An alternative to Contabo (VPS provider) (lemmy.world)

Hi!

For the past few years I've been hosting most of my services on Contabo VPSs (Immich, Nextcloud, and a few others).

They used to offer a great price to specs ratio, but have lately been awful to me as a customer. (drastically increasing the price to force me to change product, and then doing the same weeks after migrating to their new product).

I don't really trust them anymore, especially since the only way to make them react to my problem was to give them a bad trustpilot review..

So anyway I am looking for advice on a different VPS provider based on the EU. I mostly need a lot of SSD space (800Gb minimum), at least 4 vCPU cores, and a decent amount of RAM. The maximum I'm willing to pay per month is around 20€.

Anything you could recommend? Ideally with a good track record of maintaining their prices.

Have a good week end!

I couldn't find similar products on Ionos and Hetzner (either too expensive or not enough storage).

However I didn't know Netcup, and it seems to be a pretty good fit! Especially the VPS 3000.

Thank you :)

With Hetzner you can get "Storage Boxes" and mount those. They are pretty cheap for 1tb and 5tb. From my experience they are fast enough for media streaming for multiple people.

They also have some sale coming up where you get more storage or extra cores for the same price: https://www.netcup.com/en/deals/easter-sale Usually these apply permanently.

+1 for netcup 👍

I was in the same boat. Years at Contabo, until they became dogshit and then moved to Netcup. No problems with them so far.

Hey at least they finally upgraded their awful account website ahah

[–] BrightCandle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I did the same move from contabo to Netcup. Contabo I had all sorts of weird bandwidth limiting problems that I couldn't explain and which the continued to deny they were throttling. Netcup worked perfectly.

Glad you found a good VPS 👍
