Answers to help you choose hosting and domains: plans, billing, backups, migration, server locations and domain transfers.
Choose by concurrent work and measured resource needs. Cloudways positions Scout for light testing, Operator for regular workloads and Squad for more simultaneous tasks. Its current public-preview guidance says resizing is unavailable, so verify that restriction before launch.

Read full answerVultr Bare Metal gives one customer a physical server with direct hardware access. Consider it when hardware control, isolation or sustained resource demand justifies a whole machine. A lightly used website may not benefit enough to justify that commitment.
Start with the model, software stack, context length and expected concurrency. Then check GPU memory and measured latency. NVIDIA B200 and AMD MI325X configurations are not interchangeable just because both carry a GPU label.
Compare shared versus dedicated CPU allocation, not just the listed core count. Contabo Cloud VPS uses shared vCPUs; the Cloud VDS family targets dedicated resources. Start with a suitable configuration and upgrade when workload measurements justify it.

Read full answerWindows Server is available as an add-on for Contabo VPS and VDS, using a Contabo-provided license. Its documentation does not permit bringing your own Windows license to these virtual servers. Include licensing in the full cost comparison.
