Founded in the spring of 2003, Contabo began as a humble operation with just a single server. Today, we're powering over 450,000 servers worldwide. Here's how we achieved this massive global growth in just 20 years.

In 2009, we launched a cutting-edge data center designed to house over 4,000 physical servers. Our support team is based right at the site, ensuring they're on hand every day of the year - holidays and weekends included - to deliver lightning-fast responses.

Originally known as "Giga-International," we rebranded to Contabo in 2013 and expanded our reach beyond local borders to serve more international customers.

By 2014, the demand for our VPS and Dedicated Servers soared, prompting us to open a second data center in Nuremberg. This facility boasts the capacity for 10,000 servers spread across a 1,700 m² (around 18,300 sq ft) floor, with a new office to ensure rapid support.

2020 marked our first venture outside Europe with the opening of data centers across Central, East, and West USA, enhancing our connectivity and service across the United States. Additional locations worldwide soon followed.

Now, more than 20 years from our humble beginnings, our team has grown from two founders to about 300 dedicated professionals. Operating across 11 locations in 9 regions on 4 continents, we continue to uphold our founding commitment to offering the best in cloud infrastructure and customer support at prices you won't find anywhere else.
