Netcup vServer Gen 10
just saw, that netcup changed their vserver line up to next generation. more cores and storage... https://www.netcup-offers.eu/vserver/vps.php
original, translated announcement from their news page:
On Tuesday, April 5, 2022, netcup launches the latest vServer Generation 10, with higher performance and the option to choose the server location.
Due to the increasing demand for higher performance and the desire to be able to choose the server location, netcup is launching the new vServer Generation 10 from April 5, 2022.
Generation 10 vServers have more virtual cores and in most cases more SSD storage than Generation 9 vServers.VPS 2000 even doubles the number of vCores, VPS 6000 increases the SSD space by 336 GB (from 1200 to 1536 GB). In addition, the included traffic has been increased to 80 TB/month for all tariffs.
With the exception of VPS 200 and VPS 500, it is possible to select the server location for all vServer tariffs in the new Generation 10 when ordering. The locations Vienna (Wien) or Nuremberg (Nürnberg) are available. If the option "no preference" is selected instead, the server location will be determined automatically by netcup according to the available capacities.
The geographical distance between the two locations Vienna and Nuremberg and the particularly high-performance connection to the Backbone Europe enable many sophisticated high-availability concepts to be optimally secured against all conceivable failures and disaster scenarios through the redundant locations.
I have to admit I haven't checked yet, if there are more detailed changes to the pricing, the option to select the location is overdue anyway. the pricing for that seems to be slightly different depending on the size of the VM...
in any case it's gonna be interesting to see, what they come up with this easter then - egg hunt soon!!

the new G10 VPS has 0 month contract, but billing period is 6months.
how does this work, if i wish to cancel after first month?
Basically prepaid netcup credit, similar to oneprovider with their "onecloud" offerings afaik. Its a bit wonky.
i havent used either yet. does this mean if the vps is 2,99eur, i have to buy 17,94eur of netcup credit?
Probably all plans are more expensive, such as 8GB RAM / 160GB SSD ... 6 -> 8,75 € now (and root server 8/160 costs only 9)
Wonder if this is why I got declined for an order for G9.5 root server. Apparently they couldn't fulfill the order. Moving available hardware to this?
It works by refunding you, using the original payment method.
Many providers in germany use this method, as it has two benefits.
1) People may forget a non critial service, till it's past cancellation date (hence pay another renew)
2) Saves quite some transaction fees.
so this thread is no longer valid - "Netcup Doubled VPS Prices for International customers" https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/178120/netcup-doubled-vps-prices-for-international-customers/p1
??
so i intend to pay by PayPal, they will refund me the balance to PayPal instead of netcup credit?
Yes.
thanks for the explanation
yeah, I thought so. also the 8.75 still only apply if you go with a yearly contract it seems. hourly comes out at something around 10.80 for a full month/30days ...
indeed. as discussed in that thread it wasn't a raise based on the customers location though, only different priced products on pages in different languages. the regular netcup.eu page now has the same products as the german page again, aka the G10 products.
I haven't checked yet, but could be possible, that old gen9 order links are still floating around and maybe working...
interesting, what exactly did they tell you as a reason?
seems they had problems with those FLUX orders and stuff, maybe really low on hardware...
hope this doesn't keep them from some juicy easter eggs though.
On the 29th: https://paste.mxrouteapps.com/?199d9fe7da62c76d#DUNpxeQqH1c8D9D3xmB5anGmtbLBgAqAcoSGHUnU2q8T
Don't know what this flux thing is.

thanks for sharing! seems they really ran out of stock. something I am seeing with them for the first time.
to be fair, compared to chia I think this one is rather some kind of ripoff.
a self-called cloud platform that has it's users/miners pay for contracts with random providers not knowing what kind of sh*t is gonna be run on that and from within their 'app' - could even be something trying to build a new darkweb or the likes, who knows.
RS 1000 G9.5 got doubled cores only for +0.4EUR, whilst keeping the 1 month billing/contract period. Insta-upgrade for me.
Anyone know what CPU those g10 are? Same ?
anyone got yabs?
also, can you check the steal amount? I'm pretty curious, might be a great deal
Pointless waste of energy and resources, both of them.
Here is a YABS from their biggest vserver. Kinda low multicore score, isnt it?
Also, they gave it more ram than advertised. Strange.
Lemme know if you want me to run any tests / commands before i refund it.

multicore seems fine, as you have to consider those virtual cores more likely be threads and not dedicated to you anyway. 2 threads make 1 core and the achieved score is close to 9x single core, so I'd say it adds up and is a good result.
even if you bench a regular 8 core /16 thread CPU in a dedicated server, you will only see something close to 8x single core as multi core result...
you have to pay 6 month, but if you cancel for example to the end of the thir mont, you will get a refund of the other 3 month you already paid. Something like that is made to reduce the direct and indirect costs on billing (support for customers that forgot to paid the invoice, or support on general payment problems, reduce costs for payment services like paypal)
