I've heard about Contabo but never tried them. How are they as a provider?

so-so, they are limiting disk speed to 200mbs, so you need to make tickets to remove that limits and so on

I have 2 running at the moment. They offer incredible performance for the price, however the uptime is horrible. Currently at 19h downtime for this month. Can't really recommend them for anything besides personal use or staging environments.

What location? US network is very stable, no downtime except once since the location was public for me.

Düsseldorf. I'll hit up the support next time it goes down, to see if I am on an unlucky host system.

If you like to port scan other peoples' VPS, then they're great!

I didn’t even know they offer services in Düsseldorf. Thought they only served from Munich.

Used them a few years ago, back then it was so-so. Performancewise not the best, uptime was good.

is their control panel still the old school style?

On FB they mentioned they will also update their backend (panel) but for now only frontend if I got that correctly.

VPS S SSD in Nuremberg if anyone is curious.

Just wrote a ticket to remove the IO cap.

I had a vps with them for 1 year and I was satisfied for the price i paid. Every time maintenance work was done, I was notified. I never used their customer support.
