Performance VPS · $90.88/mo (96 GB RAM, 18 vCPU, 900 GB NVMe)
Contabo's Cloud VPS Plus 18 is competitively priced at $90.88/mo for 96GB RAM and 18 vCPU, but IONOS Memory Cube XL undercuts it by $0.88/mo with nearly identical specs and no long-term contract lock-in penalty. Hetzner's AX102 dedicated server offers significantly more resources (128GB RAM, 3.84TB NVMe) for only $8/mo more, though it carries a new 79 EUR setup fee in 2026.
Saves $0.88/mo on nearly identical specs (64GB vs 96GB RAM, 16 vs 18 vCPU) with no 24-month contract requirement to hit the advertised rate.
Caveat: Outbound traffic beyond 2TB/mo is metered at $0.036/GB; renewal pricing after intro period can jump 2-6x; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/mo each.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IONOS | IONOS CLOUD Cubes (Memory) · Memory Cube XL | $90/mo | 64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 960 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Hetzner | Dedicated Root Servers (AX line) · AX102 | $99/mo | 128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 3840 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Compute VM Instances · VM.Standard.A1.Flex - 16 OCPU / 96GB | $140.16/mo |
Only $8.12/mo more but delivers 128GB RAM (33% more), 16 vCPU, and 3.84TB NVMe (4x Contabo's storage) on dedicated hardware with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR in 2026; traffic overages charged per GB beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT not included in listed price; price marked PLACEHOLDER and not confirmed.
Matches Contabo's 96GB RAM and vCPU count at $49/mo premium but uses ARM Ampere Altra architecture with 99.95% SLA and no long-term contract required.
Caveat: Block Volume performance (VPU) billed separately; ARM architecture may require application recompilation; higher base price offsets flexibility benefit.
Includes 3 dedicated IPs, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA; 20% discount available on 36-month term brings effective cost closer to Contabo.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps steeply after intro term; domain privacy and backups free only year one; requires 36-month commitment for best pricing; only 64GB RAM vs Contabo's 96GB.
