Hi!

For the past few years I've been hosting most of my services on Contabo VPSs (Immich, Nextcloud, and a few others).

They used to offer a great price to specs ratio, but have lately been awful to me as a customer. (drastically increasing the price to force me to change product, and then doing the same weeks after migrating to their new product).

I don't really trust them anymore, especially since the only way to make them react to my problem was to give them a bad trustpilot review..

So anyway I am looking for advice on a different VPS provider based on the EU. I mostly need a lot of SSD space (800Gb minimum), at least 4 vCPU cores, and a decent amount of RAM. The maximum I'm willing to pay per month is around 20€.

Anything you could recommend? Ideally with a good track record of maintaining their prices.

Have a good week end!

If you want cheap and simple - Time4VPS. I am with them for a couple of years and for the price there is nothing really to complain about. If you take 2y contract, the cheapest plans are like €2.5/month.

If you do decide to maybe go with them, it would be appreciated if you could use my affiliate link, otherwise... just type Time4VPS into google. They are based in Lithuania.
