Cloud VDS (Max Performance VPS) · $111.23/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 480 GB NVMe)
Contabo's Cloud VDS XL is competitively priced for 64GB RAM and 8 vCPU, but several alternatives offer better value when accounting for renewal costs and hidden fees. Most competitors charge 2-4x more at renewal, making Contabo's 24-month lock-in less of a trap than typical in this market—however, you're still paying a premium for guaranteed physical cores and the brand.
Half the price of Contabo with 32GB RAM, 16 vCPU (double the cores), 320GB SSD, and 99.9% SLA; no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Only 20TB transfer included (vs unlimited); recent price hikes on CCX/CPX lines signal potential future increases; VAT not included in quoted price.
