"If there is a host I recommend, then Contabo is it. At first I was thinking if I should go for Contabo or not due to the amount of people saying it was a scam or that stuff like bandwidth and etc were not really unlimited or at X speed, but I risked and I can say that all the specs they advertise are true."

"I did recently switch to the Contabo servers from DigitalOcean. Firstly I was skeptical because it was super-cheap in comparison to what I had to pay on DigitalOcean. Now I know that the decision was correct, as the increased capabilities also helped with page response times, and other SEO factors. I definitively recommend it as an ideal solution for anyone who needs a single reliable resource handling dozens of applications." Karel Boháč ,
