Which OnetSolutions VPS replaces your Contabo VPS?

Start from your real workload rather than the displayed RAM: most Contabo servers migrated to us were using a fraction of their memory.

Why choose an OnetSolutions VPS server

Recent hardware, a fast network and your data protected.

Intel Xeon processors

The General Purpose range runs on Intel Xeon processors with DDR4 memory, on NVMe or SSD storage. Need more? The Performance and High Performance ranges move to AMD EPYC.

Up to 300 Mbps

150 to 300 Mbps depending on the plan, and unlimited traffic. The Performance and High Performance ranges go up to 1 Gbps.

OnetSolutions API

Create, start and monitor your servers through the API, from your scripts, your CI or your AI assistants. Read the documentation

Backups and snapshots

Daily backups stored in datacenters over 100 km away, optional from €0.99 excl. VAT/month, and a first snapshot included to roll back.

The verdict in 30 seconds

On resources per euro, Contabo is unbeatable and this page does not pretend otherwise: the Cloud VPS 4 offers 4 vCPU, 8 GB and 100 GB SSD for a displayed €5.50/month — versus €12.79/month excl. VAT yearly for our GP-8 with comparable resources. The Contabo rate assumes a 24-month commitment though; monthly, it is higher.

What Contabo does not provide in that price: datacenters in France (Europe means Germany), French-language support. At OnetSolutions both are included, and you leave whenever you want. Automated backups and the Windows licence are add-ons with both providers.

In practice: large RAM and disk needs on a tight budget, technical self-sufficiency, location irrelevant — Contabo. Professional server where availability, location and support matter more than the gigabyte count — OnetSolutions.

Why Contabo customers move to OnetSolutions

The reasons that come up in the migration requests we handle, without embellishment.

  • Data in France

    At Contabo, "Europe" means Germany. At OnetSolutions, your data stays in France, with a French company — a decisive point for many professional customers and their own clients.

  • French-speaking technicians, 24/7

    Contabo support goes through a helpdesk with no French. Here, 24/7 French-speaking support is provided by technicians with access to your infrastructure.

  • Daily off-site backups

    At Contabo as with us, automated backup is an add-on. Ours is daily and stored off-site: €0.99 excl. VAT/month on GP-2, €1.99 on GP-4, €2.99 on GP-8 and €4.99 on GP-16 and GP-32.

  • No commitment

    The Contabo rate assumes 24 months. At OnetSolutions you pay monthly and leave when you want; yearly is a choice, not a condition.

  • Windows Server at a displayed price

    The Windows Server 2025 licence is an option at a fixed price depending on size: €5.80 excl. VAT/month on GP-4, €9.20 on GP-8, €17.60 on GP-16 and €33.60 on GP-32.

  • Guaranteed rather than displayed resources

    A RAM figure says nothing about the host's real load. Our plans are sized to be sustained, with 99.9% availability and a console showing in real time what you consume.

When Contabo remains the better choice

An honest comparison also says when to stay. In these situations, we advise you not to migrate.

  • You need lots of RAM and disk for cheap

    Hungry game server, big cache, large test environment: Contabo's GB-per-euro ratio has no equivalent with us. If RAM is your main constraint, stay.

  • The 24-month commitment does not bother you

    If your project is stable and paying two years upfront is not a problem, the Contabo rate is hard to beat.

  • Location does not matter to you

    Your data can sit in Germany, the USA or Singapore without constraint? The France argument does not weigh on your decision.

  • You are comfortable fully self-serve

    If you never open a ticket and manage your own backups, included support and the backup option bring you nothing.

Contact support
Is OnetSolutions cheaper than Contabo for a VPS?

No, not at equal resources: Contabo's Cloud VPS 4 (4 vCPU, 8 GB, 100 GB SSD) is displayed at €5.50/month over 24 months, versus €12.79/month excl. VAT yearly for our GP-8. Our price, however, includes 24/7 French-speaking support, data in France and no commitment; daily backups and the Windows licence are options. Compare total cost for your real workload, not the RAM figure.

Do I really need as much RAM as my Contabo VPS?

Often not. A WordPress site, a business application or a VPN fit comfortably in 4 GB; check your server's real usage (free -m, htop) before sizing. Our console shows usage in real time and resizing takes a few clicks with no reinstall.

Does Contabo host data in France?

No. Contabo's "Europe" region is in Germany; the other locations are the UK, the USA, Singapore, Japan, India and Australia. OnetSolutions hosts exclusively in France, in an ISO 27001-certified datacenters.

How do I migrate my Contabo VPS to OnetSolutions?

Order a VPS sized for your real workload: it is delivered in 10 seconds. Then transfer your files and databases over rsync or SSH, test on the new IP, then switch DNS and cancel Contabo when the term ends. Our support assists you at every step.

Will the migration take my site or application down?

No, if you proceed in order: your Contabo VPS keeps responding while you copy and validate everything on the new VPS. The only visible transition is the DNS change, almost instant if you lower the TTL in advance.

Is support really in French?

Yes: 24/7 French-speaking support. Your requests are handled by French-speaking technicians who have access to your infrastructure. The Contabo helpdesk offers no French-language support.

Is Windows Server available?

Yes, as an option from GP-4: €5.80 excl. VAT/month on GP-4, €9.20 on GP-8, €17.60 on GP-16 and €33.60 on GP-32. At Contabo, the Windows licence is also a paid add-on.

Are backups included?

No, they are an option: daily backups stored in a remote datacenter, €0.99 excl. VAT/month on GP-2, €1.99 on GP-4, €2.99 on GP-8 and €4.99 on GP-16 and GP-32. One-click snapshots are included. At Contabo, automated backup is also a paid add-on.

Ready to bring your data back to France?

Order monthly with no commitment, migrate at your pace with our teams, and keep your Contabo VPS until everything is validated.
