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 raw specs, but several alternatives offer better value when accounting for renewal costs, contract flexibility, and total cost of ownership. Most competitors are VPS or cloud instances rather than true dedicated servers, so verify whether you need bare-metal performance or can accept virtualization.
True dedicated server with 64GB RAM and 1TB NVMe at less than half Contabo's price, though with fewer vCPU (6 vs 12) and older Ryzen 5 3600 CPU.
Caveat: Price not confirmed this session; setup fees recently increased to EUR 79; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 460GB NVMe, unlimited transfer at 3-year contract rate; renewal jumps to ~USD 131.99/mo, but intro term is significantly cheaper.
Caveat: VPS not dedicated server; renewal price is 2-4x higher; requires 24-36 month upfront commitment to get this rate.
32GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 640GB NVMe, 1TB transfer at intro rate; includes 1 Gbps port and weekly backups.
Caveat: VPS not dedicated; renewal rates 2-3x higher; medium confidence sourcing; requires longer-term prepay for best pricing.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, full root access, Docker/KVM support, and 100% SLA.
Caveat: VPS not dedicated; renewal price jumps steeply (280%+ on some plans); monthly billing only, no hourly option.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU at near-parity pricing; cloud instance with flexible scaling and no long-term contract lock-in.
Caveat: Only 8 vCPU vs Contabo's 12; ARM-based Ampere CPU, not x86 AMD Ryzen; public egress charged after 75GB/month; 800 Mbps bandwidth cap.
