コンタボ vs ヘッツナー (2026): 価格引き上げ後にドイツの低予算 VPS が勝つのはどれか? - JA

How We Compared Contabo and Hetzner

Two German hosts, one billing currency, and a price list that moved four times this year. So we pinned every figure to a date. Prices come from contabo.com and Hetzner's own price-adjustment notice, checked on July 9, 2026, エントリー率あり, 請求期間, and post-June pricing logged apart. Both firms bill in euros, so the US-dollar figures here are approximate conversions that drift with the exchange rate.

We weighted this toward how the two are actually bought: resources per euro (羊, vCPU, NVMe), CPU consistency under load, network and traffic terms, データセンターの近接性, および返金ポリシー. Sources were the vendors' own pricing pages, published specs, and review aggregators that show how many ratings back a score, ignoring anything under 4.0 across fewer than 50 レビュー. Two honest limits worth stating. We didn't run synthetic load tests on either host. And Hetzner's June 15 increase applies to new orders, so a pre-June server keeps its old rate. If you're new to the category, our primer on マネージド VPS とアンマネージド VPS covers who patches the box on each model. Both of these are the unmanaged kind.

What Hetzner's June 2026 Price Hike Actually Did

This is the piece most "コンタボ vs ヘッツナー" pages haven't caught up with yet. 6月に 15, 2026, Hetzner repriced its cloud lineup, and the increase was lopsided. The shared Intel line (CX23) rose from EUR 3.99 ユーロです 5.49, 上 38%. The ARM line (CAX11) went EUR 4.49 ユーロです 5.99, 上 33%. Manageable. The dedicated-vCPU line is where it hurt: the CCX13 jumped 169% ユーロです 42.99, and the CCX23 climbed 173% ユーロです 85.99.

もう一度読んでください, because it inverts the old advice. Hetzner's dedicated cores were the reason performance-minded buyers paid the small premium over Contabo. After June 15, that premium isn't small. Existing servers keep their old price, so this bites new orders only. If you're spinning up fresh infrastructure this year, the comparison below runs on the new numbers, not the ones cached in two-year-old reviews.

Contabo – Best for Maximum RAM and Storage per Euro

エントリ: クラウドVPS 10 at EUR 5.50/mo (約米ドル 5.95). 8 GB RAM, 4 共有vCPU, 75 GB NVMe. 99.9% 稼働時間SLA. 14-日帰り.

Line the two up at the entry tier and the gap is almost comical. For EUR 5.50 月, Contabo のクラウド VPS 10 あなたに手渡します 8 GBのRAM, 4 shared vCPU cores, と 75 GBのNVMe (fast flash) 保管所. Hetzner's closest-priced plan, the CX23 at EUR 5.49, あなたに与えます 4 GBと 2 cores on 40 GB. Same money, 記憶力が2倍になる, double the cores, nearly double the disk. Prefer capacity over speed? Swap the 75 GB NVMe 用 150 GB of SSD at signup, 同じ価格.

Push up the range and Contabo holds the lead. クラウドVPS 30 runs EUR 14 為に 24 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, と 200 GB NVMe. But here's the number that rewrites the old script. Contabo's entry dedicated-core plan, the Cloud VDS S, costs EUR 34.40 為に 3 physical AMD cores, 24 GB RAM, と 180 GB NVMe. Hetzner's cheapest dedicated-vCPU plan after June 15, the CCX13, is EUR 42.99 為に 8 GBと 2 コア. Contabo comes in ユーロ 8.59 安い and ships three times the RAM. A year ago that comparison went the other way.

What you trade for those specs is consistency. The cheap cores are shared, and Contabo's shared vCPU draws real complaints. User reports put CPU steal (time your server waits for a physical core a neighbor is hogging) で 20-40% during peak hours on busy boxes. サポートはチケットのみです, ライブチャットはありません, and reviews flag slow replies, hours on routine tickets and occasionally days on hard ones. The uptime promise is 99.9%, and independent monitoring lands right around there, 近く 99.91%. None of that dents a staging box or an overnight batch job. It dents a checkout page.

長所:

• だいたい 2x the RAM and cores per euro versus Hetzner at entry
• NVMe or up to 150 GB SSD 含まれています, あなたの選択, no upcharge
• 定額料金設定: the sign-up rate is the renewal rate
• のデータセンター 東京, シドニー, ムンバイ that Hetzner lacks

短所:

• 共有vCPU; 20-40% CPUスティール reported at peak
• Ticket-only support with a slow-response reputation
• エントリポートの上限は次のとおりです 200 Mbit / s

価格設定: クラウドVPS 10 ユーロで 5.50, VPS 20 ユーロで 7.50 (12 GB), VPS 30 ユーロで 14 (24 GB), VPS 40 ユーロで 25 (48 GB). Dedicated cores begin at the VDS S, ユーロ 34.40. Object storage from EUR 2.49 為に 250 GB. No setup fee on 12-month terms, and Contabo does not raise the price at renewal.

こんな方に最適: self-hosters who want big memory and disk cheap and can run their own Linux box. 次の場合はスキップします: your workload is latency-sensitive and can't absorb CPU steal, or you need a data center Contabo doesn't operate.

評決: Contabo wins when the spec sheet is the whole point and you own the sysadmin work. If your traffic is latency-critical or you want per-second cloud primitives, that's a Hetzner job, and no amount of cheap RAM changes it.

Hetzner – Best for Consistent Performance and Cloud Tooling

エントリ: CX23 at EUR 5.49/mo (約米ドル 5.93). 4 GB RAM, 2 インテルvCPU, 40 GB SSD, 20 TB EU traffic. ARM and dedicated-vCPU lines. 時間単位の請求.

悪いニュースから始めましょう, since it reshapes everything else. 6月に 15, 2026, Hetzner's dedicated-vCPU line stopped being a bargain. The CCX13 went EUR 15.99 ユーロです 42.99, the CCX23 EUR 31.49 ユーロです 85.99. The shared lines rose more gently, but the plans people came to Hetzner for, guaranteed cores at low prices, took the full hit. If dedicated cores are your reason to switch, Contabo's VDS S now undercuts the CCX13 by EUR 8.59 with triple the RAM.

So why still pick it? Because within a tier, Hetzner behaves. Its shared vCPU shows far less steal than Contabo's, and the network is faster and more even. The platform underneath is a real cloud, not a plain server rental. You get an API, テラフォームのサポート, managed load balancers, プライベートネットワーク, ファイアウォール, floating IPs, and free snapshots. Hourly billing means you can spin a server up for an afternoon and delete it when you're done. Contabo has none of that cloud-native layer. If your mental model is closer to a small AWS than a cheap box, browse the wider field of cloud hosting platforms and you'll see where Hetzner sits.

The value pick in Hetzner's 2026 catalog is ARM. The CAX11 gives 4 GBと 2 Ampere ARM cores for EUR 5.99, and if your stack runs on ARM (most modern Linux software does), it runs cooler and often faster than the Intel CX23 at nearly the same price. Contabo offers no ARM at all. One number to watch, けれど. Hetzner's headline 20 TB of included traffic only applies in Europe. US servers include 1 TB and Singapore just 0.5 TB, with overage at EUR 1/TB in the US and a steep EUR 7.40/TB in Singapore. Contabo's traffic is unlimited (fair-use throttled). For a busy site outside the EU, that one line can flip the entire cost comparison toward Contabo.

長所:

• Real dedicated-vCPU option with little CPU steal
• Cloud-native stack: API, ロードバランサ, アーム, プライベートネットワーク
• 20 TB included EU traffic, EUR 1/TB overage
• Hourly billing and free snapshots

短所:

• Dedicated-vCPU line up 169-173% since June 15, 2026
• US and Singapore traffic cut to 1 TB / 0.5 TB
• Half the RAM of Contabo at the same entry price

One more thing before you commit. Hetzner has no money-back guarantee. Hourly billing is the safety net instead, so you delete a server and charges stop. And new accounts, especially outside Germany, sometimes need an ID scan before the first server boots. Neither is a dealbreaker, but both catch people off guard who expect a one-click signup.

価格設定: CX23（ユーロ） 5.49 (4 GB Intel), CX33 (8 GB), CAX11 at EUR 5.99 (4 GB ARM), CAX21 at EUR 10.49 (8 GB ARM), CCX13 at EUR 42.99 (8 GB, ひたむきな). Servers ordered before June 15 keep their pre-hike rate. Watch the extras: automatic backups add 20% to the monthly rate, each IPv4 runs about EUR 0.50/mo, and some newer orders carry a setup fee. コンタボ, 対照的に, folds an IPv4 and one snapshot into its sticker price.

こんな方に最適: developers who want consistent cores, ARM options, and cloud primitives in an EU region. 次の場合はスキップします: you need dedicated cores on the cheap (Contabo's VDS is now cheaper) or you deploy heavy traffic in the US or Singapore.

評決: Hetzner earns its keep for EU-region apps that value predictable performance and real tooling over headline RAM. If you're buying dedicated cores or serving Asia and Australia, Contabo now wins the same money, so don't pay Hetzner's June prices out of habit.

Price Per Resource: Where the Euro Goes Further

Strip away the branding and match tier for tier. At entry, ユーロ 5.50 買う 8 GBと 4 cores at Contabo or 4 GBと 2 cores at Hetzner. Contabo doubles you on both. その周り 24 GBのRAM, Contabo のクラウド VPS 30 is EUR 14 with shared cores. To match that memory on Hetzner you'd climb well up its shared lines, and its dedicated 16 GB CCX23 alone now runs EUR 85.99.

The dedicated-core tier is the headline flip. Contabo VDS S at EUR 34.40 与える 3 physical cores and 24 GB RAM. Hetzner CCX13 at EUR 42.99 与える 2 vCPU と 8 GB. On raw allocation, Contabo wins that matchup by a wide margin after June 15. Where Hetzner claws value back is ARM: the CAX11 at EUR 5.99 has no Contabo equivalent, and for ARM-native workloads it's cheap, 効率的, and consistent. So the price answer isn't "one is cheaper." It's Contabo for memory and dedicated cores, Hetzner for ARM and for what a euro buys in stability rather than gigabytes.

Now the twist most buyers miss: true bare metal reverses the dedicated story. Contabo wins cheap dedicated vCPU through its VDS line. But Hetzner owns cheap physical hardware through its Server Auction. These are refurbished machines with no setup fee or minimum term, starting near EUR 35/month. Contabo's cheapest bare-metal server starts around USD 110/month. Want a whole physical box rather than a guaranteed slice? Hetzner's auction undercuts Contabo by roughly 3x, and the June price hike left it untouched. If bare metal is the goal, weigh both against the wider dedicated server field before you buy.

パフォーマンス, 通信網, and Global Reach

Specs win the spreadsheet; behavior wins production. Contabo's shared cores can hit 20-40% CPU steal at peak, and reviewers note time-to-first-byte (サーバーが応答を開始する速度) swinging through the day on loaded machines. Hetzner's shared cores wobble less, and its dedicated-vCPU line, pricey as it now is, removes the noisy-neighbor problem outright. Network favors Hetzner too: Contabo caps the entry port at 200 Mbit / s, while Hetzner runs a faster, more even backbone. If your bottleneck is bandwidth or steady response time, that difference is the product.

Reach flips the other way. コンタボが各地に広がる 9 地域と 11 データセンター: a European hub in Germany plus the UK (ポーツマス), 米国の 3 つの地域 (ニューヨーク, シアトル, St. ルイ), シンガポール, 東京, シドニー, ムンバイ. Hetzner runs six locations across four countries: ドイツのファルケンシュタインとニュルンベルク, フィンランドのヘルシンキ, Ashburn and Hillsboro in the US, とシンガポール. For an audience in Japan, オーストラリア, またはインド, Contabo puts a box near them; Hetzner can't. Both are German companies, so for EU data-residency under GDPR either one keeps data on the continent. That's worth weighing alongside the broader German hosting market if your users sit in Central Europe.

How to Choose Between Contabo and Hetzner

Don't default to the cheaper sticker. Match the box to the job.

ワークロード: memory-hungry app, 予算は月 15 ユーロ未満, latency not critical → Contabo Cloud VPS 30 (ユーロ 14, 24 GB RAM). Self-hosted analytics, a game server, a big database cache, or a staging fleet all want RAM more than steady microsecond timing. Hetzner can't touch 24 GB at that price without jumping to an EUR 85.99 dedicated plan. Skip Contabo only if the app can't tolerate occasional CPU steal.

ワークロード: production API or checkout flow, EUの視聴者, needs consistent cores → Hetzner. Buy the CAX11 (ユーロ 5.99 アーム) if your stack is ARM-ready, or step to a dedicated CCX plan if it isn't and the budget allows. The point here is predictable response time, and Contabo's shared-core variance works against you. Pair it with a managed load balancer as you scale.

観客: primarily Japan, オーストラリア, or India → Contabo, on distance alone. A Tokyo or Sydney box shaves latency that no amount of Hetzner tuning recovers from Falkenstein. Hetzner's only Asia-Pacific site is Singapore, そしてその 0.5 TB traffic cap there makes a busy site expensive fast.

バジェット: you want dedicated cores as cheap as possible → Contabo VDS S (ユーロ 34.40, 3 コア, 24 GB). Post-June, this undercuts Hetzner's CCX13 (ユーロ 42.99, 2 コア, 8 GB) on both price and resources. A year ago the smart pick was Hetzner; the June hike reversed it. 1 つの注意点: if the workload can run on ARM, Hetzner's CAX11 is the exception that still beats Contabo on efficiency per euro.

よくある質問

Is Hetzner still cheaper than Contabo after the 2026 値上げ?

Not on resources. At entry, both sit near EUR 5.50, but Contabo gives 8 GB of RAM to Hetzner's 4 GB. For dedicated cores the gap widened after June 15: Contabo's VDS S (ユーロ 34.40, 24 GB) now undercuts Hetzner's CCX13 (ユーロ 42.99, 8 GB). Hetzner is only "安い" if you count ARM value or the stability you get per euro, not the gigabytes.

Does Contabo or Hetzner have less CPU steal?

ヘッツナー, 明らかに. Contabo runs shared cores, and users report steal climbing to 20-40% during busy hours, which shows up as uneven response times. Hetzner's shared cores are steadier, and its dedicated-vCPU CCX plans remove steal entirely. If your app is latency-sensitive, that consistency is the main reason to pay Hetzner's higher 2026 価格.

Which is better for hosting in Asia or Australia, Contabo または Hetzner?

コンタボ, by reach. It runs data centers in Tokyo, シドニー, ムンバイ, とシンガポール, so you can place a server near the audience. Hetzner's only Asia-Pacific location is Singapore, and that region includes just 0.5 TB of traffic with EUR 7.40/TB overage, which punishes busy sites. For Japanese, オーストラリア人, or Indian users, Contabo is the practical pick.

Can I run Docker and Kubernetes on both Contabo and Hetzner?

Yes on both, since each gives full root on an unmanaged server. The difference is tooling. Hetzner offers an API, a Terraform provider, ロードバランサ, and private networks that make a self-run Kubernetes cluster far less painful. On Contabo you wire all of that yourself. For hands-off container orchestration, Hetzner's cloud-native pieces save real hours.

Do Contabo and Hetzner offer refunds?

Contabo offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on new orders, though conditions apply (the auto-renewal grace period doesn't cover German customers). Hetzner offers none. It bills by the hour instead, so cancelling a server stops the meter right away. Want a trial window to bail out? Contabo's refund is the safer route. Happy to pay only for the hours you actually run? Hetzner's model fits better.

最終評決

勝者は一人もいない, and anyone who names one hasn't read the June price list. コンタボ takes raw value: double the RAM at entry, cheaper dedicated cores after Hetzner's hike, 無制限のトラフィック, and data centers across Asia and Australia. Buy it when raw capacity is the point and you can live with shared-core variance. ヘッツナー takes consistency and tooling: steadier cores, a genuine cloud API, ARM servers, と 20 TB of EU traffic. Buy it for EU-region production apps where predictable performance beats headline gigabytes, and lean on the CAX11 ARM plan to sidestep the dedicated-line price shock.
