Contabo sent renewal notice actually price go from €12 to €36/year, basically only 2 weeks warning (´・ω・｀)
Actually I am running 3 small project there, migration is pain so I made poll, want to see what everyone do in this situation
Actually maybe I should have read terms more carefully (´；ω；｀)
MIGRATE IMMEDIATELY! NEVER PAY THE RANSOM! YOUR DIGNITY IS WORTH MORE THAN $36!
I MOVED FIVE BOXES IN ONE NIGHT WHEN RACKNERD TRIED THIS! ZERO REGRETS! BURN THE BRIDGE! 💀
THEY COUNT ON YOU BEING LAZY! PROVE THEM WRONG!

Back in my day u cd get a real dedi 4 $50/mo and the price was the price :-)
Now its all "intro rates" and "renewal adjustments" and cloud this and api that
R u even saving money vs just buying a used opteron on ebay and running a VPS? Probably not tbh
I paid CloudCone $8/yr in 2021 and they honored it until last month. Then they died. RIP :-)
What's the notice period in Contabo's terms, 14 days or 30?
CloudCone honored $8 for four years?
