Which should you pick?
Choose Time4VPS if this fits: best budget vps for european latency. Time4VPS is Lithuania's answer to the budget VPS question: honest cheap servers with big bandwidth from a single Vilnius data center. Great value if your users are in Europe.
Choose Contabo if this fits: best rock-bottom vps specs per dollar. Contabo sells more RAM, cores and disk per dollar than anyone, and you feel the corners that were cut in support response times and peak-hour performance. Superb for hobby projects, risky for production.
Overall, our scores favor Time4VPS (7.7 vs 7.4) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full Time4VPS review and Contabo review.
