My recent thoughts when trying Contabo for the first time.
PaulKeeble•1h ago
When I used Contabo I had to harden this aspect immediately. Stopped root logins and passwords and made a separate user with a key. Its a really bad default setup from a security point of view.

I had issues with performance as well. I could never explain why I couldn't utilise the bandwidth fully it would only work in very short bursts and very quickly was throttling the connection. The problem is the workload I had I needed that peak bandwidth once every 2 weeks for a day and then it would mostly be idle and all of the usage was outside of peak but still the bandwidth got throttled consistently and I moved to netcup.

Yeah, I saw they have the typical note that they reserve the right to throttle any CPU/traffic as needed. But I guess if they don't have sophisticated rules for throttling they have both edge cases like yours where they are overly strict and still other loopholes that can be abused.

Too bad Userify is too expensive for a lot of VPS-style projects (free for less than five instances, but we blow through that pretty fast most of the time)
