Bottom Line
Max Ostryzhko Senior Web Developer, HostAdvice CTO Contabo began back in 2003 under the name of Giga-International. They started off as a small hosting company, but have really grown to be one of the larger and more respected hosting companies in Germany and all of Europe. They expanded in 2009 with a new data center in Munich and again in 2014 they launched a second data center, this time in Nuremberg. The company started out and continues to operate with the goal of always putting customers first. They would rather have thousands of happy customers that stay with them for years than constantly be cycling through customers who come and go on a regular basis. Overall this company is quite good and offers a variety of very attractive hosting options. Winner! See plans and pricing contabo.com
