Just curious: are you @deadbeef of old?
-
Congrats on your first post
-
As @deank and @sanvit said, there's a guaranteed redundancy (RAID6) for the added storage (which is housed separately from the VPS on a different server). If you simply need more disk space, go for a bigger VPS.
-
But that VPS storage isn't SSD. It's "SSD-boosted", which is SSD caching. The disk itself is HDD.
-
Not quite as bad as LET, but still pretty bad
-
Incredible
-
If I recall well, early last autumn, they raised the raised the prices to these, and then they reduced them by crossing out the raised prices. As far as I can remember, these prices are the raised prices from early last autumn.
-
Ouch. Increased demand?
-
Well, the results from fio are definitely better, so I guess that it really is true that Contabo limit i/o on their SSDs. (Personally, I'm not such a fan of this policy: "We limit the i/o, but you submit a ticket and ask nicely, we may increase the limit, but it's preferable if no one knows about this possibility.")
-
Wow, is this the best that you can do? Am disappoint.

Who joked about 10000 dead people? First of all, there's nothing wrong with Corona beer (which I've had on a number of occasions). I said that I had a craving for a Corona beer in reaction to that cartoon, and that cartoon was in no way a joke about 10000 dead people, and neither was my statement that I had a craving for a…
-
Some people have said that Contabo limit i/o on their SSD VPSes, and that the limit can be raised/removed with a ticket. To what extent this is true (and whether it applies to all customers), I can't say, because I've never had a VPS with them.
-
Maybe try to grow up a bit? If growing up a bit is too difficult, then minimally: keep that on the other forum.
-
Naturally, the scores aren't outstanding, but I would say that this VPS is a great value for money for an all-round VPS
-
I asked Contabo once about custom ISOs, and they said no. (But they can do custom installations for a price.)
-
My experience with their support has also been positive, but I could imagine that if one contacts them about a non-urgent issue on a weekend or holiday, then it may take them a day or more to reply.
-
Bear in mind that the immediately advertised monthly prices for their regular servers are for a contract of 12 months. If you want the freedom of a contract for one month, then the monthly prices are (mostly) one euro higher. So, for example, vServer S SSD G3 costs 7,99 € / month for a contract of 12 months and costs 8,99…

You should try to be more understanding -- he's trying to recover from his VPS addiction ;)
-
Offers from PHP-Friends are always tempting :)
-
I haven't seen this practice before (not even netcup do this! =) ). I wonder whether it's legal, but perhaps it technically is. The main disadvantage for a business customer is that a service at Contabo costs more than one initially thinks. As I said earlier in this thread, private customers arguably benefit from this…
-
True, but ultimately it's the choice of the provider to do this or not. The advantage for private customers is that they all pay the same net price, independently of the VAT rate of their country of residence.
-
I'm glad that we've cleared things up :) As for Contabo, it would be worth a ticket to ask them about it. In the case of a non-German EU business customer, it may be a manual change that Contabo have to make to the invoice. But if Contabo really reduce the VAT to zero and raise the net price for a non-German EU business…
-
So perhaps I did understand you correctly the first time after all :) But isn't this the way the system works: that a business customer can deduct VAT? In any case, @Elmo's issue seems to be a different one, namely, that he (a business customer) cannot deduct VAT (and not that he can deduct VAT). (But perhaps I've…
-
I probably misunderstood what you wanted to say: yes, if a business customer cannot deduct VAT and pays the same end-price as a private customer, then this is unfair. (If this is what you meant.) (I think that I didn't quite follow the formulation of your remark "there is always some kind of unfairness as in this scenario…
-
It's unusual but not utterly strange for private customers from different EU countries to pay the same net price: in this case, the provider (here, Contabo) needs to absorb the difference between the different VAT rates. (I believe that PHP-Friends have or at least had this practice.) But it seems strange to me that an EU…
-
Just curious: how is this unfair? I mean, yes, sure, business customers can deduct the VAT, but they have other tax obligations.
