Performance VPS · $54.16/mo (48 GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 600 GB NVMe)
Contabo's Cloud VPS Plus 12 is competitively priced for its specs, but several alternatives offer better value when you factor in renewal costs and hidden fees. OVHcloud and Hostinger deliver comparable or superior performance at significantly lower entry prices, though you'll face steep renewal hikes with both.
Half the price of Contabo with 24GB RAM, 8 vCPU, and 200GB NVMe; includes daily backups and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Specs are lower (8 vCPU vs 12, 200GB vs 600GB storage); IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 400GB NVMe at less than half Contabo's price; AMD EPYC processor and 1 Gbps port match Contabo's hardware tier.
Caveat: Intro price only; renews at $49.99/mo (92% increase); only 8 vCPU vs Contabo's 12; weekly backups instead of unlimited.
Matches Contabo's 12 vCPU and 24GB RAM at 41% lower cost; includes DDoS protection and 1 Gbps port.
Caveat: 3-year contract rate shown; renewal prices are 2-4x higher; only 360GB storage vs Contabo's 600GB; Intel vCPU vs AMD EPYC.
12 vCPU, 24GB RAM, 720GB NVMe (more storage than Contabo) at 34% savings; 99.99% SLA and unlimited traffic.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-6x higher after contract; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each; outbound traffic beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered.
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 320GB SSD at 35% less; superior CPU count and RAM for workloads needing more parallelism.
Caveat: Only 20TB transfer included vs Contabo's unlimited; traffic overages billed per GB; prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines suggest future hikes possible.
