Questions
What is the minimum NimbusVPS payment in this comparison?
Pro in Amsterdam is $48.16 USD paid for 3 months ($16.05/month equivalent), for Linux with no paid add-ons. A monthly equivalent is not a one-month order. Windows, other countries, options and external transfer fees change the total.
Does Contabo crypto-node hosting mean it accepts Bitcoin payment?
No. Running a blockchain node and paying the hosting invoice in crypto are different features. Contabo’s payment help page explicitly excludes cryptocurrency payments.
Does paying Contabo in crypto guarantee no KYC?
No. Payment methods and identity checks are separate. This table states what the reviewed Contabo sources establish and labels missing verification. NimbusVPS checkout has no ID-upload or phone field, but does retain email and order/payment information.
Are the prices a performance or reliability ranking?
No. We compare published specifications and purchase conditions, not measured CPU, latency, uptime or support quality. Read each provider’s terms. Nimbus publishes a seven-day first-order VPS refund policy with exclusions for network fees, third-party licences, renewals and AUP violations.
