Stay Away from Contabo – The Worst Hosting Company Ever!
This is by far the worst hosting provider I've ever dealt with. At first, they lure you in with cheap prices, but once something goes wrong, the real nightmare begins.
Servers constantly crash, services go offline, and when that happens - there is absolutely NO real support.
No one answers the phone, no one replies to emails. You're left in the dark for hours or even days.
Lost your project? Client websites offline? They simply don't care.
They lie, they delay, they make excuses, and they never take responsibility.
When you want to cancel or ask for a refund, they do everything to block and ignore you.
Choosing Contabo is like setting your business on fire.
If your work, clients, and data matter to you, do NOT trust this company.
Terrible service. Terrible support.
Total disaster.

Terrible Support & Unreliable Service – Stay Away!
I had a critical issue with my server's SSD, which I reported to Contabo on February 13th. Despite multiple follow-ups, they failed to provide any resolution for four days. As a result, I lost clients and suffered financial damages due to their incompetence.
Their support is slow, unresponsive, and completely unhelpful. They claim to care about customer satisfaction, but in reality, they do nothing to fix urgent problems. If you are running a business and rely on uptime, Contabo is a massive risk.
I will never renew my services with this company, and I strongly advise against using Contabo if you value reliability and proper support.

Support ZERO
Ich bin der IT-Verantwortliche von Herrn Alain Savey und habe vor mehreren Tagen ein Support-Ticket bei Contabo [#16239389997] eröffnet wegen eines einfachen technischen Problems. Trotz mehrerer Nachfragen habe ich noch keine Antwort oder Lösung erhalten. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht über die langsame Kundenbetreuung und das Fehlen einer Rückmeldung. Dies beeinträchtigt direkt mein Geschäft, und ich hoffe, dass diese Nachricht die Aufmerksamkeit der zuständigen Teams auf sich zieht, um das Problem schnell zu lösen. Der Service, für den ich bezahlt habe, sollte vollständig funktionsfähig sein.

Headache Vendor and Effectively no Customer Service
Contabo is a problematic provider to say the least. There support is virtually non-existent. And from first hand experience the review Contabo has around the web must be paid out of pocket by contabo. Is this a banker's hours shop or what? The site is down and two support tickets open one for at least 12 hours now and no response. This is not a reliable trustworthy vendor. What advantages experienced via value are overshadowed via there extremely bad customer service/technical support. Then on top of that this provider is WOKE enabled. Documents are available to prove every bit of these claims.

Down for 2 days - Contabo support DOES NOT EXIST
How can anyone in the data center business run a company this way?
Phone support: almost impossible to ever get someone to pickup and if they do they hang up on you. They don't even have phone support at weekends. This is the 24/7 internet age! not 1971.
Writing support tickets you are lucky to get a reply in 2 DAYS and then it is clear whoever replies has not even bothered to READ the ticket.
This is disgraceful! Shame on you Contabo! We have been with you 7 years and your support and service is now in the toilet.

No longer recommend
After 5 years together and bringing more than 17 clients to Contabo,
it's time to say go to hell to this disgraceful company. They don't take their work seriously at all.
This summer their servers were down for days not just minutes. That is completely unacceptable! Issues like these must be fixed in minutes, not in days. I can no longer recommend their services to anyone. Their communication with clients is built on nothing but lies.
Today I lost a lot of money because of Contabo, and I still have a lot of extra hours of work ahead of me to move all my projects to other cloud provider.

Stay away from this. Better for you.
ZERO support.
ZERO reliability.
ZERO on everything.
They attract customers with considerably cheap prices but stay away from this provider if you can as what you get is very poor.
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Their support is not even near to be called support.
Stay away as much as possible

Great Performance and Value, But Needs Improvement in Delivery and Support
I've been using Contabo for a while now, and I must say, their servers are impressive in terms of performance. They offer a solid balance of power and affordability, making them a great option for anyone looking for a reliable VPS without breaking the bank. The servers handle workloads efficiently, and the uptime has been consistently good.
However, there are areas where Contabo could improve. The delivery time for new servers is often slower than expected, which can be frustrating when you're eager to get started. Additionally, their customer service and ticket response times could use some work. It often takes longer than it should to get a response, and the support team can be slow to address issues.
Overall, Contabo provides great value and performance, but a few improvements in their delivery process and customer support would make the experience even better. If they can speed up their response times, they'd be close to perfect.
