Contabo Servers and Dashboard Down

7 points·XCSme··4 comments

Many servers hosted on Contabo.com seem down, even their user dashboard is down: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/my.contabo.com.html

But their status page, as all status pages, is showing everything is ok: https://contabo-status.com/

I don't think I've seen any status page from big companies in the last years that actually shows when there's an outage (probably marketing/PR/branding issues).

Some people complaining on Twitter too: https://twitter.com/ContaboCom/status/1712062706784543080

It looks like ALL their VPS are down. A bit strange that their user panel is down too, maybe it's hosted on their own VPS infrastructure.

I understand downtime happens, but communication so far is terrible with Contabo. There have been outages before and they were never registered in their status page.

EDIT: Seems like they added it on https://contabo-status.com

So, the next update is in 3 hours. That's a long downtime window.

By the way in which the VPSs starting going down one by one, I hope it's not a fire...

The user panel is probably down because it's overloaded as everyone tries to check what's going on with their VPS. Between many 503s it loaded for me a few times. So indeed refreshing https://contabo-status.com/ is what we can do for now.

My VPS seems to be accessible again.
