Contabo: finally a host that doesn't do fake sales

Wesh la famille !

Incha'allah this post finds you well. Since 2020 I am looking for a host that does not play the fake sale game every black friday. You know the type : 80% off but only if you pay 3 years upfront, and next month the "sale" price is the normal price. Le scam حلو ?

I found Contabo in 2023. Same price in january, july, november. No countdown timer. No "only 3 left !" bullshit. The server is حلو, the price is halal, and my blood pressure thanks them.

I am on their Cobalt 2 plan :

• 4 vCPU (AMD EPYC 7443)
• 8 GB RAM
• 160 GB NVMe
• €12/month since jan 2023

Same page today. Same price. Incha'allah they keep this energy.

1) skepticism
A) this is deals-offers
B) every host does fake sales
C) you are probably shilling
2) however
A) I have seen Contabo mentioned before
B) not always positively
C) but never for fake sales specifically
3) request for evidence
A) screenshots ?
B) invoice history ?
C) I) not that I don't trust you
Ii) but I don't trust anyone

Thanks for the kind words, moebig — we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

For anyone curious about our current Cobalt lineup:

• Cobalt 2: 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM / 160 GB NVMe — €12/mo
• Cobalt 4: 8 vCPU / 16 GB RAM / 320 GB NVMe — €24/mo
• Cobalt 8: 16 vCPU / 32 GB RAM / 640 GB NVMe — €48/mo

We do run occasional promotions for new customers (first month at 50% off, that sort of thing), but our base rates don't move around. Happy to check specific availability via DM if anyone's looking at a particular region.
