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 think you're probably looking a step more "enterprise" than I am. I'm doing nightly backups to B2; if one of my servers dies, my recovery is to spend a couple minutes re-installing Arch and then couple hours restoring from backup. My services are predominantly in containers, so it really is just a matter of install, restore, reboot. There are things I inevitably miss, like turning on systemd's persistent user services; my recovery times is on the order of hours, not including the fact I'm not actively monitoring for downtime and it could take a few hours for me to even notice something is down.

Like I said: totally not enterprise level, but then, if I have a day's outage, it's an annoyance, not a catastrophe.
