An alternative to Contabo (VPS provider) (lemmy.world)

Hi!

For the past few years I've been hosting most of my services on Contabo VPSs (Immich, Nextcloud, and a few others).

They used to offer a great price to specs ratio, but have lately been awful to me as a customer. (drastically increasing the price to force me to change product, and then doing the same weeks after migrating to their new product).

I don't really trust them anymore, especially since the only way to make them react to my problem was to give them a bad trustpilot review..

So anyway I am looking for advice on a different VPS provider based on the EU. I mostly need a lot of SSD space (800Gb minimum), at least 4 vCPU cores, and a decent amount of RAM. The maximum I'm willing to pay per month is around 20€.

Anything you could recommend? Ideally with a good track record of maintaining their prices.

Have a good week end!

IONOS or Netcup or Hetzner

All of them are from germany, but provide various server locations

I use Netcup for cheap and powerful VPS (the ARM servers are awesome) and Hetzner for a dedicated server.

I couldn't find similar products on Ionos and Hetzner (either too expensive or not enough storage).

However I didn't know Netcup, and it seems to be a pretty good fit! Especially the VPS 3000.

Thank you :)

With Hetzner you can get "Storage Boxes" and mount those. They are pretty cheap for 1tb and 5tb. From my experience they are fast enough for media streaming for multiple people.

Hetzner is fucking trash. Dare you to try canceling, I took me over 6 months to get them to stop billing me 80 fucking cents per month over a resource that I had no way to delete. Then they started threatening me with collections for like $3, fuck them.

Never had problems with Hetzner 🤔

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Me neither. And I've been using them for 6ish year. That said, mistakes may happen, so...

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago

Can’t recognise that, but unfortunate you have had such an experience with them.

Why did it take six months to resolve the issue? What steps did you take, how did they respond? Serious claims require proper explanation at the very least.
