The Bottom Line

What is Contabo?
Contabo was founded in 2003 in Munich, Germany and has grown to serve 200,000+ customers across 190 countries. The company owns and operates its own data centers — it is not reselling AWS or Google Cloud infrastructure. Contabo's physical hardware is sourced in bulk and configured for maximum spec-per-dollar efficiency. Data centers are located in Germany, the United States (St. Louis, Chicago), Japan (Tokyo), Singapore, and Australia (Sydney). Contabo is privately held and debt-free, positioning itself as the low-cost infrastructure alternative to the major cloud providers.
What does Contabo offer?
Contabo's current official pricing page lists Cloud VPS, Storage VPS, Cloud VDS, and dedicated-server families with plan-specific CPU, RAM, storage, traffic, port, and price terms. The catalog is region- and date-sensitive; compare the exact plan and billing currency shown at checkout. Virtual dedicated plans may advertise dedicated resources, but that does not make every Cloud VPS a guaranteed-CPU product. Confirm snapshots, backups, traffic, port speed, storage type, taxes, and support terms from the current plan page.
