Yes I have and it's good, but I don't think anecdotal evidence matters. I may have been lucky or you might be unlucky.
Personally I always buy multiple refurbished drives and put them in a raid in such a way that they can fail without fucking me over. For a minimal setup, mirror and throw big fat errors with sound when one is down or has smart errors or bad blocks.
You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.
Lets normalize the price for comparison.
6/3 = 2
So for the same normalized price you get:
4/3 = 1.333 cores
6/3 = 2GB RAM
200/3 = 66GB SSD storage
Thats a bit more CPU, four times the RAM and six times the storage!!!
I highly doubt that the "near bare metal" performance of that one core is better than just having 30% more virtualized cores.
And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.
The only good tradeoff for this offer is the unlimited traffic IF and only if you actually would hit the comtabo limits (32TB outbound + unlimited incoming) and there is probably some math where you can calculate when it starts to be worth the money vs. getting a second contabo vps.
I like clicking buttons that have a text on them saying what they do instead of trying to memorize a gajillion terminal commands and flags where I have to enter more commands and flags to see what they do.
My 8GB soquartz CM4 has a broken memory chip and I can't return it, so I am contemplating whether I should throw it in the oven and hope for the best or whether somebody wants to buy a half broken one unbaked ...
