Get more background on Contabo's history and our principlesFocused on providing German Quality
Since founding in 2003 Contabo is committed to provide German quality with global availability. We focus on the stability of our Data Centers, rigorous internal processes and the high standards of customer support.
Incredible Prices
While everyone brags about their prices, we actually deliver on this promise. For example whenever choosing hardware we not only look at the raw performance, but also on the purchase price in relation to performance and power consumption. Read more about how we keep our prices low.
Customer Is King
In Contabo we believe that every customer deservers a Premium Support Experience no matter they spend thousands or just $8.49 a month. That's why we've set rigorous quality standards for our support team making sure that your experience is as good as possible. The great reviews we get only makes us work harder.
The History of Contabo
Culpa laboris consectetur ad ad anim aliquip voluptate.2003Beginning
Contabo GmbH was established in the spring of 2003 in Munich, the capital city of Bavaria, in southern Germany. Giga-International - as it was know at that time - has been steadily growing from just one single server in the data center to more than 15,000 servers today. Let's take a closer look at how this happened.
2009
In 2009, we established a new state-of-art data center in Munich with space for more than 4,000 servers. Our offices were also located on site in order to ensure quick reaction time from our support team 365 days a year (including holidays and weekends).
2013
At the beginning of 2013, we changed our company name from the aforementioned "Giga-International" to "Contabo". At that point, we also started to go beyond the traditional German market and offer our hosting services internationally.
2014
In order to meet the increasing demand for our VPS and Dedicated Servers, we launched our second data center in Nuremberg in 2014. This new data center is capable of hosting 10.000 servers on the 1.700 m² data center floor. Together with the new data center, a new office was opened on site to maintain quick reaction times.
2020
Fast forward to 2020 when we opened our first data center outside Europe. With the opening of the data center in St. Louis, Missouri, for the very first time we offered better latency for our customers not only in the United States, but also in North & South America in general.
Now
No matter almost 20 years have passed since the beginning, and we have grown from 2 people to a team of 100+ employees, we are still following the same founding principles of maintaining German quality of both the server infrastructure and support team while offering incredible prices.
4 Reasons Behind Contabo Low Prices
Keeping prices low is deep in Contabo DNAScale & Standarization
Our prices are low prices because of the effects of scale. Of course companies like AWS are bigger than us, but unlike most of our competitors we have a fully unified hardware platform in all Data Centers around the world. Thanks to that we not only get better discounts on purchase prices (which we then can pass on to our customers), but we also save money & time on maintenance.Optimization
We use proprietary optimization scripts to manage load on our servers. This way we are able to offer stable performance for all our customers at great price point. Also our logistics and warehouse management are optimized to reduce waste and thus give us space to offer even better prices.Lean Culture
Germans are known for looking at every euro twice before spending it. And we are no different. We don't invest in premium office locations or expensive company cars. Even our CEO shares the room with 3 other people. Thanks to this lean approach, even with our low prices, we are profitable.Company details

"If there is a host I recommend, then Contabo is it. At first I was thinking if I should go for Contabo or not due to the amount of people saying it was a scam or that stuff like bandwidth and etc were not really unlimited or at X speed, but I risked and I can say that all the specs they advertise are true."
