Contabo $18 became $89 with zero warning · General Discussion

Fallenpure, Denver. Did anyone try negotiating? Like "match HostHatch or I walk"? Or are they too big to care now?

My experience with budget hosts: under 50 employees, sometimes yes. Contabo feels too big, too automated. The ticket response time was 36 hours, that's "we have 100k customers" scale.

Fair enough. I've got a Debian 10 box still running for similar driver hell reasons, RTL-SDR stuff that won't compile on bullseye. Not internet-facing though, local shack only. Different risk calculation.
