Prepare your wallet.
Comments
Well it's contabo so my wallet is safe
I hope it's new DC in SG 😅
If their io speed can be better, then my wallet is not safe at all
I think these speeds (for VPS SSD M) are fine tbh:
See here
Can you also run an IOPS test?
I dont have any vps atm, sorey
Contabo launched US location at almost the same pricing!
https://blog.contabo.com/company/contabo-introduces-new-data-center-location-in-the-united-states/
Aside from the “location fee”
Great Prices
We keep the same base price for all our services in both EU and US locations. At the same time, we are introducing a Location Fee for our US location as the operating costs in the US (including electricity, cooling and data center floor) are higher. The Location Fee depends on the service you order:
VPS S SSD: +1 EUR / month
VPS M SSD: +2 EUR / month
VPS L SSD: +3 EUR / month
VPS XL SSD: +6 EUR / month
Dedicated Server 10-core: +20 EUR / month
For example, the price for VPS S SSD in US Location is 4.99 EUR + 1 EUR Location Fee, which is roughly 6.55 USD per month for 4 cores, 8 GB RAM, and 200 GB SSD disk space.
Doesn’t seem to be live yet but apparently current customers can transfer from EU.
Fair enough. Still great pricing for US
I used to own a 4.99 vps , and it had only 110M/s io
According to facebook, they have a new location in St.Louis now.
(also when looking at their website, they seemingly stopped offering colo)
That's the default you have to request it to have the 300 from the bench.
That's their artifical abuse limit in place. Just call or open a ticket and it will be lifted
I am sure @contabo_m can confirm this
Tbh providing Colo is probably more trouble than it's worth. Especially in times like these.
Any test ip for the new location?
Yes and no. For most contracts around here, yes.
There are some very lucrative colo contracts out there with business clients.
A test IP would be awesome indeed

But they didn't hide it before their announcement. Some may have noticed their preparations in the ARIN database.
Fyi for those wanting migrations they won't start until May. So if you want the new location you have to order a new server.
that's very helpful thanks. so the same datacenter as vXchange and XO Communications...
New Hardware or old models?
Their SSD series. They state which processors they're using. Usually newer ones.
Lets see how long it takes to provision :-)
What is up with all of the german providers only serving st louis? It's so out of the way, is there some special thing there? server4you, velia, hosteurope, serverloft?
Also, 20Gbps total when they are selling 1G unmetered on a VPS seems a bit contended
same parent company
https://www.heg.com/
Ok, Intel® Xeon® E5-2620v3 not the latest sh*t..
proof? contabo is a part of heg / Hosteurope / godaddy?
Look which companies he listet (Not contabo):
He is not talking about Contabo.
oh wow. totally did not realise that velia was also HEG now. I am still surprised though that it was a location in the first place - I just don't see anything hosted there in general, so it was odd that another german provider would pick it.
i think 1&1 (german company) is nearby in lenexa?
Awesome, preparing to backup 😁
