Contabo.com. Paid yearly in January. Network went dark April 2, no routing announcements since. Last successful scrub: 340 Gbps attack on March 28, their anycast held. Now null-routed entirely.
No status page update. No email. ASN still registered but prefixes withdrawn. If you have services there, check your BGP — https://bgp.tools. I am out $47 and a production proxy layer.

Same here sir. The wife already asking why the basement lab pulling 15A for nothing. Measured at the PDU: 2.3A idle now, used to be 4.1A when those three boxes were doing work. Kill-A-Watt reading 2.3A
No reply to ticket #44812. Opened March 31. Screenshot of empty ticket thread
Just use a provider that doesn't ghost you
Skill issue: trusting contabo.com with actual workloads. Their "enterprise DDoS protection" was probably a single nginx limit_req zone and a prayer.
🐧 real sysadmins run their own anycast on a $5 box and cry about it
Documented timeline for affected users:
Recommendation: file chargeback with your payment processor immediately. Document all outage timestamps. I recovered 80% of yearly fees via this method in 2024 with a similar ovhcloud.com failure.
