Why people switch from Contabo

The most common reasons traders, agencies, and devs come to DigiRDP from the competition.

Contabo setup fees

Monthly Contabo billing adds a one-time setup fee of around $5-10. DigiRDP charges nothing on top of the listed monthly price.

CPU over-subscription complaints

Contabo VPS S/M tiers use shared vCPU. Public reviews regularly report sustained-load throttling. DigiRDP commits dedicated vCPU at every tier.

Slow support

Contabo support averages many hours per ticket, especially during peak EU hours. DigiRDP's 24/7 desk averages first response under 5 minutes.

No native crypto

Contabo accepts cards and PayPal but not crypto natively. DigiRDP auto-detects USDT TRC-20 in ~30 seconds.

Migrate in 6 Steps

Most workloads move with effectively zero downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Contabo cheaper at the listed price?
Contabo's headline price excludes the setup fee. Adding the $5-10 setup brings the effective month-one cost above DigiRDP. From month two onward, DigiRDP's dedicated vCPU + included migration help often justifies the small price gap.
Is the CPU over-subscription issue real?
Yes — it's widely reported on Reddit (r/webhosting, r/VPS), LowEndTalk, and Trustpilot. Contabo S/M tiers oversell CPU; sustained workloads see throttling.
Does DigiRDP have the same locations?
DigiRDP covers India, USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, Singapore, Hong Kong. Contabo covers Germany, US (St Louis + NYC), UK, India (Mumbai), Singapore, Japan, Australia. Most major regions overlap.
Can I migrate without downtime?
For most workloads yes — bring up the new VPS, copy data over, switch DNS. Total downtime can be near zero with proper TTL planning. Free migration help available on 4 GB+ plans.
Why is the money-back window shorter on DigiRDP?
24 hours is meant for "this doesn't work for me" cancellations, not extended trials. Contabo's 30-day window is more generous on paper but practical refund processing tends to be slow per public reviews.
Does DigiRDP have dedicated server plans like Contabo?
Yes — see /dedicated-plan. Bare-metal Xeon and AMD EPYC servers with full IPMI access, comparable specs, no setup fees.
Can I pay in EUR?
Yes — DigiRDP supports USD, EUR, INR, plus crypto. Currency selector at the top of every product page.
Is there a Linux discount like on Contabo?
Linux plans are 20-30% cheaper than Windows on DigiRDP because there's no Windows licence cost. Same hardware, same SLA.
Does Contabo migration tooling exist?
No automated tool — but our migration team (4 GB+ plans) can do the move manually within 24-48 hours for typical workloads.
What about IPv6?
Both providers include IPv6. DigiRDP includes /64 subnet free; Contabo similar.
