Contabo has recently rolled out a major upgrade to its VPS product line and official website. The new VPS plans start at just $5/month and come with significantly improved specifications: 8GB RAM, 3 AMD EPYC CPU cores, and either 75GB NVMe SSD or 150GB SSD storage (user selectable). Each plan includes an impressive 32TB monthly traffic allowance and allows users to choose from 9 global regions, including Japan, Singapore, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia—making it ideal for users who prioritize both cost efficiency and global coverage.
The upgraded VPS lineup is built on KVM virtualization and uses AMD EPYC 7002/7003 series processors. Storage is based on high-speed NVMe SSD, while selecting standard SSD doubles the available capacity. Each VPS includes one IPv4 address and is designed for high-bandwidth workloads and international deployment scenarios.
