherwise handle. However, you can install Dokku/etc. on your VPS and run your own self-hosted IaaS and approximate what you would get from DO/Heroku.
