Contabo alternative

A Contabo alternative with more server for less.

Contabo built its name on price — but look closely at the dedicated line: the 12-core/64 GB Ryzen lists around $161/mo, setup is only waived if you prepay a year, and bandwidth is fair-use. Dedizone's 16-core/128 GB DZ-R9 costs $115/mo — four more cores and double the RAM — with $0 setup on every term, unmetered bandwidth, and the box online in under a minute.
