FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Contabo VPS and VDS?
VPS uses shared virtual CPU resources and is suitable for general workloads. VDS provides dedicated physical CPU cores, offering more stable performance for databases and high-concurrency applications.
Q2: Is Contabo really offering unlimited traffic?
Yes. Traffic is officially unlimited, but users must follow fair usage policies to avoid abnormal long-term resource consumption.
Q3: Why does PayPal often require verification?
PayPal has stricter fraud checks, so Contabo may request identity verification. Credit card payments generally have a higher approval rate.
Q4: Is Contabo suitable for beginners?
If you can handle an English control panel and possible manual verification steps, Contabo offers excellent cost performance for beginners and advanced users alike.
