Contabo — 7.0/10

Contabo is a 20-year-old German VPS host with 9 data centres, 99.99% uptime SLA and best-in-class price-to-performance — €4.50 / month entry, NVMe storage, AMD CPUs, pre-built Bitcoin / Ethereum node images. The privacy story is honest: default signup does NOT require identity verification, but conditional KYC is triggered by fraud signals (flagged card, suspicious IP, anomalous behaviour) and arrives by email requesting passport / driver's licence / national ID (front + back) plus a utility bill. No crypto payment rail. Best for clean payment + clean IP; pair with a residential or business IP at signup if running a privacy-aware workload.

Privacy score: 7.0/10 · KYC tier: L3 — Tiered · Categories: Hosting
