to chime in, VPS 200 G8 BF 2018
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/14991406
Your score, which is between the two above, is probably closer to the average
By the way, you might update your Geekbench software, which is now at v4.4.2 (you're still using v4.3.3)

"Der netcup Adventskalender"
Their webhostinig offerings are not so compelling, but the unmetered download can be useful if you have loads of media.
Today deal: RS 1000 SSD G8 ADV19
Processor: Intel® Xeon® Gold 6230
Cores: 2 dedicated
Main memory DDR 4 ECC: 8 GB
Hard disk: 40 GB SSD
€6.99 per month, 3 months free, 12 months contract.
~5.25€ per month in total.
This thing normally is €6.99 fro 12 months contract, so the "deal" is 3 months free I guess.
I use netcup since 2018 about 1.5 years, running production servers with their RS server lines, I found them good, never complained about our workload, as we use 80-90% RAM, above 80-90% v.code CPUs allocated to us, consuming more bandwidths.
I am sure I am going to buy few VPSes this year, for load balancing and failover IPs [I missed BF deals]. I found them cheaper than Hetzner on high volume RAMs, storages [NAS].
I had few downtimes with PHPFriends, but not with netcup, systems are working normal, under pressure.
I have tried virmach last year, wasted a lot of money, as they have policy for using CPU beyond certain level, so I have to idle Virmach, cancelled all my VPSes this year [nearly 15 of them except one.
My setup is like,
Hetzner is superfast with RAM, SDD, network etc.
Hetzner and netcup don't give flexibility [they have process to follow], where as PHP-friends are humans who can customize if you really wanted that way.
MXroute is good for email.
Is it just me or do the Netcup Adventskalender offerings look missable so far?
None of the offerings so far are the kind I would regret missing even if I had the money.
When you mention Netcup's 48 to 60GB RAM machines I suspect you are using the G7 series which use the Xeon 2680v4 processors and they offer more cores on them at a higher price than the G8.
It look strange to me that Netcup charges more for less RAM and less storage on older technology with the G7 series. Why would that be? Are they more expensive to run or what, or are they just trying to get people to move to the G8 series for some reason?
One thing for sure they don't offer the cores available for the G7 on the G8 severs.
They do.
It's no different from the past couple of years: most of the offers aren't vServers or Root-Servers.
(But this is okay. They're not trying to cater to LET whims.)
What were you expecting? What's different from previous years?
Mine all vps are RS G8 [10 dedicated v.cores, 48 GB RAM, 1 TB SAS], [not aware of G7 series] took them in 2018 AdventCalendar offer, they added bonus RAM and SAS storage but kept the cost same. This year, I see they don't add RAM or storage offers instead they reduce the cost. If you are outside EU, holding a business, you can levy 19% on their price.
20191209 special (rootserver 8G/2 cores/400GSSD for 8.99EUR):
https://www.netcup.de/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2518
Seems pretty decent. Note one-year billing minimum which is why I didn't grab one.
This has the exact same specs as the Black Mamba previously mentioned, but costs 1€ less per month. Pretty good deal!
Dec 13 special, seems good:
rootserver 32G/6 dedi cores/560G SSD

i have 4 400ssd slots.it's the best server i've ever got.
I just got one, it was sold out this morning. But i could buy it now.
Do they offer Directadmin?
Netcup don’t offer DirectAdmin. I believe they off Plesk but for a monthly fee

Nice. It's much more than I need, but nice.
How's the CPU steal with those servers? Are they managed well, given that they are marketed as dedicated cores?
In general, I have found the Root Server line up to have relatively consistent (and good) CPU performance.
I have not had a great experience with their VPS line up - the performance varies widely (to almost shabby, if you are truly CPU bound). It was pretty good in the beginning but as the nodes get loaded, the performance drops.
Zero CPU steal every time I tried any netcup root server.
RS 8000 SSDx4 G8SE, 64GB RAM, 8 cores and all the SSD you can eat (1040Gb) for 36.99 euro if you are ready to fork out for a year in advance.
Any takers?
This will be available for a while. They never offered it earlier unlike the RS1000, 2000 and 4000
wow with the amount of storage that's quite a beast... sadly nested virt will not come cheap though.
and you forgot the link: https://www.netcup-offers.eu/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2525 ;-P
The contract is for a year, but you only pay for six months in advance, which is slightly less painful
What a monster VPS though ...
and
While the config is sweet, I think the pricing is really not so great on this. If you look at Hetzner's Ryzen lineup and are willing to trade for storage in lieu of that beast of a CPU, this really is not such a competitive deal IMHO. Plus, Hetzner is monthly (without the ridiculous cancel deal at Netcup).
I also personally feel the RS Black Pearl was a better deal (2 of them to give you this configuration at 2x the storage).
