Those are some really cheap VPS, is the first time i read about Contabo, they have nice reviews in trust pilot, and I'm tempted now to get one VPS with them. I'm not sure if i will use it for running a BTC node, but other coins node could be a good option.
And thanks to NotATether for the remainder of the pruned nodes, i forgot that name and wasn't able to find the concept.
But overall 4.1 isn't that nice. And reading review with 1-4 starts, there are some complaint about customer service and server reliability (e.g. down or disconnect). It doesn't seem to be good idea to run node and run staking, where you got punished for going offline.

2 cores of what CPU? 3GB ram is a bit light but doable.
For under $70 a year it's not bad. If there is some sort of price guaranty. Do you want to be moving in 6 months because it's now $9.99 / month?
Have dealt with that a few times over the years.
Also, does that come with a dedicated public IP or are you behind a NAT?
If you are only going to be on TOR for the node it's not a big deal, if you want public access it's a different story.
Yeah, I can go dig around the site but I'm on mobile at the moment.

I dig their FAQ and docs, but i didn't find about which CPU they use. You get dedicated IPv4 and IPv6. As for pricing, i don't think there's any guarantee.
