Also with Contabo their sign up process is tedious. They want your ID and are quite finicky with personal details. When I signed up 2 years ago, they let me do the purchase and only after I paid let me know I had to provide ID and proof of address before they will give me the VPS. I was not impressed.
Well, second month being free is quite cool, it may be "only" but still you get a whole month's budget off instead of like 10% discount every month and then you land up pretty much at the same price.
Thing is Contabo VPSes are really cool, I've a friend who has loooots of VPSes bought from them, and he's given me one too. It's a solid machine and even with the network port speed capped, it's performance is remarkable. And moreever, you cannot match that price anywhere, it's damn cheap. Also, I don't believe ID and proof of address are that big an issue when you're sharing it with a trusted provider.
