    Does anyone know why they have a 31 day cancellation notice? I mean why 31 and not 30, why are they adding the 1 day instead of a standardized 30 day month? I think it's funny, but I was wondering if there is some logic to picking 31? :lol:

    Obviously, to force us to rent a server for at least 2 months.
    This must lead to abuse of the 14-day refund clause...

    By the way, I'm looking for an RS 2000 G11 JA24 (Nuremberg) (1024GB disk instead 512GB)
    If anyone has one they'd like to transfer, please contact me.

    common practice is 30 days notice, but it is governed by the contract.

  • ArkasArkas Member, Retired Moderator

    So it is basically, in reality a 2 month contract.

    Yes.
    And unless you really read the details, it's not clear that you'll be forced to pay for another month....

    Fortunately, their products are pretty good.

    @remy said: Fortunately, their products are pretty good.

    I've used them in the past, never had a problem, but I see their CP hasn't evolved much, but it is usable. I got the RS1000, planning on keeping it, it's looking good for the price.

    So today I ran

    lsblk -d -o NAME,ROTA
    
    and very surprisingly, I got
    
    NAME ROTA
    sr0     1
    vda     1
    

    This indicated the storage is HDD NOT SSD
    I contacted support, but have to wait until they open on Monday.

    Is that not because you can set scsi or ide in the panel ?

    If it's virtualized (either VPS or VDS), this command won't report the correct output

    You can also change some driver settings in the panel for the virtualization.

    @Advin said:

    This.

    vda typically means the driver is VIRTIO and sda means it is SCSI (including AHCI).

    Because this is a VM, there is no guaranteed reliable way of knowing what type of underling hardware it is (i.e. SSD vs HDD).

    You can get back /dev/sda if you switch the Netcup IO driver to SCSI (which was the default some time back, but recently they've switched to VIRTIO).

    Thanks everyone. I did not know that. I'm too old school, I need to update my knowledge :blush:

    By the way, I get the same output (= 1) from that command on three (non-netcup) VPSes that I have that (are said to) have SSD storage

    I don't think that that command yields reliable output in a virtualized environment

  • ArkasArkas Member, Retired Moderator

    @angstrom said: I don't think that that command yields reliable output in a virtualized environment

    Yes, it is outdated. I used it a lot back when SSDs were being introduced, and it worked, but that was many years ago.

    netcup Root Server just re-introduced traffic limits. Now its 3TB/24h and after that throttle to 300Mbps.

    There was no limit for couple of last weeks.
    Before that it was 2TB/24h and after that throttle to 200Mbps.
    Before that (until this year) it was 120TB/month and after that 200Mbps. I miss 120TB limit :'(

    Click on "details" on any RS server, you'll then see table on which you need to hover/click on "Traffic flat rate" and its mentioned there.

    I wonder if they change in this manner, the old limits for older plans, what will it be?

    And how do we know?

    Hello! I currently have two products on hand: the RS 1000 G9.5 SE VIE and the RS 2000 G11 SE VIE JA24 , which are both located in Vienna.

    The G9.5 series has, as you said, a high speed traffic of 120TB/month with a limit of 200Mbps after...
    I got an RS 2000 G11 SE VIE JA24 yesterday through someone else's transfer, and so far have used over 7TB of traffic (I'm running Private Tracker on it) but haven't received any speed limit alerts yet, not sure if that's a bug or not!

    It's worth noting that the G11 series seems to have reduced hard disk performance compared to the G9.5 series, I've clutched a review report on both machines on my personal blog, zhes.net, which you can refer to...

    I have no idea. I do not see where user even acknowledges this limitation when buying. It's not written in ToS.
    I remember one week ago this hover box said "Each server has unlimited traffic.", so they change it often. We may need to ask netcup for clarification, but it is wild that one of the most popular hosts at LET do not even have Host Rep here, while even bigass Hetzner or OVH has rep here (and we're like 0.0001% of customers to them).

  • I think it's just for excessive use cases, dont worry. I think it's only if you max out the line for 3 hours constantly.

  • @hapkido said: Anywhere we can see the bandwidth limits in our account for each plan?

    If you login to the Customer Control Panel and click on the specific product and go to the "Features" section, you'll see a little note for Traffic that explains the specific limits for the product.

    My server has this.

    Network traffic: If the average network traffic of the last 24 hours exceeds 1000 Mbit/s, a temporary throttling to 200 Mbit/s is applied

    I have been throttled for using less than 300 mbps while I was copying files. They keep changing the terms.

    For my 2 VPSs:
    Features
    Your product VPS nano G11s 1M offers the following features:

    Premium Funktionen (produktabhängig)
    Fernwartungskonsole:
    JA
    DVD-Laufwerk für eigene ISO-Dateien:
    JA
    Import von eigenen Images:
    JA
    Snapshots (Copy-On-Write):
    JA
    Leistungen
    Prozessor:
    2 vCore
    Arbeitsspeicher:
    2 GB
    Speicherplatz:
    60 GB SSD
    Netzwerkanbindung:
    1 GBit/s
    Traffic:
    Wenn der durchschnittliche Datenverkehr in den letzten 24 Stunden über 100 MBit/s liegt, erfolgt eine vorübergehende Drosselung auf 100 MBit/s
    Erweiterbar mit Local Block Storage:
    NEIN

    However on RS 1000 G11 that I ordered over the German site in August there isn't any mention for network or network traffic, I only see the specs and the object storage note. I ordered a normal RS 2000 G11 offer for a client (not a promotion one) from internal site. Here the specs are in English however no mention too for network.
