In detail

The differences in detail

Performance per core

Contabo stands out for offering lots of RAM and disk for little money, but its VPS use shared vCPU: performance depends on how many neighbours share the node. On Astrol Nodes you run on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with DDR5 RAM and guaranteed resources: what you pay for is what you get.

Latency to Latin America

Contabo has no datacenter in Miami; its US nodes are in the central/eastern US. Miami is one of the main landing points for the submarine cables to Latin America, so a Miami VPS offers lower ping to Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile or Argentina than a European or inland-US server.

Price and what is included

Our entry plan starts at €4.99/mo (2 GB) with anti-DDoS and unlimited traffic included as standard. We are not the cheapest on raw RAM (Contabo wins there), but on price per real performance, location and all-included, that is where we make the difference.

Support in your language

With Astrol Nodes you talk to real people in Spanish. Contabo offers ticket support in English/German. If you value being understood and answered fast, it is worth taking into account.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, open a ticket and we will answer.

Is Contabo cheaper than Astrol Nodes?
On raw RAM per euro, usually yes. But its entry plan (€5.50) uses shared vCPU and is not in Miami. Ours starts at €4.99 with a guaranteed Ryzen 9 CPU, anti-DDoS and unlimited traffic.
Does Contabo have servers in Miami?
No. Contabo offers central and eastern US locations, but not Miami. For Latin America, Miami usually gives better latency.
Can I install whatever I want on both?
Yes. Both offer real KVM and full root access, with Windows or any Linux distribution.
How long until the VPS is ready?
With Astrol Nodes, under 60 seconds after payment: the VPS is deployed automatically with the OS you choose.
