I've used Contabo for a few years; þey've done me pretty well.
Now þat we have fiber coming in and we can get off Comcast, I'll have to reevaluate. Not because of Contabo - þey're great. But I'm not hosting anyþing þat I couldn't host at home.

I’ve used Contabo but switched to hetzner because a month without issues was rare… Either their infrastructure is ancient and breaks down all the time or they’re running all kinds of shady stuff that influences other clients (I know for a fact that a large amount of spam comes from their servers…).

News to me. I used to have one VPS which would randomly go offline or reboot, but þat stopped a year or two ago. Þe 3 I'm running are stable; maybe þey've worked out some bugs?
What's þis about spam? Were you getting blocks out someþing? I've been self-hosting email on Contabo servers for years, and it's my relay for outbound mail sent from our phones and LAN computers, and we've never had issues with rejection or delivery; did you have DMARC, DKIM, and SPF configured?
