Contabo gives you more RAM per euro, but with shared CPU and no Miami datacenter. Astrol Nodes gives you a VPS in Miami on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with guaranteed resources, anti-DDoS and unlimited traffic included, plus Spanish support, from €4.99/mo. If you value real performance and low latency to Latin America, Astrol; if you only want maximum GB at the lowest price, Contabo.

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, always.
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.
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.
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 counts.
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.
No. Contabo offers central and eastern US locations, but not Miami. For Latin America, Miami usually gives better latency.
Yes. Both offer real KVM and full root access, with Windows or any Linux distribution.
With Astrol Nodes, under 60 seconds after payment: the VPS is deployed automatically with the OS you choose.
