Contabo
Affordable German VPS and dedicated servers — a budget-friendly European alternative to DigitalOcean.
About
Contabo is a Munich-based cloud and hosting provider founded in 2003, known for offering some of the highest compute specifications per euro in the European market. Its VPS plans start at approximately €4/month and include significantly more CPU, RAM, and SSD storage than competitors at the same price point. Contabo operates data centres in Germany (Munich, Nuremberg), Netherlands, UK, and other locations — all EU-headquartered and GDPR-compliant. It also offers S3-compatible Object Storage and dedicated servers. Contabo is the preferred choice for compute-intensive workloads such as machine learning training, video processing, and self-hosted databases where raw resource density matters more than managed-service polish.
