Before you sign up
Credit card required: Both providers require a valid credit card for signup. Prepaid cards may not work.
Email verification: You'll need to verify your email address. Check your spam folder if you don't see the verification email.
Some providers (especially Contabo) may require additional identity verification for new accounts. This usually takes a few minutes but can occasionally take up to 24 hours.
Recommended providers
No affiliate deals, just honest recommendations
I'm Jeffrey Emanuel, and I have zero financial relationship with Contabo, OVH, or any cloud provider. No affiliate links, no kickbacks, no sponsored content. I recommend these because I use them myself. They offer beefy machines (48GB+ RAM) at a fraction of what AWS, GCP, or Azure charge. On those big providers, equivalent specs would cost 3-5× more.
