    Can you run this benchmark script in Contabo VPS?
    wget --no-check-certificate https://gist.github.com/priyadarshan/1a725ed6b7c6e578ee506dc82b75f547/raw/3da571b0175ea827bdff71244187ae076b2e4e2f/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null | bash

    Last time I used Contabo the VPS worked great but the packet loss was so bad at times that I couldn’t use SSH. I had to cancel it.

    Been considering picking one of those VPSes up again for a few a few weeks now. Would make for a good archiving box.

    When did you use Contabo the last time?I currently got one of their cheaper SSD-based offerings running a few months and thus far I've not had any issues with the network.

    Just checked my e-mail and can only find Contabo e-mails from 2015. I either don’t have the newer e-mails anymore OR time went by a lot faster than it felt like! Haha.

    iirc support once told me it is possible if you send them the iso and they do it manually.

    I doubt they would mount stuff like Windows ISO's though.

    Site's performance depends on many factors. So here is the dummy http://173.249.20.61/. I suppose you can do all your checks with it.

    @contabo_m Do you have any plan available with half or lesser configurations and price below VPS S SSD?

    Unfortunately not, with regard to VPS we can only provide the offers displayed on our website. It is not possible to further customize the hardware specs of our VPS at the moment. Should this ever become an option in the future, we will of course inform you via our website/blog/social media.

  • contabo is the biggest scammer. when you buy a server after a few days they send you a spam email. mostly we not check spam/junk box emails. after 2 days they close the server and ask for 30 euro for handling abuse report. this is not fair. don't buy a server from contabo.

    From your language, the problem is 99.9% you.

    Continue to buy Contabo servers please.

    ^^ Maxing out cpu cores at 100% is allowed.

    @Naxid said:
    Does somebody knows something about the cpu usage? Don't want to burst it 24/7 but are bursts allowed ?

    Contacted their support. You are allowed to fully use them and ofc also burst. If you are continuously running at 100% you may encounter performance issues as cores are still ( virtual)shared.

    I too contacted the support and got a different reply.

    My question:

    2) In the 100% SSD VPS series, can I use 100% power of the cpu cores continuously? If not, what are the restrictions?

    Reply I got:

    Regarding your second question we have to tell you that a VPS is not intended to be used at 100% CPU usage all the time. This is because it is a shared hosting. If you need the full performance all the time you have to go with one of our Dedicated Server:

    What's wrong with that though? Yes, you can use and boost your cores the way you like it but they are kindly informing you that a VPS is still a shared environment so if everyone goes 100% 24/7 you may experience a different performance than if you rented a Dedicated Server. Hence the recommendation to get a dedi if you need to rely on 24/7 100% performance. With a VPS, noisy neighbours can still ruin the fun for you.

    What's wrong with that? Also it's 100% SSD and not 100% resource. Means servers will have SSD and not hybrid with HDD cache.

    And they are right that you should buy a dedicated server instead if you want 100% CPU resources all time
