Anyways, great review.

What I would try, if I were you, is write to Contabo and tell them your fantastic package deal with Hetzner (enclose a copy of it if you can) and whether they could better on the Hetzner deal?  Just see what comes up and whether they are a genuine discount operator as they claim to be.

And, Europe location only? $6/month for a year, it's so cheap!

Quote:Provided that in the following or preceding section the customer has selected a Microsoft software product (e.g. Windows Server, SQL Server etc.) for installation on his server, he must comply with the current provisions of the "Microsoft Service Provider Use Rights" (SPUR) and the "End User License Terms" (EULT) which apply within the context of the Microsoft "Service Provider License Agreement" to Contabo (hereinafter referred to as provider) if the customer is able to influence the use of the software or could infringe the provisions through use of the software. These provisions may be viewed at the following addresses at any time:

https://contabo.com/spla/EULT.pdf

The customer thus agrees to comply with the corresponding provisions and is responsible for observing them correctly.
These provisions may result in only having restricted or even not having the possibility to use otherwise purchased licenses of the customer with the servers of the provider. The provider will supply a license for all customer orders of Microsoft software products considering the Microsoft Service Provider License Agreement. This license allows the monthly use of the Microsoft software product on the server and limits its utilization permission with regard to some aspects. The customer particularly must not use Microsoft products which require additional or other licenses according to SPUR or EULT. The customer is obligated to comply with all these provisions on his own and is liable for violations against this usage policy to the provider and Microsoft.

Quote:Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you very much for your message and your interest in our products.

Although we wish we could do some price adjustments for you,we are unfortunately unable to do so. The pricing for our services as advertised cannot be changed in this regard.

As you are aware, sooner or later, IPv4 addresses will become increasingly rare. Therefore, we already include an entire IPv6 Subnet with ur servers.

We regret for being unable to assist you with a different offer.

If you have any questions or need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
