Cloud VDS (Max Performance VPS) · $161.99/mo (96 GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 720 GB NVMe)
Contabo's Cloud VDS XXL is competitively priced for the 24-month term, but several alternatives offer better raw value if you can tolerate shorter contract terms or different hardware profiles. Hetzner's AX41 dedicated server is dramatically cheaper and offers more storage, though with fewer vCPU cores and a potential setup fee.
Saves $116.99/month ($1,403/year on 24mo) with 1024GB NVMe (vs 720GB), though 6 vCPU vs 12 and 64GB RAM vs 96GB; dedicated hardware with no noisy-neighbor risk.
Caveat: Price not confirmed this session; setup fee may apply; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; verify current pricing on hetzner.com before committing.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner | Dedicated Root Servers (AX line) · AX41 | $45/mo | 64 GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 1024 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Compute VM Instances · VM.Standard.A1.Flex - 8 OCPU / 48GB | $70.08/mo | 48 GB RAM, 8 vCPU | Visit |
| IONOS | IONOS CLOUD Cubes (Memory) · Memory Cube XL | $90/mo |
Saves $71.99/month with 16 vCPU (vs 12), 64GB RAM, and 960GB NVMe; strong SLA at 99.99%.
Caveat: Outbound data transfer beyond 2TB/month costs $0.036-0.018/GB; additional IPv4 addresses are $6/month each; renewal pricing after any promo period can be 2-6x higher.
Matches Contabo's price almost exactly with 64GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 1000GB SSD RAID-1, and includes 10 dedicated IPs plus 100GB backup storage.
Caveat: Renewal prices jump 2-4x after intro term; lower vCPU count (6 vs 12) and SSD RAID-1 instead of NVMe; SLA 99.9% vs Contabo's implied higher availability.
Saves $91.91/month with ARM-based compute, 48GB RAM, 8 vCPU, and 99.95% SLA; excellent for non-x86 workloads.
Caveat: ARM Ampere architecture may require app recompilation; Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; lower RAM (48GB vs 96GB) and fewer vCPU (8 vs 12).
Promo price $166.70/mo is only $4.71 more than Contabo but delivers 128GB RAM (vs 96GB), 12 vCPU (matching), and 1920GB SSD (vs 720GB NVMe); regular price EUR 192.94/mo is significantly higher.
Caveat: Promo pricing; regular renewal price jumps to EUR 192.94/mo (roughly $210+); prices exclude VAT; delivery 1-5 days; SSD RAID not NVMe.
