Dedicated Servers · $755.03/mo (192 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 2048 GB NVMe (2x1TB))
Contabo's AMD Turin 64-core plan is expensive for its actual vCPU count (64 cores) compared to alternatives offering 32-48 vCPU with similar RAM at half the price. However, if you specifically need 64 cores for parallel workloads, the per-core cost is reasonable; most listed alternatives are 32-vCPU cloud or VPS tiers that don't match the raw compute. Verify whether you truly need 64 cores or if a 32-48 core dedicated server would suffice.
True dedicated server with 48 vCPU (AMD EPYC 9454P), 128GB RAM, and 3.84TB NVMe for less than one-quarter Contabo's price; setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026 is a one-time cost.
Caveat: 48 cores vs Contabo's 64; setup fee increase in 2026; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool.
32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 3TB NVMe SSD with unmetered bandwidth and 3 IPs; 99.99% SLA beats Contabo's typical 99.9%.
Caveat: Only 32 cores (half Contabo); renewal prices jump 2-3x after intro term; requires 36-month commitment for lowest advertised rate.
128GB RAM, 960GB NVMe RAID1, fully managed, US data centers; price is estimated but specs are high-confidence.
Caveat: Only 16 vCPU total (2x8-core EPYC 7252); renewal rates 2-3x intro; requires sales call for final quote; US-only.
32 vCPU (Intel Xeon 6226R Dual), 128GB RAM, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB bandwidth, 100% uptime SLA.
Caveat: Only 32 cores; advertised price is promotional (50% off first 2 months typical); renewal pricing significantly higher; bandwidth overages billed separately.
48 vCPU, 96GB RAM, 1.92TB SSD, 9TB transfer, 99.99% SLA; closest match to Contabo's core count and performance tier.
Caveat: Only 96GB RAM vs Contabo's 192GB; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% of monthly price); bandwidth overages at $0.005/GB.
