History

Contabo was founded in the spring of 2003 under the name Giga-International. Initially, the company operated with just a single server. Over the years, Contabo has expanded significantly and now manages over 400,000 servers worldwide.[1]

In 2009, Contabo established its first state-of-the-art data center in Munich, which could house more than 4,000 physical servers. In 2013, the company rebranded from Giga-International to Contabo and began offering its services internationally. To meet growing demand, Contabo opened a second data center in Nuremberg in 2014, capable of hosting 10,000 physical servers. In 2020, Contabo expanded its operations outside Europe by opening its first data centers in the United States, with locations in Central, East, and West USA.[2]
