Summary
Contabo
hosting vps dedicated
An Autonomous System operated by Contabo, a German provider known for very low-cost VPS and dedicated servers with generous resource allocations. CONTABO
What it's used for
- Budget VPS, dedicated servers, and storage/VDS hosting for a large global customer base.
Notable
- An IP here identifies Contabo as the host, not the operator of what runs on it — the low price point means a wide mix of legitimate and abusive tenants.
- Contabo has expanded from a single German footprint to data centers in the US, Asia, and elsewhere.
Interesting
- Contabo built its reputation on aggressively cheap VPS plans, which made it a common choice for hobbyists and, consequently, a frequent entry in abuse datasets.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
