Netcup launched G9.5 root servers, good and bad news!

Hi

Netcup launched G9.5 of root server line and we have good news and bad news.

Good News: + cores
Bad News: If you choose server location, you pay + 1.90 EUR for Vienna and + 2.80 EUR Nuremberg

Not a good move :(

    I'm here waiting for Gen 10.

    4 dedicated (AMD 7702) cores for 10.80€ is awesome.

    What? They charge to let you choose the location? Never seen this before.

    Yes they do.
    Note that the price show above is for the RS 2000 G9.5. The price is higher for the larger servers.

    Internet connection at Vienna and Austria in general sucks, I guess you are paying that.

    I noticed this yesterday myself, after purchasing 9 different plans for other purpose, now I am going to plan termination in 2 months time and repurchase the 9.5 plans a week before cancellation an migrate them all over, I know I can cancel services within 14 days, but I do not want to abuse that.

    "Can I upgrade my existing root server from generation 9 to generation 9.5?
    Yes, it is possible to upgrade an existing root server to generation 9.5."

    Hope this helps.

    I imagine that an upgrade would take place (i.e., begin) only at the end of your present contract (in your case, after the first two months)

    the current contract get prorated refunded, then a new contract is made.

    Would this apply to special offers or only regular ones?
    Edit: Of course I'll lost the special offer and get a new 9.5 root server ar retail price! o:) o:)

    Have you choose the server location? where did you end up?

  • ollietrexollietrex Member

    Has anyone got one and got a yabs / benchmark?

    no special location, DE in fine

    Thank God I got my RS 8000 in Black Friday. 12 Cores for 40 euros. The only issue is that I am locked in contract for a year. So, waiting for next black Friday for RS 8000 9.5 50% off. ;)

  • ollietrexollietrex Member

    For 12 euro not a bad spec at all. The network could be a little bit better.

    did you paid for the location specifically or it random assigned to Nuremberg?

  • ollietrexollietrex Member

    I paid for the location, I have already cancelled it with the 14 cancellation policy so did not pay anything. Nice server, not the best network but prefer something a bit closer to where I live.

    Tune network configs with sysctl and you will have one of the best networks. Havent saw better peering they they have for a long time

    I can attest to this. The network and specs are god level for the offer price. Also netcup vouchers can be found all over the internet to help lower the overall cost. The older RS G9s are also available but probably only through vouchers.

    Never really looked into this before, would you have any recommendations? Having a quick good would something like this help https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/linux-sysctl-tuning

    Recently switched from Hetzner to Netcup. Couldn't be happier. If only this was available then, 2 extra cores for €.50 less? Yes,please!
    Dang it

    Just don't monitor your server. You'll see 500-2000ms latency spikes on a daily basis for 10-20 seconds at a time, with a good amount of packet loss as well if you're having an extra good day.

    One could almost say you pay for network issues ^_^

    Their NOC acks it every time, but says it's just temporary - for months and months on end.

    Sorry you're having issues. Maybe contact them? My servers are running great, zero issues.

    I contact them plenty of times. So does other customers. It won't solve Anexia's congestion problems.

    If you have zero issues, you're not actually monitoring their network that well. Set up fping from plenty sources, feed into grafana - see nice spikes randomly.

    Curious whether it is a purely network issue you are getting or a symptom of the same daily freezing I get on Netcup

    Purely network, and considering it happens across multiple VMs (all root servers), exactly at the same time, every time :) It usually depends on the path taken, but of 15 test locations, at least 10 experience issues whenever it happens.

    Does the IPs change when upgrading a G9 to GO9.5? And I'm wondering if they will move a RS from Nuremberg to Vienna if you don't select Nuremberg explicitly.
