Dedicated Servers · $103.68/mo (64 GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 1024 GB NVMe)
Contabo's AMD Ryzen 12-core dedicated server is competitively priced for the specs, but several alternatives offer better value when you factor in renewal costs and contract flexibility. Hetzner's AX41 dedicated server and InMotion's VPS 16 vCPU both deliver comparable performance at lower monthly rates, though each has trade-offs in CPU cores, renewal pricing, or contract terms.
True dedicated server with 64GB RAM and 1TB NVMe at less than half Contabo's price, though with fewer CPU cores (6 vs 12).
Caveat: Price is estimated and unconfirmed this session; setup fees now 79 EUR; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price.
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 460GB NVMe with unlimited transfer at 3-year contract rate, undercutting Contabo by 56% on monthly cost.
Caveat: Requires 3-year prepay commitment; renewal price jumps to ~$131.99/mo (2.9x higher); VPS rather than dedicated server; specs from secondary source may differ slightly.
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM cloud server at one-third Contabo's price with 99.9% SLA and no long-term contract lock-in.
Caveat: Only 320GB SSD (vs 1TB NVMe); 20TB transfer cap; cloud instance rather than bare-metal dedicated; VAT excluded; recent price increases on other Hetzner lines suggest future hikes possible.
Cheapest entry point with 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 400GB NVMe at introductory rate, saving 75% vs Contabo.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $49.99/mo (92% increase); only 8 vCPU and 400GB storage vs Contabo's 12 cores and 1TB; VPS not dedicated; weekly (not daily) backups on base plan.
True dedicated server with 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD RAID-1, and 10 IPs at 3-year intro rate, matching Contabo's RAM but with fewer cores (6 vs 12) and RAID redundancy.
Caveat: 45% more expensive than Contabo; renewal price 2-4x higher; requires 3-year prepay; Xeon E-2176G is older architecture than Ryzen 9 7900.
