When you look at their prices, your first thought is: &ldquo;What&rsquo;s the catch?&rdquo; Because 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, and 50 GB NVMe for €5.50/month is a price that barely exists in the VPS market. Let&rsquo;s dig into the secret and whether it&rsquo;s worth it.</p> <h2 id="cloud-vps-pricing-grid">Cloud VPS Pricing Grid</h2> <p>As of July 2026, the Cloud VPS lineup looks like this:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Plan</th> <th>vCPU</th> <th>RAM</th> <th>Disk</th> <th>Price/mo</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Cloud VPS S</td> <td>4</td> <td>8 GB</td> <td>75 GB NVMe / 150 GB SSD</td> <td>€5.50</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cloud VPS M</td> <td>6</td> <td>12 GB</td> <td>100 GB NVMe / 200 GB SSD</td> <td>€7.50</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cloud VPS L</td> <td>8</td> <td>24 GB</td> <td>200 GB NVMe / 400 GB SSD</td> <td>€14.00</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cloud VPS XL</td> <td>12</td> <td>48 GB</td> <td>250 GB NVMe / 500 GB SSD</td> <td>€25.00</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cloud VPS XXL</td> <td>16</td> <td>64 GB</td> <td>300 GB NVMe / 600 GB SSD</td> <td>€37.00</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>On top of that, there are Cloud VDS (virtual dedicated servers) — starting at €27.50/month with 6 vCPU and 24 GB RAM, but with guaranteed CPU resources (unlike regular VPS, where cores are shared). And full bare-metal servers from €99/month.</p> https://servdigest.com/en/comparisons/time4vps-vs-contabo/ Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://servdigest.com/en/comparisons/time4vps-vs-contabo/ <h2 id="time4vps-vs-contabo-two-approaches-to-vps">Time4VPS vs Contabo: Two Approaches to VPS</h2> <p>When choosing a VPS in Europe, two names quickly appear on the radar: <strong>Time4VPS</strong> (Lithuania) and <strong>Contabo</strong> (Germany). Both have been around a while and built up a customer base. But they suit, essentially, different tasks. Let&rsquo;s break it down without fluff.</p> <h3 id="plan-comparison-what-you-get-for-your-money">Plan Comparison: What You Get for Your Money</h3> <p>Both providers are known for low prices. But the structure differs.</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Parameter</th> <th>Time4VPS (€2.99/mo)</th> <th>Contabo Cloud VPS S (€5.50/mo)</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>vCPU</td> <td>1</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>RAM</td> <td>1 GB</td> <td>8 GB</td> </tr> <tr> <td>NVMe/SSD</td> <td>20 GB</td> <td>50 GB</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Traffic</td> <td>1 TB</td> <td>32 TB</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Port</td> <td>1 Gbps</td> <td>1 Gbps (burst to 4 Gbps)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Yes, Contabo asks for nearly double. But the hardware gap is colossal: 4 cores against one and 8 GB of memory against 1 GB. Time4VPS wins if you need a truly minimal server — say, for a personal site, VPN, or test environment.</p>
