Bitcoin, USDT, Litecoin and five more coins, paid up front. You sign up with an email address, and there is no ID check to order.

Windows Server 2025 or 2022 with Remote Desktop, or Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux with root over SSH. Administrator or root from the first login.
Your own IPv4
Each server has one dedicated IPv4 address and DDoS protection, managed from one panel with reinstall, console and restart.
And the price?
We compare no prices here. Plans differ in processor, disk and what is included, so a single line would mislead more than it helps. Ours are in the pricing table, for your country and with VAT shown.
How we compared
Every entry about Contabo comes from Contabo's own website as of November 2026, and we keep the source for each one. Terms change. If something here is out of date, tell us and we correct it.
Paid up front. Nothing renews by itself.
