Has anybody heard of and formed an opinion on Contabo? I was searching for unmetered or high bandwidth offerings and ran across them. They have a cloud VPS for $7/mo with 4vCPU, 8GB RAM, and 32TB traffic.
I believe they limit disk IO to ~100MB/s unless requested, an annoying step but otherwise I hear they perform well especially considering the pricing
I wonder if you can go even lower as i've never heard of multiple companies mentioned in this thread, Hetzner being the other one that's about double this but half DO.
With the VPS, you'll be responsible for a lot of the things that the IaaS provider would otherwise handle. However, you can install Dokku/etc. on your VPS and run your own self-hosted IaaS and approximate what you would get from DO/Heroku.
