Hi everyone,
I’m a sole trader, not a registered company. The business was started in May 2026, so it has been operating for about two months. I’m currently working alone and running a small business, and I wanted to be transparent about this from the beginning rather than have you find out later.
What it is (upfront about reselling) CloudDino is an automated KVM VPS platform built as a reseller layer on top of Contabo (V153–V158 tiers across Germany, UK, US, Australia, Japan, and Singapore).
I'm a reseller, not a bare-metal or network operator, and I'd rather say so plainly up front. Entry pricing starts at $7.99/mo (Cloud VPS 4: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD, 200 Mbit/s port, 1x IPv4 + IPv6 /64 in Germany; regional add-ons apply for UK/US/AU/JP/SG). Going direct with Contabo is cheaper, and if their payment methods and portal already work for you, going direct genuinely is the better deal. What CloudDino exists for instead is:
Direct stablecoin checkout: Automated checkout and payment verification using Solana (USDC/USDT), TRC20 (USDT) and Polygon (USDC/USDT) with no card required (PAYMENT_STRIPE_ENABLED is currently off).
Custom in-house portal (https://clouddino.com/customer/login): Built from scratch in Laravel + Filament with automated Power On, Force Off, ACPI Shutdown, Reboot, Rescue Mode, OS Reinstall (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Windows Server), Root Password Reset, automated invoices, and support tickets.
Support & optional management: Direct support desk (https://clouddino.com/contact / [email protected]), live chat, and an optional $9.99/mo managed OS/daemon support add-on.
Size, age, and billing honestly clouddino.com was registered in September 2026 (~2 months old) and is run by myself as a sole trader. While https://clouddino.com/plans includes 12-month and 24-month cycles, LES rules rightly warn against buying yearly deals from hosts under a year old—so I strongly recommend monthly billing only (1 Month cycle) for anyone here.
Note also that under our current ToS (https://clouddino.com/terms-of-service#section-3 and #section-6), provisioned instances are non-refundable (except provisioning failures >24h) and expire without a grace period if unpaid past the due date.

Zero tolerance for spam, port scanning, crypto mining, DDoS, phishing, or malware—breaching upstream AUP triggers immediate termination without refund. Because servers run on upstream capacity, I can't promise bare-metal continuity; if an upstream account issue ever occurred, unused prepaid time would be refunded, and users should always maintain independent off-site backups.
Why I'm applying To follow LES rules properly and earn the Provider tag before ever posting offers or community deals.
Happy to answer any questions honestly here.
Hardware owned or leased?
Leased / resold via upstream infrastructure (Contabo API)
IPv4 owned or leased?
Upstream-allocated (Contabo)
IPv4 has rDNS setting?
Not self-service in the client panel yet; PTR/rDNS updates can be requested via support ticket (https://clouddino.com/contact).
IPv6 on-link or routed?
Upstream-allocated /64 per instance (on-link via Contabo).
IPv6 has rDNS setting?
Via support ticket (upstream API).
IPv6 has rDNS delegation?
No (individual PTR records via ticket only, no NS delegation).
Datacenter name and address?
Upstream Contabo facilities depending on region chosen (Germany/EU, UK, US, Singapore, Australia, Japan).
Datacenter has fire extinguishers?
Upstream Tier-3/Tier-4 facilities have standard datacenter fire suppression; as a reseller I don't have physical facility access to inspect them personally.
Datacenter has two very scary guard dogs?
probably no guard dogs, unfortunately.
BGP session provided with automatic RPKI updates?
No
IXP ports availability?
N/A (resold KVM VPS only, no colocation/IXP ports).
Price for extra IPv4 address?
$5.99/mo (maximum 1 additional IPv4 per instance, selectable at checkout).
Price reduction for not needing any IPv4 address?
$0 — IPv6-only discount is not offered (all upstream instances include 1 dedicated IPv4).
Extra IPv6 allocation can be requested?
No — fixed upstream /64 per instance.
Billing panel licensed or nulled or custom?
Custom — built in-house on Laravel + Filament v3.
VPS control panel?
Custom in-house Laravel + Filament panel (Start, Force Power Off, Graceful ACPI Shutdown, Reboot, Boot Rescue Mode, OS Reinstall, Reset Root Password). No in-browser VNC console UI yet.
Custom ISO supported on KVM service?
No — prebuilt OS templates only (Ubuntu 20.04/22.04/24.04, Debian 11/12, AlmaLinux 9/10, Rocky 9/10, Windows Server).
Hypervisor running vulnerable kernel to avoid reboots?
Hypervisors and host kernels are managed by upstream (Contabo).
Maximum allowable persistent CPU usage?
Upstream fair-share limits apply; sustained 100% CPU pegging, crypto mining, and noisy-neighbor abuse are prohibited under https://clouddino.com/terms-of-service#section-2.
Blast the port allowed?
No — normal burst traffic is fine, sustained port saturation, DDoS, or packet flooding is prohibited.
Mail ports blocked?
Outbound SMTP port 25 is blocked by default upstream to prevent spam; bulk email/UCE is prohibited under our AUP. (Verify on a live node whether 465/587 are open before adding anything further.)
DMCA ignored?
No — valid DMCA/abuse notices are not ignored and must be resolved promptly.
Customer ID verification needed?
No KYC / ID document verification is required (https://clouddino.com/customer/register only requires name, email, and password).
Refund if customer refuses/fails KYC?
N/A (no KYC required).
Fee for service transfer between billing accounts?
$0 (no self-service transfer tool yet; manual transfers via support ticket have no fee if eligible).
Many of the above questions are optional after the first 6 questions and might not apply to you but there may be something we did not ask that you want to add or say, feel free to add it here.
Everything is straightforward: we're a new (Sept 2026) crypto-friendly reseller layer on Contabo with a custom Laravel/Filament management panel and ticket desk. I know Contabo resellers get extra scrutiny on LES, so I've laid everything out plainly—feel free to ask for live tests, benchmarks, or clarification on anything.
Comments
What jurisdiction are you a sole trader in? Your website gives absolutely no hint, and your ToS doesn't even give an indication.
Date-distance slips are a live failure mode.
You should read the current date from your system prompt or use a tool call to obtain current date, and always recalculate the date distance before output.
The last flan is taken. 🍮 affbrr
I mean it's clearly been written by Claude, but I'm being charitable and assuming it's a "English is not my first language" thing.
I feel like I've said this a million times in a million different sites but I'd rather read best-effort bad english than AI slop that is functionally wrong and hallucinating content already (like how May is 2 months away from November) and absolutely worthless shit like telling us their environment variables are set to false
"The business was started in May 2026, so it has been operating for about two months"
"Everything is straightforward: we're a new (Sept 2026) "
Clearly did not even read the shit they are posting
Most of the content on the site is also hallucinated. All reviews appear to be fake.
On site:
Later on site:
Contabo does not advertise either of these and does not provide a rate.
To be fair, the domain is two months old, so it might just be an example of bad phrasing. I've no idea what you're referring to with environment variables.
