They're not really dedicated. If you use 100% for 24/7 for example you'll get less power.
I am still holding on to one of the latter. I doubt the 2 dedicated cores are better than 8 shared ones, overall performance should be good anyway. of course depends on the intended use anyway...
keep in mind that mining is forbidden by their newer ToS - and they apply that at least to those who agree to it by ordering new services ;-)
maybe @angstrom can post the cpu flags, at least you might get AES instructions with the rootserver which you definitely won't get on the vserver.
it's still there for the moment, but you need to browse the german pages. also not working from mobile...
Ok, so same marketing catch as unlimited bandwidth, but we will throttle after 80 mbits for 15 minutes :-P
@angstrom can you do a GeekBench? Just curious as I'm pretty sure it's the same CPU setup as this one https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/701565 which is from an old netcup deal...don't remember who posted this though (perhaps it's you @Falzo?)
I vaguely remember @Falzo doing some tests before regarding that policy of netcup and I believe he concluded that unless you actually abuse it, it's actually leniently enforced...
Voilà (
cat /proc/cpuinfo):.

Basically, 1 of these E5 cores, is as powerful as an Intel Atom server, its more or less 2 Atom servers virtualized, with 8GB
@Clouvider
can i get one this sir ?
Am still running
unixbench.sh, but am pleased so far with the Root-Server Eierkanone, it's a great deal for the money. Personally, I didn't see much point in getting an Atom, though I almost did yesterday, but I stopped myself at the last minute. :-DIt's gone within 15 mins after that offer came up
can't tell if that's my doing with the geekbench, but looks quite like a 2core netcup. as it's not qemu it also should be a rootserver then.
here's a fresh one from the old BF vServer: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/7772886
also nench.sh:
from the looks of @angstrom benches the disk speed seems to be better on the new rootservers, but that might change once the nodes are in full use. don't know how netcup spreads their products across their nodes anyway...
TL;DR; obviously both are good value for the money, but I wouldn't change from the vserver to the RS ;-)
This is for the Root-Server Eierkanone:
How much was that deal?
For comparison,
nench.shon the Root-Server Eierkanone:I forget now, how much was that BF server? :-) Looks good. :-)
the same. aka 6,99€ including vat, 3 month term/payment :-)
That was also a great deal!
Got the time4vps storage 4TB for 50% off. That's $2.4/TB not bad
At the end I ended up getting nothing, not sure if that is a good sign
I only jumped on that one. 4core/4GB, also much value for the money... https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/7773892
Let me help you out: thats your shilling account, not the provider one. What made you login to your other profile just a minute before you posted this?
I actually planned to jump on VirMach storage deal but can't get the coupon to work, even when I saw the deal 1 min after it was posted. Tickets are not replied, maybe as someone mentioned above, I don't have enough services to count as old customer
Whatever will be, will be
Here it is: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/7773840
Yeah, you're right that 2 dedicated cores can't normally win against 8 virtual (shared) cores, but single-core performance is nevertheless better.
That's SATA, right? Nice iops and write speeds... And they have the same CPU as netcup's Root-Server Eierkanone.
Choosing between the two, which do you prefer? :-)
Another great deal.
The positive outlook is that you have more money now than if you had purchased something. ;-)
yes, afaik SATA. as it is 4core I went with that lovely box instead of another cupnet.
only half the ram, but another location to add to the mix. choosing yearly term dropped the price another 10% ;-)
while I am only customer since a few weeks with first-root, I really like their products and setup. as their usual prices are quite high it seems they're not so overrun and hopefully can keep up that impressive performance. also you can use nested virt oob and I have yet to run into any issue... I am confident that it's production ready, probably going to use it for some rendering or bigdata stuff, as the cores are quite powerful.
if you don't need the RAM and can live with a bit higher price I'd suggest trying the first-root lineup. though I don't know if there are any discount codes left.
Correct Sata HW Raid10 with 12 disks. Currently there are still coupons left. Keep in mind that this discount is recurring and remains active until you cancel your service!
Eirkanone sold out?
