Add Contabo to BTCPay Deployment docs > web deployment about btcpayserver-doc

Yea it advertises btcpay, but i had difficulties actually spinning it up (couldn't find an option to). I reached out to their customer support, awaiting response

They don't seem to have a premade disk image for btcpayserver yet. When you click Select on the last option you are presented with this as the OS:

So I guess it still is a normal docker deployment on a VPS in that sense. Unless they still have something in the pipeline, I wouldn't see why Contabo would deserve a spot in the docs any more then any other VPS provider.

Also you can't pay contabo in BTC ... that used to be a must have criteria.

But it deploys BTCPay? It's an easy way to deploy BTCPay through UI, I don't think technicalities matter in this case, you can do it in three clicks, you can't do that with any other VPS, so it does deserve a spot.

No this was never a must criteria to be listed in a docs.

Don't see any option for BTCPay Server on their advanced reinstall screen:

Could still be that they only show it on their bigger VPS products? I'm on the smallest plan (VPS S SSD).

Customer support confirmed that they do not have an option to spin up a hosted btcpayserver node. They advertise that you can run btcpayserver on their hosted box.

The image posted above is a potential configuration the user can choose, if they so wish to go through the standard installation and setup process one might with any hosted machine.
