Dedicated Servers · $430.92/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2048 GB NVMe (2x1TB))
Contabo's AMD Turin 32-core plan is competitively priced for raw specs, but several alternatives offer better value when you factor in renewal costs, hidden fees, and actual usable resources. Hetzner's AX102 dedicated server and Leaseweb's Dell R7525 both deliver comparable or superior performance at lower effective cost over time, though setup fees and VAT should be verified.
16 vCPU / 128 GB RAM / 3.84 TB NVMe at $99/mo is dramatically cheaper per GB of storage and RAM than Contabo, with no renewal-price trap typical of competitors.
Caveat: Price is PLACEHOLDER and unconfirmed; setup fee raised to 79 EUR in 2026; VAT excluded; traffic overages charged beyond 20 TB EU pool.
24 vCPU / 128 GB RAM / 1.92 TB SSD at $276/mo matches Contabo's RAM and exceeds core count, with transparent pricing and no steep renewal jumps.
Caveat: Price excludes VAT; delivery time 1-5 days; SSD rather than NVMe may be slightly slower for I/O-heavy workloads.
16 vCPU / 64 GB RAM / 2 TB NVMe at $217/mo is half Contabo's price and includes 3 dedicated IPs and unmetered bandwidth.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps 2-3x after intro term; 36-month commitment required for advertised rate; domain and privacy add-ons charged after year one.
10 vCPU / 64 GB RAM / 1 TB NVMe RAID-1 at $249/mo is cheaper than Contabo with fully managed support included.
Caveat: Price estimated and not independently confirmed; renewal rates 2-3x higher; US data centers only; requires sales call for custom quotes.
16 vCPU / 64 GB RAM at $201/mo is significantly cheaper and avoids the renewal-price trap common in US-based hosts.
Caveat: Only 1.6 Gbps public bandwidth vs Contabo's 10 Gbps; egress beyond 75 GB/month charged at EUR 0.01/GB; Windows licensing adds 2.5x cost.
