Is there a better offer than Contabo's VPS S?
Contabo VPS S SSD:
- 4 cores
- 8gb ram
- 200mbit/s unlimited
- 200gb "optane" ssd
4.99€/month
The only offer close to that is Wishosting:
KVM Special
- 2 vCPU core AMD Opteron 6128
- 8GB ECC RAM
- 200GB HDD RAID-1
- Unmetered 250Mbps bandwidth
6.99$/month
I'm mainly looking for at least 4gb ram, at least 60gb ssd, possibly unmetered (or >10tb) at least 100mbit network. CPU as much as possible, i'm gonna run some encoding tasks sometimes but if they go slow i surely won't die. KVM.

@Ed,
Contabo is the bottom of the bottom barrel.
So, nope.
[Yawn] Here we go again.

Why are you tagging people that don't exist
I know, but they also are quite solid and can meet expectations.
if you consider the priceNot even with lower specs as per my last sentence?
Ay lmao is that guy me
Your best bet is asking Contabo themselves.
Doesn't matter if you lower specs in that budget.
P.S. I tag by people's soulnames. For an example, if I am to tag myself, I'd tag @nigh_jackass. I call Jar @Jarlard. I call WSS @WUSS. I call donli @dolniliano and so on.
I disagree, they are fantastic from a price/performance perspective. Manage your expectations and you'll be surprised.
Managing expectations is the prime enjoy of using a bottom barrel host.
I noticed that FIrst Root offers a quite nice KVM Power Edition:
8,76eur/m
Could go with a higher budget tbh
Didn't say that he was you!
Such a plot twist. It's come a full circle.
If you think you might be someone else some therapy might help.
Thanks for mentioning us. Just wanted to drop it's not unlimited traffic. But we have real enterprise ssd, no "ssd" or "ssd boosted" or "ssd performance".
Unlimited as in "they won't kill my connection if i go over traffic". You just limit the speed which is fine to me.
I think that's unmetered.
Then you are more than welcome
I don't think you can get a better deal than that for encoding purposes, maybe you can wait for a kimsufi flash sale?
Idk. I'm willing to spend up to 10€ tbh
Perhaps I should get a vps m just for the added performance?
Could be worth it with 400 Mbit/s instead of 200
Do you still have the serverscope of the vps ssd m?

lololol
When even willie "lol"s, you know the end is truly nigh.
@Ympker @contabo_m
Are serverscopes of the VPS L SSD and VPS XL SSD available? I'd like to compare to my current dedi, especially CPU-wise and network wise
@edfox not from our end, sorry.
Any way to get a vps for 1-2 hours to do some quick tests? Or do i have to pay for one month of service i'm not gonna use?
@edfox we do not offer such trial / testing periods, you would have to go for a whole month, sorry for not having better news.
@contabo_m
Please kindly clarify '"optane" ssd'. I guess you mean optane cached SSDs. Please clarify.
@contabo critics
Do you have facts and numbers? If no, what's your criticism based on?
It is based on PMS.
There you go. Serverscope and many others are in the OP of the thread: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/122471/contabo-vps-ssd-xl-benchmarks
