Pros & cons

Contabo
Most RAM and storage per euro of any provider here
Unlimited outgoing traffic (fair-use)
Global locations at flat EU-style prices
Displayed prices assume a 24-month term; shorter terms cost more
Shared resources are oversubscribed — performance varies
Basic panel and support; occasional provisioning delays

Unbeatable on paper specs per euro; pick it for bulk RAM/storage workloads where consistent CPU performance is not critical.

OVHcloud
Unlimited traffic with high public bandwidth (500 Mbps–3 Gbps)
Daily backup included on the VPS 2027 range
European sovereignty and wide region choice
'From' prices assume the longest commitment
Console UX is notoriously clunky
Support responsiveness varies

Strong EU value with unmetered traffic and free backups; just read the commitment terms behind the 'From' price before comparing.
