I already knew they have a good service, and for the vps I was looking for, they had the best price. If you are looking for dedicated, I think you will get a better price at https://www.leaseweb.com/.

I would look at reviews for Contabo, they are well considered one of the worst providers.
tbh I haven't looked at their reviews, but I have used them a few times and never had any problems, worked well for me.
I looked at them recently for a project, and there are a lot of bad reviews for them on Reddit. Likely due to the fact they are a super cheap provider. I've never used them myself because of this.
I think that vps is more luck, no matter the provider. All providers try to split servers into a number of accounts based on an average. You just got to hope that your account falls into a server that has a usage bellow average. Got to have good neighbors....
They do, and cheap providers oversell, meaning more customers per physical hardware. They have to, to make any money.
True!
But they are not that cheap too.... it's hard to compare providers because they are all offering different configurations. All of them have a cheap package.
In my case, I did look for the cheapest that had what I needed. But if I had a different need, maybe Contabo could not be the best choice (price).
I've had my dedicated servers for many years with iweb (now recently bought by leaseweb), I did choose them by the price (cheap), and for many years I've had no problems at all!! I'm super happy!
If I hire a service and I don't like it, I just cancel... they are cheap and I don't loose much by giving it a try. If it works out, great! I got a good deal.
I had also no problems so far.
I haven't used them personally, but when I did a search recently on Reddit and read the "Is contabo any good" and "should I use contabo?" type posts and it was mostly negative. A few "I've been using them and never had a problem" but the majority were negative due to them being one of the cheapest solutions out there.
That being said, most providers suck unless you are paying $1000/m for a $50/m server, like Rackspace where they bend over backwards to keep you.
Do you trust those Reddit reviews? Maybe the competition has something against them, as they might ruin the price level?
Not sure, but there was enough it wasn't a fluke. Generally Reddit is spot on as a collection.
