Why Users Leave Contabo After Purchase

Many users start on Contabo for the sticker price, then run into headaches with bandwidth rules that slow heavy outbound use, paid backup add-ons, and fewer payment routes if cards fail or crypto is preferred.
Cloudzy is the Contabo alternative built for predictable day-to-day use, with NVMe, DDR5, up to 40 Gbps links, 16+ locations, hourly PAYG, and 24/7/365 support. Pay by card, PayPal, Alipay, Skrill, Perfect Money, or crypto, and keep a safety net with daily backups (30-day retention) plus refund windows.

Cloudzy vs Contabo: Better at a Lower Rate!

Contabo’s traffic policy allows throttling VPS port speed to 100 Mbit/s after a 10-day outbound average above 100 Mbit/s, and Auto Backup is a paid add-on. Cloudzy lists up to 40 Gbps links, includes daily backups with 30-day retention, and offers hourly PAYG so you can test without a long commitment. Cloudzy also supports crypto plus PayPal and Alipay, and publishes a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Why Choose Cloudzy Instead of Contabo

Unlock the Power of Flexibility and Performance

More network headroom

Cloudzy plans list up to 40 Gbps. Contabo’s traffic rules can throttle VPS port speed to 100 Mbit/s after a 10-day average above 100 Mbit/s. That matters for backups and media.

blur

Backups included

Cloudzy advertises daily automated backups with 30-day retention. Contabo sells Auto Backup as a paid add-on, with monthly pricing that varies by plan. Good for simple rollback without extras.

blur

More ways to pay

Cloudzy supports cards, PayPal, Alipay, Skrill, Perfect Money, and crypto. Contabo lists cards, PayPal, Skrill, and bank transfer, but no Bitcoin. Handy if payments fail abroad.

blur

Refund clarity

Cloudzy offers a 7-day money-back window, plus unused-credit refunds through day 14. Contabo refunds can depend on contract timing and can include extra conditions or fees. That helps for quick trials.

blur

Hourly PAYG billing

Run a small box for a weekend, then delete it. For light workloads, Cloudzy can be cheaper than Contabo, without locking you into bigger monthly tiers for testing and demos.

How to Move from Contabo to Cloudzy
PICK YOUR PLAN
1. Audit your current Contabo VPS

List apps, ports, users, cron jobs, and storage. Note CPU, RAM, and traffic patterns so you pick the right size.

 
2. Choose your Cloudzy plan and location

If you want a Contabo alternative, match usage first, then add a small buffer for growth and updates.

 
3. Create the new server, then harden it

Add SSH keys, update packages, set firewall rules, and install runtimes, panels, or Docker the same way.

 
4. Move data with rsync, SFTP, or database dumps

Restore, then test logins, background jobs, and site speed in a staging window before cutover.

 
5. Lower DNS TTL, switch records, and watch logs

Keep the Contabo instance for a short overlap, then cancel once traffic and metrics look stable.

 
6. Need a hand during migration?

Contact Cloudzy’s 24/7/365 support with your plan, region, and error details, and we’ll help you troubleshoot safely.
