Dedicated Root Servers (AX line) · $199/mo (128 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 3840 GB NVMe)
Hetzner AX162 at $199/mo is competitively priced for raw specs, but Contabo's AMD Genoa 24-core at $214.92/mo offers nearly identical performance at only 8% more, with unlimited traffic and lower setup costs. For budget-conscious buyers, Contabo's 24-month prepay model and transparent pricing make it the better long-term value despite slightly fewer cores.
128GB RAM, 24vCPU, 2TB SSD, unlimited traffic at EUR 199/mo (24-month term); only 8% more than Hetzner but with no traffic overage risk and clearer renewal pricing.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepayment commitment; shorter terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
