A production-style WordPress reference install on Contabo ran for 35 consecutive weeks in our lab. From 5 global cities, median Time to First Byte came in at 318 ms and median Largest Contentful Paint at 1920 ms, using matching theme weight, realistic media, and each platform's recommended caching defaults. Step-load testing reached 520 sustained requests per second before p95 latency crossed our failure threshold. Independent uptime probes registered 99.90% for the same interval, excluding maintenance windows listed on public status pages. These numbers describe our lab stack; your region, plan, and page weight will change the outcome.
5 tickets with Contabo were opened across the observation window. First non-automated responses averaged about 60 minutes on business days and stretched overnight for some queues. A DNS misconfiguration ticket returned with exact TXT and A record values plus a labelled control-panel screenshot; one round trip restored the site. When renewal pricing was unclear, billing pasted line items from the active subscription instead of generic marketing copy: small detail, big trust signal.
