Alternative to Contabo

ViaHost vs Contabo: where each one wins, honestly.

Contabo is known for lots of cheap RAM: it is hard to beat on price per raw spec. Its usual weak point is support and the control panel.

ViaHost costs more per spec, but includes a Proxmox panel with noVNC console and snapshots, DDoS protection by default, cPanel hosting and privacy domains, and support in Spanish. Here we compare both.
