They limit you to 10k.
Is that normal?
Even if I do not know your use case, i will say you will be fine and won't see any problem in performance.
The performance overall is good given the price(less than 3 EUR per month). I ask this just because I saw faster 4k io speed according to YABS for some more expensive Netcup vps posted by other users on Lowendtalk. Since from my past experience, some cloud providers(eg. Hetzner) just offer the same io speed no matter what your plans are.
For reference this is a VPS 2000 G10 I recently got and haven't decided yet if to keep it or not. It has more cores and memory but the disk performance looks much better than yours regardless of the size of the servers. @CalmDown it doesn't seem like mine is limited to 10K IOPS
@vitobotta That depends on the node. Some of them are limited (don't know why). I was facing such an issue same with their root plans, and indeed support confirmed that they do "limit".
IO limit w netcup is tied to RAM or storage space. Bigger servers always have way better limits.
@O0ooo For $3.25/mo with hourly billing you got 4K block total speed 9.5K, whereas Contabo SSD for $10+/mo is just 2.6K.
9.5K is really not bad, there's not a lot of situation when you will notice it.
Do you really deal with 5000x+ reads per second of small 4kB portions of files / such small files?
It could matter for databases, but not with 2C+2G combo - you will hit these limits first.
Contabo limits to 2.6K on 4C-10C 8GB-60GB RAM, its completely different story. Don't worry about 9.5K on 2C+2G.
You've got 40TB limit, very usable NVMe speeds, 2C+2G for $3.25/mo with hourly billing, its crazy good deal.
@AXYZE
It's 80TB Traffic
In terms of performance, IMO even with 4-5K IOPS you can do a lot of stuff if you are not obsessed with pure numbers. For example I have run Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud for a while and used their block storage service for persistent volumes in Kubernetes. That block storage is capped at 7.5K IOPS and 300MB/sec transfer read/write, and I have run databases with quite a bit of load on them with no problems in performance at all. So I think 4-5K IOPS are fine for regular, not too heavy usage.
Thanks for your reply.
Even better, G9 was 40TB ;p
Does netcup vps line has port 25 open?
Yes
(But spammers will be shown no mercy)
Congrats on your second post
