You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.

Lets normalize the price for comparison.

6/3 = 2

So for the same normalized price you get:

  • 4/3 = 1.333 cores
  • 6/3 = 2GB RAM
  • 200/3 = 66GB SSD storage

Thats a bit more CPU, four times the RAM and six times the storage!!!

I highly doubt that the "near bare metal" performance of that one core is better than just having 30% more virtualized cores.

And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.

The only good tradeoff for this offer is the unlimited traffic IF and only if you actually would hit the comtabo limits (32TB outbound + unlimited incoming) and there is probably some math where you can calculate when it starts to be worth the money vs. getting a second contabo vps.

Thats expensive

With a very nieche benefit. I doubt that one core can chug enough to make any significant bandwith

You proved it by not posting anything for 23 hours.

Without a free tier, they can't collect more data

This is exactly what happened. I swear.

Ah yes, if you don't want your data to be harvested, go to the company that harvestst it equally but shares it with more shady entities. Ingenius.

Use le chat

It falls under european data protection laws (contrary to the dystopian laws of china or usa) and has a paid tier where your data is not used for training.
