Every service, ranked by real customers

Calls Contabo the worst host they have used in 15 years.

Moved hosting from Azure web apps to Linux on Hetzner with Cloudflare edge caching and cut the monthly cost dramatically.

Finds Contabo good value and flexible for both site and email hosting.

Runs KVM 2 plans and advises paying monthly, since one plan kept its old price while another jumped sharply on the next bill. Cancelling anytime is a plus for them.

Finds Contabo low quality, with roughly 30 percent CPU steal that forces buying more vCPUs than needed.

Uses RackNerd and checked their plan: about a year for a modest price with 2 cores, 3.5GB RAM, a 65GB drive and plenty of bandwidth, seen as roughly on par in price with a pricier Hostinger plan.

Moved servers from Hetzner to Scaleway after Hetzner raised prices by more than other cloud providers.

Has run several projects for months on an OVH 4 CPU, 8GB VPS with no problems and previously had good experience with Hetzner.

Bought an IPv6-only netcup VPS two months ago and enjoyed the low price with Cloudflare proxying, until a service needing IPv4 whitelisting caught them out.

Hosts with both Linode and Hetzner. Finds Hetzner cloud locations often full, so adding new servers can take months, and notes Hetzner has begun raising prices.

Running multiple VPS instances for production web apps and AI agents with zero downtime and fast customer support responses.

A newer OVH VPS-2 plan gave absolutely awful, CPU-starved performance for a game server, unlike their earlier VPS-3.

Finds Hostinger great for most use cases unless bandwidth limits matter, with only good experience in North America.

Support would not respond during outages and afterwards said they saw no problems on their end.

They currently run a VPS with IONOS and have no complaints, though they describe their use case as simple.

Moved 26 low-traffic WordPress sites onto one large Contabo VPS with CloudPanel in 2024, using about 9GB of RAM with object caching, and notes disk can drag under load.

Going through last year they found they appear to have been double billed, which they link to shifting billing dates.

Newly assigned DDoS-protected IP came cluttered with dozens of old firewall rules and support ignored tickets and refund requests for 17 days.

Had two Linux VPSes restart unexpectedly during the outage and could no longer log in with their passwords.

Recycled DDoS-protected IPs retained old customer firewall rules without being reset, and mounting issues after the acquisition forced a move to OVH.

Had three servers down for over 48 hours with no information from Hostwinds and plans to move to a new host.

Later netcup VPSs had weaker, slower virtual CPUs than the US ones, though they would still choose netcup for a VPS.

Used Hostwinds for a few years without issues, but their server hosting a newly released app's backend has been down for 48 hours with customer service suddenly unavailable.

Production e-commerce down 72+ hours after maintenance and support sent a canned reply without reading logs.

Happy customer but cannot honestly say netcup support is OK.

Has multiple sites and databases on Hostwinds that went offline and came back repeatedly for 24 hours with a broken ticketing system; credentials were reset and needed a support email to regain access.

Runs RAM-heavy quiet services on a 12GB Contabo VPS, noting shared CPU on the cheap RAM-heavy plans is real.

Business account setup took a week and tax is still not set correctly.

Locked out of the Hostwinds client area for a second day while needing to work on a client's website.

Paid for a server and received no credentials or reply to two tickets.

Received an unpaid-bill email despite paying on time through PayPal, then lost client-area access with all websites down and only AI chat bots on live chat.

Many-year customer who found service rock solid until recently, then had their VPS terminated without warning followed by this outage, and will not renew.

Customer of eight years whose VPS hosting three business sites was accidentally deleted by Hostwinds and restored after a complaint; then the server went down again with the client area inaccessible and no timeframe.

Could not connect over FTP or update their sites during the outage, though their existing sites kept working, and says they have had no problems in several years with Hostwinds before this.

They run many client sites on an IONOS VPS with no complaints. On the rare occasions they needed support it was great.

KVM 8 renewed at 777 euros after paying 276 the previous year, and support offered only 20% off.

Runs everything on OVHcloud EU VPS instances; availability can be limited, but they are much cheaper than Hetzner for similar specs.

They run hobby projects on a 1 euro per month VPS and report zero problems so far.

Servers were rebooted at peak hours on five minutes' notice and many never came back online.

Bought an OVH VPS at a very good price, but the account was banned without explanation and support was terrible, leaving two days to move a web app elsewhere.

Reported a demonstrated networking issue and support asked for root credentials instead of investigating.

Contabo oversells and has constant performance issues; mail server lagging.

Linode has been spectacular; phone support answered immediately.

Has been on Vultr with good experiences, though without any robust performance comparisons.

Found it too technical and the interface somewhat impossible to use, and OVH was much simpler.

Their Hostinger KVM 8 was CPU-limited 13 times in 10 days with steal peaking at 69% whenever pushed hard.

Worked smoothly without a single issue and offers a clean, focused set of cloud services.

Expected to leave netcup within weeks but found it superb: clean IPs, easy rDNS and no uptime problems.

Years of great experience; one node corruption was handled with off-site backups and minimal downtime.

Says OVH is fine until you need support, which can take 48 hours to give useful information, and the website UX is awful.

VPS running almost five years with no complaints or noticed downtime.

Self-hosts with Docker and Dokploy on a Hetzner VPS and describes the setup as smooth.

Moved to OVH after unreliable service elsewhere: solid uptime and an easy GUI.

Runs four Next.js apps on Hetzner with Dokploy and after a year has had very few issues, all fixed quickly, though it needs more initial setup and some Linux knowledge.

After trying many providers settled on Hetzner for production; nothing comes close even after two price rises this year.

Runs a custom Next.js e-commerce store self-hosted with Docker and Coolify on a Hetzner VPS; calls it incredibly fast and easy, and the shop sees sales up 20 to 50 percent.

Runs Next.js, Postgres and Caddy on a single cheap Hetzner VPS with Docker Compose, and pages are fast because the database sits next to the app.
