The Difference

German Quality, Always

Since our establishment in 2003, we have remained dedicated to delivering German quality in everything we do. It’s not just a principle we live by, but a reflection of our commitment to providing affordable, high-quality server hosting services for everyone.

Global Availability

At our hosting company, we understand that your business applications need to be able to perform at their best. That’s why we offer hosting solutions that can meet even the most demanding requirements. With eight global regions, you can count on reliable service and minimal latency, backed by our SLA guarantee.

Best Price-Performance Ratio

Our commitment to providing affordable hosting solutions means that we always strive to offer low prices and discounts to our customers. By using brand new components from trusted providers like Intel, AMD, Dell, HP, and Samsung that we purchase at a discounted rate, optimizing server loads, and managing our data centers efficiently, we’re able to deliver high-quality servers at a value to our customers.

What You Get with Your Dedicated Server

100% Dedicated Resources for You

With our dedicated servers, you don’t have to worry about sharing resources with others. All the resources are allocated to you for maximum predictable performance, whether you’re running latency-sensitive apps or other demanding workloads. Plus, with 100% CPU allocation, you can be confident that you’ll always have the performance you need to get your work done efficiently and effectively.

Custom Storage Configuration

Whatever your hosting needs, we’ve got you covered. Whether you require servers for gaming and streaming, or you’re managing complex, resource-intensive infrastructures, we offer a wide range of HDD, SSD, and NVMe SSD options to suit your specific requirements. Additionally, we provide hardware RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 options for added redundancy and data protection.

Tailor Your Hardware as Needed

We understand that every business has unique hosting needs, and that’s why we offer flexible hardware configurations that can be adjusted to match even the most demanding workloads and applications. If you need a customized server solution, we’re happy to work with you to create a solution that meets your specific needs. Please note that while customized configurations may take a bit longer to set up, the end result is worth the wait.

IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses

We provide each server with dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, so you can be sure that your applications are running on a secure and reliable network. And if you need more IP addresses, we offer the ability to buy and configure additional addresses to meet your specific needs.

Whole Lotta Traffic

We offer generous outbound data transfer of up to 32 TB, and unlimited inbound data transfer, all backed by a speedy 1 Gbps connection on our dedicated servers. For those requiring even faster data transfer, we provide an upgrade option to a 10 Gbps connection with up to 324 TB transfer capacity. Additionally, in Australia and Japan, we offer 10 TB of outbound data transfer, along with unlimited inbound transfer, without any compromise in performance or reliability.

All the Graphics Power

We offer dedicated NVIDIA GeForce and Tesla GPUs as an optional add-on to our dedicated servers. These powerful GPUs are ideal for demanding applications like machine learning algorithm training or cryptocurrency mining that require high-performance GPU computing.

Host Your Own Virtual Machines

Our bare metal servers support server virtualization, allowing you to run your own virtual machines (VMs). With AMD EPYC™ processors featuring simultaneous multithreading (SMT), our servers provide exceptional virtualization efficiency. We also support most hypervisors out-of-the-box, and offer virtualization software such as Proxmox VE if needed.

Remote Management

Get full remote access, monitoring, and control of your dedicated servers with our IPMI/iLO solution. With this feature, you can access your servers remotely and receive sensor information via IPMI for seamless management.

Create Private Networks

Create secure private networks and link your servers with our top-of-the-line networking equipment, including switches, routers, and hardware firewalls. This feature allows you to build a custom network tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your data is always secure.

Always-On DDoS Protection

Our global network is equipped with always-on DDoS mitigation, providing protection against DDoS attacks at the network level. This means that any DDoS attacks on your infrastructure are automatically detected and mitigated.

DNS Management

Using the SA-Brother Customer Control Panel, you can easily manage your DNS settings. Additionally, you have the option to purchase domains directly from us or bring your own domains to our platform.

See Why Customer Love Us

 

When it comes to recommending a hosting provider, It is my top choice. Initially, I was hesitant to choose Contabo due to some online reviews claiming that they were a scam or falsely advertising their unlimited bandwidth and speed.’

Richard Davidson

South Africa

Their support and services are top-notch. They promptly respond to any inquiries, regardless of their size, and offer comprehensive assistance. I highly recommend Contabo to anyone seeking the best VPS provider available.

John

I have been a loyal customer for several years now, and I have used several VPS for both web hosting and remote desktop services. Recently, I upgraded to a dedicated server and have been impressed with the great service, minimal downtime, and unbeatable prices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

For Dedicated Server Hosting

Yes, you can customize the amount of RAM (except for our entry-level Dedicated Servers containing Intel 10-core and Intel dual 10-core), Storage options, dedicated GPU, NICs, and other hardware like firewalls.

For all of our Dedicated Servers, you can purchase these Add-Ons:

  • More storage (choose from HDD, SSD, or NVMe SSD) .

  • Dedicated GPUs (we offer GeForce GT 1030, and NVIDIA Tesla A2 and A4 cards).

  • Additional backup options with unlimited traffic.

  • Upgraded NICs.

  • pfSense hardware firewalls.

  • Managed server option (while we specialize in self-managed servers, we offer ad hoc or regular support with managing your server for a fee should you need help).

And if you’re looking for an even better deal on Dedicated Server hosting, then you should explore our Outlet Servers: they’re fixed configuration, discounted Dedicated Servers.

Our customers use our Dedicated Servers for everything from hosting ecommerce websites and game servers to CI/CD toolchains and build servers, along with big data and machine learning applications.

Typically, our customers use Dedicated Servers for:

  • Production website hosting.

  • Applications that need 100% sustained CPU.

  • Scientific computing.

  • High traffic databases.

  • Distributed or replicated file systems.

  • Big data and data analysis.

From the Intel 10-core plan to the AMD EPYC™ 32-core plan, all of our Dedicated Servers offer a lot of computing power at a low price (arguably the best price-to-performance ratio out there).

Regardless of the plan you pick, you can spin up servers in any of our 10 global Regions located in the EU (Germany), the United States (New York City, St. Louis, and Seattle), Singapore, and the UK.

Yes, you can change your Dedicated Server’s hardware setup at any time by contacting our customer support team.

For example, we can help you add or remove disks, increase the amount of RAM, add more storage, or set up other Contabo cloud solutions like virtual private servers and S3-compaible object storage.

After you get in touch with support, one of our support technicians will work with you to figure out what you need, the scope of work and associated fees, and when your server will be temporarily offline so that the hardware changes are implemented.

Contabo supports many operating systems. You can choose from a wide range of popular Linux distributions for your server:

  • Ubuntu.

  • CentOS and RHEL variants.

  • Debian.

  • Fedora.

  • OpenSuse.

  • AlmaLinux.

  • Rocky Linux.

  • Windows Server (note that the Windows license fee is added to your monthly Dedicated Server fee if you choose Windows Server as an OS).

We offer VNC- and SSH-based installations for AlmaLinux, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu.

As part of your Dedicated Server setup, you’ll get temporary IPMI-KVM access for 24–48 hours (assuming you didn’t purchase IPMI-KVM as an Add-On) to mount your own iso file and install any operating system you want. Note that both the temporary and Add-On options require you to contact support via the Customer Control Panel.

For virtualization management, we offer Proxmox VE for free out-of-the-box. You’re also welcome to install any hypervisor you’d like (e.g., VMware or Xen).

Yes, we offer cPanel and Plesk admin at additional cost. We also offer Webmin for free. Note that we’re offering Plesk for free for the first month across our VPS and VDS plans, and Dedicated Servers.

And if you’re not satisfied with Plesk within the first month, then just cancel it before the end of your first month through the Customer Control Panel (you won’t be charged if you cancel it before the first month ends). We also wrote up this admin panel comparison guide to help you decide which panel is best for your needs.

TL;DR

  • Dedicated Servers have the most computing power of all of Contabo’s server products.

  • Cloud VDS also have a good amount of computing power, but not as much as Dedicated Servers have (they’re virtualized Dedicated Servers).

  • Cloud VPS don’t have the computing power Cloud VDS and Dedicated Servers have, but they still have a lot of computing bang for the buck.

Dedicated Server
Individual single-tenant physical server aka a bare metal server. Compared to our other server products (Cloud VPS, Cloud VDS, Storage VPS, and Outlet Servers), Dedicated Servers have the most computing power and storage availability for cheap. Not to mention, Dedicated Servers are great for applications that need quick CPU and RAM response times.

Cloud VDS
Virtualized dedicated servers that have more computing power than their Cloud VPS counterparts, but not as much as Dedicated Servers. And similar to Dedicated Servers, each Virtual Dedicated Server has its own dedicated resources, so you get 100% computing power for your applications – no sharing whatsoever between different VDS.

Given all of this, VDS can also be used for any virtualization projects and for supporting highly demanding applications. Note that all Cloud VDS plans come with additional VNC access and you get full root access to your VDS.

We recommend reading this guide on getting your server up and running: it covers everything from accessing the Contabo Customer Control Panel to configuring additional IP addresses.
