The only positive thing about Contabo is the price. However, the service is so poor that even the low cost isn’t worth it. You end up paying for constant frustration, unreliable performance, and non-existent support. It’s better to spend a little more on a provider that actually delivers what they promise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contabo has been the single worst experience I’ve ever had in 15 years of working with online services. My website has been offline for over two weeks due to their abysmal service. The server is painfully slow, making it impossible to use even when it’s technically online.

Their customer support is an absolute joke. All they do is stall with vague replies, showing no intention of actually solving the problem. After two weeks of downtime and frustration, they refused to offer a refund for their completely failed service. I’ve been left with no choice but to file a dispute with my bank to try to get my money back.

This is incompetence on a whole new level. Contabo is unreliable, unprofessional, and frankly feels like a scam. Save yourself the nightmare and stay far away from them. There are far better providers out there that actually deliver on their promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contabo has a decent sales department and quick setup. It's everything after set up that is horrendous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In 30 years, I have never experienced a hosting company even NEARLY as bad as Contabo.

Their tech support is virtually non-existent.

If you call their ph number, you get a recording in German telling you to write an email/ticket.

Their ticket system is ridiculous. Once you open a ticket, there is nothing in your account to view open tickets or manage them in anyway.

We had a simple question re: WHM and adding a feature they failed to install. A week or so later, they still hadn't solved it. We hired a 3rd party tech support agency and they resolved it in under 20 minutes!

Weeks later, our server went offline.

After 44 hours, Contabo still hadn't fixed it. Contabo still couldn't tell us what was wrong. They just sent us occasional snarky emails telling us things like "you can email us all you want" and "but it's not going to hurry the issue..." No one to call. No way to check tickets.. After nearly 48 hours of no server-- we restored an off-server back up and moved somewhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is interesting. Had good reviews but was tricked by this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had many issues with Contabo

1. Had low performance for a long time with a server. After heavy investigation, it turned out the server was bad so they had to change it. This happened more than once.

2. This is the most critical part. Server was not reachable for over a week. Couldn't submit a ticket and they mention on their website "No maintenance". Highly non-reliable and would never trust them again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives clean IPs of server. Also the communication is also good. They provide all solutions easily. Also they provide web hosting and many things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes they blocked port 25 of servers. And all the thing is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked Contabo a year ago, but now I don't have anything that I do like, as they are currently the worst provider you can possibly find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have the highest downtime rate. They are cheap, but still not worth the money. They don't offer a good support when it's important to you. They have had a downtime for 26 hours recently and wasn't responding in that time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For my money though, Contabo has the greatest advantage when it comes to power. I have a lot of demanding software that I use in my design agency and Contabo’s VPS plans coped well with everything that I threw at them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found it difficult to buy into Contabo’s backup system. For one, recharging them felt terribly slow and cumbersome. I work closely with confidential information from clients, so I needed a solution to back up my system, which I later replaced by a third-party back-up tool.

There is nothing good about them at all. The reviews that they show on their website are fabricated. The ratings that they show are fake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Server goes down repeatedly.

2. The downtimes are not even reported on their status page.

3. Support tickets remain unanswered for days.

4. Absolutely nothing is done to prevent recurrence. You will go through it again and again in frustration.

5. You will have nightmare migrating.

6. Frequent switches between datacenters and server reboots without informing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Contabo is the great value. Their VPS plans are affordable and reliable. It's easy to set up, and you can upgrade resources whenever you need. Their customer support is also really helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Contabo is that their control panel feels a bit outdated and not as user-friendly as some other hosting providers. It can be a bit tricky to navigate at times. Also, their initial setup can take longer compared to other hosts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now nothing, before that prices and packages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliability failed us and our clients. Support - a mythical creature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is the cheapest option available in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

zero support, simple request for restart of the server not honoured from last 7 days passed. after 2 days they stopped responding to any of my email.

I am still waiting for them to respond. Though I have opted for another provider for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
