Nosso veredito

Nossa escolha
Hetzner
Choose Hetzner when you want a cleaner reputation curve, better community trust for production APIs, and EU DC clarity. Low EU hosting costs, below big-cloud prices for similar specs. On the trade-off side, not for teams that will not use SSH. Cloud VPS, not managed WordPress.

Contabo
Choose Contabo only when the spreadsheet wins and you profile disk and CPU yourself before calling anything “production”. High RAM per euro for memory-heavy staging setups. On the trade-off side, basic, slow ticket support.

Can either host email?+
You can, but we usually pair VPS with transactional SMTP and mailbox providers instead of running full mail stacks on discount VPS without expertise.
