Contabo is a German (founded 2003) budget-focused hosting provider best known for high-RAM, low-cost VPS and dedicated servers. It targets price-sensitive developers, hobbyists, and SMBs who want strong price-to-performance rather than a full hyperscaler feature set. Its lineup includes Cloud VPS, Storage VPS, VDS, dedicated servers, and S3-compatible object storage with free egress, versioning, and object-lock. It operates 11 locations across 9 global regions and backs services with a 99.9% uptime SLA; ISO 27001 and other certifications are held at specific datacenters rather than universally. It does not offer managed Kubernetes or a standing free tier.
