Contabo
the most hardware per euro and a free one-click add-on — attached to two vendor pages that flatly contradict each other on security.
unbeatable specs and a genuinely free one-click add-on, undercut by the fact that contabo's own documentation cannot agree on whether your gateway is exposed.
the hardware case is overwhelming: 4 vcpus and 8 gb for less than the price of a 2 gb droplet, with unlimited fair-use traffic, plus an openclaw add-on you can tick during provisioning at no extra cost. on paper this is the value pick of the category.
then you read both of contabo's pages. its help centre states the control ui does not expose a public web interface and binds to 127.0.0.1 only. its own security guide says the gateway listens on port 18789 with no inherent access control, notes that openclaw 'can execute any shell command', and tells you to bind it to localhost yourself. those cannot both describe the same install, and we could not determine which is current.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
