Not recommended ,I subscribed to a VPS…
Not recommended ,I subscribed to a VPS plan that was advertised at around $5 per month, but after some time the price gradually increased to $8 and then over $9 per month.
This was not clearly explained at the beginning, and I was surprised by the extra charges. The service itself is stable, but the pricing transparency is not very clear for new customers.
I recommend that Contabo clearly inform users about the long-term renewal price and any additional fees before purchase to avoid confusion.

Hello Josef,
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience.
I want to clarify that the price adjustment for some of our older VPS models was communicated via email before any action was taken.
I’ve sent you a separate email with more details and would appreciate your reply so we can assist you further. There are some alternative solution for your case and I'm sure we can reach a good long-term resolution.
Best regards,

I’ve had a positive experience with…
I’ve had a positive experience with Contabo so far. The pricing is very competitive compared to other providers, and the performance meets my expectations for the cost. Setting up the server was straightforward, and everything worked as described.
What I appreciate most is the stability — no major downtime issues, and the resources are consistent. Support responses may take some time, but they are helpful once you get a reply.
Overall, it’s a great solution if you’re looking for an affordable VPS with solid performance. I would definitely recommend it for developers and small projects.

Frustration in paying for my invoice…
Frustration in paying for my invoice why is there no button on the invoice on my dashboard to pay when am ready. When is it full automatic.
After all the fear have read about contabo debiting unnecessary I didn't put a money on my card as I was scared of that and it's my first time using contabo.
First payment failed and I decided to put money on my card
But why is it that when I funded my card the amount that was debited wasn't what they where supposed to debit they just removed a small money from the account without renewing my vps. And there was sufficient money to renew the vps this time
And I just have few days to when it expires I don't even no what to do again.
Is there a way to manually pay for invoice myself

Hello Ighalo,
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience.
Kindly note that the pre-auth process is happening automatically 3 days before the scheduled renewal. The payment is being kept on-hold until the actual renewal date and this is a standard billing process. Alternatively, you can manually top up your Contabo account balance, prepay or prolong.
I’ve sent you a separate email with more details and would appreciate your reply so we can assist you further.

I’ve been a VPS user for a long time
I’ve been a VPS user for a long time, but I purchased an object storage service three days ago. For some ridiculous reason, I’ve been blacklisted and can’t use the service! Their support system is very slow—they only respond once a day. I definitely do not recommend them!

Overall Great
The pricing is clear. The service is stable. The customer support is responsive. The prices themselves are extremely competitive.
The only thing that need some improvement is the consolidation of management plane. Having two panels and having to switch between them for some specific tasks is cumbersome.
