Migration

How to cancel and migrate to Infrawire

Leave Contabo cleanly: back up, deploy on Infrawire, switch traffic — then cancel the old contract.

Journey

ContaboInfrawire

3 steps — no hard cutover, no data loss.

  1. 1

    Back up at Contabo

    Export sites, databases and snapshots from the Contabo panel or via SSH before any cutover.

  2. 2

    Order and configure Infrawire

    Spin up an NVMe VPS in your preferred region, restore your data and test your stack on the new IP.

  3. 3

    Switch DNS and validate

    Point domains to Infrawire, verify SSL and monitoring. Once stable, proceed to cancel Contabo.

How to cancel at Contabo

3 steps in the Contabo client area — once Infrawire is validated.

  1. 1

    Log in to the manager

    Sign in to the Contabo client area with the account tied to your VPS or subscription.

  2. 2

    Select the service

    Open the VPS / Cloud section, find the server to stop and ensure no critical data remains only there.

  3. 3

    Cancel or disable renewal

    Start cancellation, turn off auto-renewal and keep the email confirmation.

Where Contabo beats Infrawire

No blind marketing: situations where Contabo may still be more relevant than us.

  • 1

    Your absolute priority is the lowest possible entry price.

  • 2

    You accept slower support in exchange for high RAM per euro.

  • 3

    You already have active promos or credits at Contabo.

This list is indicative. Your context (budget, jurisdiction, stack) may shift the balance — contact us if you are unsure between Contabo and Infrawire.
