Contabo.com Review

Contabo.com Thumbnail

Background

Business Name: Contabo GmbH

Year of foundation: 2003

Location: Munich, Germany

BBB Accreditation: No

Market Size: > 3K websites (#83 in HRank list)

Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Increasing

Contabo.com is a Germany-based company, the history of which dates back to 2003.

It is a relatively small hosting provider owning two data centers, one in Munich and one in Nuremberg, established in 2013 and 2014.

Run by two Germans – Michael Herpich and Michael Bölke – (and a team of other IT professionals), it was previously known as Giga-International.

Their website design is really outdated and needs to be overhauled.


Offers and Pricing

Shared Hosting Plans
Name Domains Disk Bandwidth Min Price Billing Term
M 1 50 Gb Unlim $3.4 1 Mo
L 1 100 Gb Unlim $5.67 1 Mo
XL 2 250 Gb Unlim $9.07 1 Mo
XXL 3 500 Gb Unlim $11.35 1 Mo

They offer 4 shared hosting plans that are offered only to be purchased monthly (no yearly or other plans.)

The prices in the table above are in US dollars and here are the original prices in Euro:

  • Package M 2.99 EUR/mo
  • Package L 4.99 EUR/mo
  • Package XL 7.99EUR/mo
  • Package XXL 9.9EUR/mo

Mind this: “The prices of all offers include statutory sales tax.”

No setup fees.

Among their services are

  • E-mail sotutions,
  • Domains,
  • Dedicated servers,
  • VPS, and colocation.

Contabo appears to belong to a kind of small companies which are responsible and eager to provide high-quality services despite not being a giant.

Their representatives answer on hosting review websites and address the issues about which people complain – and it should be noted that such complaints are rare, as most customers are satisfied and like the professional approach used by the team in question.


Support

Instant Technical Live Support: No

You can contact them only by phone (within working hours) and mail, so there is no 24/7 support; though they are reportedly quick to respond within working hours, which offsets the inconvenience.


HRank Summary Analysis by HRank

And so does their performance: Contabo scored only 3.0 HRank in 2018 and its position on the list was close to the very end of it: 223. The 2019 year was ended with 3.0 HRank and 209th position.

Contabo had many downtimes in the monitoring period, quite enough to spoil its performance rank for good.

The next thing that worsened it was slow response time that mostly stayed in 1,000ms1,300ms range. Slower responses were not rare, but not a rule.

Yet, what is interesting and very surprising is the fact that Contabo didn’t actually lose domains in the monitoring period. Quite the reverse: it increased its number of websites slightly. Bad performance didn’t seem to bother anyone.

Super unprofessional and fraudulent, violating GDPR asking for ID card when ID has already been verified by PayPal and payment made by PayPal!

Instead of setting up my VPS they are violating my right to privacy, asking documents they have no right to and delaying my work!
