Contabo have issue on their server and for this issue i lost all of my site and files. Even i have called their customer support they are not supportive and did not give any solution to contact the support i have called them 76 times and then they pick the call and do not recover my files. If it is their issue then they should recover the server but they did not do this. I lose my business. I lose everything. I lost all the files. But they did not care. I lose 30000$ worth business and now i have to started from zero. This happened because of them. This only their server issue and for them i lose everything. I lost my business. I called them againa nd again but they just ignore and don't give any solution.
you saved my budget, thanks
SCAN!! Don't hire this VPS! It prevents you from canceling the service immediately, they will force you to pay for another 3 months.
Why are contabo prices like this? But majority prefer digitalocean
Lighthouse mainly tests client painting performance, not server performance lol
Which VPS do you recommend? Are there any catches for Contabo having much better specs for the price? What about Hetzner also?
very wrong comparison
Thank you.
You should not use Vultr bandwidth will charge beautiful way.
My account limit is 250 usd. For instance I subscribed 160/month. My credit card has been charged nearly 500 USD and cannot be removed. Until now just nearly 14 days. No control over your bandwidth until you run out of money.
DO NOT USE CONTABO – I made an order – sent them the money – support are being tricky – they haven't sent me any login / order details. + I'm not a web noob having made and run 10+ websites.
find someone else.
*UPDATE* 3/1/23
After 3 phone calls and 6+ emails I finally got my login and credentials and — it guess what, times out and wont login. Have tried with 4+ VNC clients…. Still no response from support.
*UPDATE* 4/1/23
After 4 more emails and another day – they have claimed to reboot and test my server but I'm still not able to connect… yawn.. now 5 days after purchase
*UPDATE* 5/1/23
3 more support emails and they are suggesting really basic stuff that I've told them I've tried… hours between email replies. No live chat available. Boo.
Pick someone else.
I used Contabo's service for more than two months before they claimed that my virtual private server had a virus and asked to arbitrarily terminate it. They then demanded that I pay an additional service cost of 34.05 dollars to reopen the virtual private server. My virtual private server, however, just uses it for personal purposes and does not access or download any malicious software. To reopen the VPS, this company made me pay the aforementioned price. There is no method for me to recover my deleted data. Beware of this type of deception if you discover that Contabo offers a cheap virtual private server service you can utilize. It's a fraud.
Funny how I saw an ad for DigitalOcean when I opened this video.
Subscribed pemanent! Thanks dude.
You should also do tests with multiple concurrent users, see where the top limit is for each one. (For these plans somewhere between 400-800 users should be the sweetspot where a difference is seen) This is actually the best metric especially for the higher plans, since only running a website for a few users will always have similar results, cause the peak performance is never reached, so with this approach it actually doesn't matter that much how many processors or ram you have.
You should compare the basic contabo plan with basic plans from other hosts. Many videos are out there that conclude contabo even not perform like DO, vulture, or linode basic plan. I am quite surprised with all this results.
Just curious to know if it is a paid review? Because the Contabo VPS is a shared platform while the Digital Ocean Or Linode, etc. at the cost of $80 are all dedicated servers. Both Digital Ocean and Linode have shared VPS which comes at a cost of as low as $5. I have used Digital Ocean and Linode. I wanted to test run Contabo which is why I viewed your comparison video. But it is not truly justified.
The comparison above uses SSD or Nvme of all servers??? contabo Nvme how was it when compare to Vultr High Frequency?
Contabo have problem with (DDoS) its very bad !!, if you have attack by someone they just disable your VPS and go offline for 2 or 3 hour, you can't access the VPS at all and you should wait for the attacker to stop so you can back online…
also very bad if you use it for game server (use it only for website with CDN like Cloudflare)
The VPS S Plan of contabo has a 200 Mbits connection whereas the vultr or DO has 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps. I am looking to clear my confusion between contabo, DO, Vultr and Linode. Which one do you prefer personally for WordPress sites?
I expected they would be on par with each other for all the tests except the load test. Pleased to see a new contender,. Hopefully, these are not just promo prices to extablish themselves then pump up prices little by little.
I think Contabo is shared-core and the other ones are dedicated no? You may have to deal with CPU-steal if their servers experience high traffic
What is the best vps and server location for Africa / Nigeria
yeee right, contabo fees lol. for dedi 249€ FEE and anorher 99€ fee to plug a pcie card in. i mean fee ok? i can fly there and do it myself.
or i can get 10gb/s fiber here in spain for just 30 euro ….
Now bring hetzner in da game
always present
Contabo 🤮
I have been using Contabo. Its super laka to me.
As always, a awesome video!
Hetzner comparison pls
Contabo VPS server always down for maintenance almost everyday for 45 minutes. That is why I am hesitate to sign up with them.
Tony, can you do similar tests with Hetzner Cloud? Also do a more heavy load testing like 1000-2000 users per second kinda heavy. The $12 Contabo server should be fine with such traffic is it's specs are real?
really like the quality of the new videos. keep up the good work
Sir, you have crossed 22K, great to know this.
Contabo's DDoS protection is complete garbage. They will suspend your server for 1 or 2 hours if you get attacked.
