Hostinger vs Contabo

Hostinger and Contabo are both direct VPS choices, but their current products emphasize different things. Hostinger packages KVM servers around AMD EPYC, NVMe, backups and API tooling; Contabo pushes harder on large RAM and storage allocations, with separate Core and Performance VPS families.

A compact, developer-friendly VPS package

Hostinger’s current VPS plans use KVM virtualization with AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage. Weekly backups, a public API, firewall management and a web terminal are included across the lineup, which makes routine server operations more approachable without turning the product into managed hosting.

Resource density may be lower than Contabo’s focus

Contabo’s catalog is built around comparatively large memory and disk configurations, especially for buyers who want one substantial server. If the decision is mostly “how much RAM and storage do I get in this VPS shape,” Contabo deserves a direct spec-by-spec comparison.

Core and Performance VPS options for heavier servers

Contabo separates lower-cost Core VPS plans from Performance VPS plans using AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage. Full root access keeps the environment general purpose, so the server can be shaped around databases, containers or multi-service workloads.

The experience is more infrastructure-first

Hostinger includes more onboarding-oriented tooling around its VPS product, while Contabo’s value proposition is centered on the server resources themselves. Neither removes sysadmin responsibility in the way a managed application platform would.
