No.
We never increased our prices when we started giving those all.

netcup wins
Frankly, I can't say a lot based on those benchmarks, because my experience with all those X-ench scripts is rather limited, other than looking at and analyzing their source. What I can see though is that their SSDs are well put together (e.g. Raid, cache, etc) and that the node isn't IO starved. And I see a case of SSD based storage not being significantly slower than NVMe based storage.
In fact, even my own HDD based VDS (I chose higher cap but rust over (much) lower cap but SSD) isn't a snail at all. With top class providers like netcup (and presumably BuyVM) one can rely on good caching (fast and plenty) as well as on good hardware (rather than cheap junk).
As for CPU/mem performance I have two things to say: (a) Zen (even v1) really is bloody fast, and (b) frankly, I think in 90% of use cases (in VDS/VPS) it's actually more performance than one needs, which also means that other than benchmark porn addiction (high numbers) any Zen is damn good enough - IF it goes with reasonable DDR4, say, > 2600 MHz. That, poor RAM is the one factor that can pull down Zen performance quite a bit, but again, good providers like netcup or BuyVM (or NexusBytes) won't walk into that "cost saving" trap I guess.
highjacking old thread, but actually been running this the past week, and really fckin flies. Prob hold onto it for at least 6 months or so. Obviously not as smokin as my webnx, but for the price very nice
