Dedicated hardware is unbeatable for the price, but one server kept losing network and support could not fix it.

A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

Best price to performance for cheap Asia VPS but slow support and several planned and unplanned maintenance windows.
Server unresponsive for a day and the support phone line went unanswered, though service returned after a few hours.
Across 300 VPS they see slow support, an unresponsive management app and noticeable overload on CPU-heavy tasks, but low prices.

What does the signal score of 67 mean?
It's how well reviewed Contabo is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a service needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed services here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
