Billing and invoices are not…

Billing and invoices are not satisfactory for an italian public administration. I think we will need to adopt a more expensive provider.

Hello Emanuele,

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience with the billing and invoicing process.

I have investigated it further and I believe that your issue is fixed now.

I’ve sent you a separate email with more details and would appreciate your reply so we can assist you further.

Best regards,

Not convenient like it was in the past.

Not convenient like it was in the past.
They claim a lot of cores but each one is very slow.
Support is not very fast.
Works fine otherwise.

High-performance servers

High-performance servers, an excellent quality-to-price ratio, and above all, outstanding support. They respond even late into the evening and get problems solved.

Invoices, UCE and server-farm location

Sometimes your ip-adresses (like AS51167) are on UCEPROTECT-Level 3 and it is impossible to send e-mails to some destinations: they get rejected. Be sure to have your IPs clean and take problematic clients offline as soon as possible.

As I am in Italy and have to deal with italian bureaucracy, it is a hassle to register foreign invoices. So I always prefer yearly invoices. Please make the selection of yearly payments simpler or the default.

I choose Contabo around 10 years ago, because it is in Germany and has good prices, but recently you moved most servers to France.

It would be nice to have an italian ip-address (for SEO purposes). Ever thought to open a server-farm in Italy?

I was fed up with the usual hosting providers, so for a new project I found you guys and immediately purchased a VPS20 (12GB of RAM, and I chose a 100NVMe). I’m very satisfied so far, thanks in part to the fact that I can manage all my hosting through Antigravity! I installed CloudPanel on my server. Then one thing led to another, and I created my own system for sending and transferring large files—iutransfer.com—and added an extra 250GB of object storage specifically to manage this project! Other than that, I’d like a bit faster response times for support tickets.

Great prices (as an european) for Great server localization, i only bought VPS but the customer service is on top for such a small price,i can suggest you to buy the vps during hollydays because Contabo tend to put various type of discount!

I’ve been using Contabo servers for personal projects for over three years, and I can honestly say that I’ve never experienced any issues with service availability, technical performance, or purchases and renewals. Their prices are excellent, so my overall feedback is highly positive.
