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.
What type of nodes do you plan to run with this? I'm looking for something to do as well if ever I plan to run on a mini PC or VPS.
I was thinking about an Staking node for ClamCoin, i like that coin because it's cheap, and with 5000 of them you stake 1/day. The clam node only needs like 10 GB, so, it could be a good option. And i like it for developing proposes, it easy to use and it has the same syntax than normal coins like LTC, DOGE, BTC...
So, i still thinking about getting one VPS with Contavo, let's see if this week i pay for the 3 months plan for testing.
So at least to get an ideal staking node for clam coin, have at least $1.3k USD to convert it into 5000 clam coin and have 1 clam coin per day? I think it's not bad. I remember reading about it somewhere, but I'm not sure when or what it is about.
Has anybody tried to get or build a node from like Contabo?
I used to run a Bitcoin Core node on a dedicated server (until the disk configuration changed and I didn't have the disk space anymore). If I remember correctly, it uploaded about 20 GB per day. Far less than the
0.5 TB limit I set. That made me conclude there's no shortage of upload bandwidth in the Bitcoin network.
I'm still running the node, but pruned. That means it now only uploads the latest blocks to other nodes. I just checked: it's still uploading 3 times more than it's downloading.
Pruned server would be ok if you are tight with the storage space
I wouldn't use any default containers, just download Bitcoin Core and start it manually.
I guess there's really no benefit in trying out those Bitcoin core copies from Contabo or something. I just wondered if anyone tried it.
My experience so far with VPS at Contabo is good. They are quite affordable and at least for me no bad pick.
I don't work for Contabo nor am I paid by them to advertise their products. I'm just a satisfied customer.
I have been a customer of Contabo as well for years because of my trading bot but it's just recently that I acquired a new VPS and just saw these offerings that they have. They have been a great service provider.
