See Why Customers Love Contabo

"I've been using Contabo's VPS for self-hosting Bitwarden for about six months now, and I'm really impressed with the service. The performance is solid - my password vault syncs quickly across all my devices, and I've never had any issues with downtime. Just be prepared to handle your own server management - but for me, that's part of the fun! "
