I had not so good experiences with Contabo lately. Lot of outages and they withdrew 2 more month after the end of my subscription. Ionos had no outtages so far (5th month). In addition their web interface is better than Contabos.

I have been using contabo for over a year and had 2 outages when they had some problems last month.

For the webinterface I don't care since I do everywhing in the cli amd don't mind a bad interface.

Then it must've been bad luck. I had plenty more over the course of a few month with a CS GO server and it wasn't the game server because I often couldn't login via SSH or the session just froze. And I definitely took precautions with a firewall, fail2ban and no root, no password only certificate SSH login (a tried and tested combination of measurements I use on plenty other ionos VPS).

You're right the webinterface doesn't really matter but the overall impression was much more professional on ionos with a slick interface for the config of the hw firewall.
