"Highly unreliable. Server under a "Non planned maintenance" and not available for more than a wee"
0/5
What do you like best about Contabo?

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

What do you dislike about Contabo?

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.

"The worst VPS provider you can find on the market"
0/5
What do you like best about Contabo?

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.

What do you dislike about Contabo?

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.

"Running complex rendering jobs"
4/5
What do you like best about Contabo?

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.

What do you dislike about Contabo?

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.

"Repeated downtimes without notice. Poor customer service. No regrets, care a hang attitude."
0/5
What do you like best about Contabo?

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.

What do you dislike about Contabo?

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.

"Review for Contabo"
4/5
What do you like best about Contabo?

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 do you dislike about Contabo?

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.
