Recently got an email from Contabo about their new US St. Louis Data Center. Here is the email.
Dear Mr Content.id Today we have BIG news for you: We are launching a brand-new data center location in the USA, namely in St. Louis, Missouri. From now on, you can benefit from our made-in-Germany quality and great prices not only in the EU, but also in the US. In our US Location we offer VPS SSD series as well as our 10-Core Dedicated Server. Please visit our blog for more details on prices, data center setup and migration: https://blog.contabo.com/company/contabo-introduces-new-data-center-location-in-the-united-states/ USA was the most requested location among our customers so I hope you will benefit from our expansion across the pond. Best regards, Aleksander Kuczek Chief Revenue Officer
Great Prices
We keep the same base price for all our services in both EU and US locations. At the same time, we are introducing a Location Fee for our US location as the operating costs in the US (including electricity, cooling and data center floor) are higher. The Location Fee depends on the service you order:
VPS S SSD: +1 EUR / month
VPS M SSD: +2 EUR / month
VPS L SSD: +3 EUR / month
VPS XL SSD: +6 EUR / month
Dedicated Server 10-core: +20 EUR / month
For example, the price for VPS S SSD in US Location is 4.99 EUR + 1 EUR Location Fee, which is roughly 6.55 USD per month for 4 cores, 8 GB RAM, and 200 GB SSD disk space.
