We are delighted to announce that we continue to deliver and effective today, we accept payments in both U.S. dollar and euro.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contabo is a German company and we think in euros, but we understand that in many countries, U.S. dollar is more popular than euro. <a href=\"https:\/\/contabo.com\/blog\/contabo-reaches-100000-customers\/\">We have recently reached 100,000 customers<\/a> hailing from nearly 200 countries and our fast-growing customer community is getting more and more global.
