Netcup KVM XL vs Online.net Dedibox Classic 2015
Which one would you choose for OVZ virtualization?
So far my conclusion on the two offers is:
Netcup:
More RAM (like way more! 8GB!)
More uptime (although they only state 99,6% my small servers with them had a 99,8% uptime with uptimerobot so far)
Network is really good from my experience
No real support besides uptime issues though forum is active and friendly.
Online.net
Resources 100% dedicated as it is a dedi box
Larger disk space (2TB!) although hdd no ssd option available atm
Also pretty good network ive heard
more flexible with additional ips
Price: 29,99EUR/mo
320 GB SSD/640 HDD
24 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
Intel Xeon E5 2660 v3 (not sure if dual CPU or not but if yes, thats huge!)
8 dedicated cores
1 Gbit/s unmetered (shared though as it is no dedi box. that being said only had very good experience with netcup network on my smaller vps so far.)
RAID 10
99,6 % Uptime
IPv4: 1 EURO/month/additional ip + 5 EURO setup. Can only pay 12 months in advance.
IPv6: /64
DDOS Protection
Price: 29,99EUR/mo
2x1TB sata (hdd)
16 GB DD3 ECC
4 Cores (dedicated ofc)
1 Gbit/s (300 mbits) premium
RAID (Software)
99,5 % uptime
IPv4: 2EUR/mo/addtional ip + 3EUR setup
IPv6: /48
DDOS Protection (I think onlines is better though)

the online wins anyday. single threaded and probably multi threaded, and the Netcup ones probably aint dedicated cores but "dedicated" threads
It says dedicated CORES though. I will email them today
if it were cores then netcup would have a lead id recon, eh?
so do most hosts here, but most oversell by selling threads as cores.
That might be true for some hosts but from my previous experience with them and from what I have heard I dont assume they are overselling their resources. Atleast not to a noticeable extent.
EDIT
Netcup just replied that we in fact talk about DEDICATED CORES (not threads).
My netcup KVM ran like hell, so unless you are trying to do nested virt, go with it
But note that there's an online.net Dedi with an e3 and 32GB RAM for 36€.
that E5 performs between a E3 and E5 from benchmarks http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/search?q=E5-2660+v3
(btw cpubenchmark is useless dont use it)
Ah thanks for the headsup! Is cpubench that bad? So would that link be your average bench lookup site?

Well the performance is very good at netcup , almost reach the online.net dedicated server. Also the SSD speed at netcup is very good. Got 100k read ips and 43k write iops. (online.net got around 990 and 730)

I paste my bench here too maybe useful.
I am a new customer so.. Dont know they are good or not but seems yes
Thanks for the bench
Well I have smaller vps with them 6 months and am really happy :P
As you said you are happy with them on another product...
And since you have to pay Set-up fees: €40.00 and taxes on top of the monthly 29,99€ at online.net, you should definitely go with Netcup.
The thing is I am always hesitant as I see KVM vs Dedicated and I still cant really evaluate if KVM would underperform that badly. Then again I have already used ovz virtualization without performance problems with netcups kvm solutions. Just wondering if dedi would make that much a difference?
I'd go with a dedi. It's your resources and no big difference in price. If you can, go with a larger box from online. They're really worth it.
Please note.. disk fails , server fails and try to discover whats the problem with the dedicated? Oh my cpu fan failed hoops. Hoops my disk failed. Raid 1? Oh great my data will be there but the server fail anyway...
Only the MD 2015 lead the quality:

Raid card , and SSD. I will never buy a server without SSD..
So the conclusion with KVM.. take a seat and enjoy the server run the server run and who care about the other thing. There is no other things.
But who like to monitor servers like me at online.net and fear when my hardware would fail...
But thats another story.. backup backup and time time.
Your choice
Less headache with KVM and less performance. But seems not too much less regarding my benchmark.
