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!

You can take a look to UNIVIRTUAL or OVH. Both are based in Europe (Switzerland and France). I've had good experience with both so far. OVH is huge, so get a answer from the support can be tricky. UNIVIRTUAL is more responsive and reactive if you need assistance.

Hi I already made the switch to Netcup and am quite happy with their pricing and service!

I use OVH for some professional usecases, but for my personal needs I find them too expensive.

Never heard of univirtual, I'll check them out

Merci :)

Netcup is cool, totally get that. I stick with UNIVIRTUAL mostly for the combo of solid performance and fair pricing. feels premium without being overpriced. And their support is lightning fast, which is a nice change from the big guys
