Key VPS Features
Best thing about Contabo VPS? Price efficiency! Starting from 4,99 € you get your own virtual server with an operating system of your choice and full root access. A Virtual Private Server is a great way to get an independent computing instance at an unmatched price point.
You can choose the type of storage that goes with each VPS. Go with a super fast NVMe storage with over 1,000,000 IOPS or a large SSD drive if space is more important than speed for you. If you can't decide, you can have both thanks to NVMe Storage Expansion Add-On.
Each VPS comes with 32 TB of outgoing and unlimited incoming traffic included with a connection speed between 200 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. In reality this is equal to unlimited traffic for 99.98% of our customers. Unlike some of our competitors, at Contabo we will never charge you extra for incoming or outgoing data transfer on your Virtual Private Server.
Every day we provision hundreds of VPS with an average time of 20 minutes. Make sure to pay for Virtual Private Server with credit card so that we can provision it right away without waiting for money to arrive.

The Technology Behind VPS
In Contabo we have almost 20 years of experience in running VPS, so we know what type of hardware guarantees long lasting and stable performance. Looking at our prices you might be surprised to learn that we use only brand new high-quality components from companies like Intel, AMD and Samsung. No matter we pay more for that type of hardware, it offers greater stability and performance while running virtualization, so it's a better choice for host systems than cheap alternatives.
Apart from hardware used, the orchestration of virtualization is what makes a difference in VPS performance. Our virtualization is based on KVM and Proxmox, which have a longstanding track record as stable and reliable technologies. On top of that, we have proprietary technology we use to optimize the utilization of each host system. We constantly monitor the load and we cluster together VPS with different usage patterns.
