Got my first NetCup VPS: VPS 1000 G11 in Germany, 5.75 EUR Black Friday offer.
YABS:
Disk and network are really good. Hope they stay fast.
Now I need to figure out how to change the system language to English (
apt installis printing messages in German).# export LANG="en_us.UTF-8"Thanks. I just reinstalled the OS (needed Ubuntu) and they had an option to set the locale while reinstalling. The control panel looks like it was designed in 2005.
YABS for RS 1000 G11 iv SE in Vienna for reference, US was either sold out or had some issues, continuously got error while adding to cart
since its foundation Netcup in 2008
netcup.com -> 403 Forbidden
Is it down or just me?
I usually set the default system language with:
dpkg-reconfigure localesIn the first dialog, deselect 'de_DE.UTF-8', keep 'en_US.UTF-8' or replace it with your preferred locale. In the second dialog, choose your default locale. Then log out of your shell, only a new one will use the new default.

You can set locale in the server install settings (server control panel -> Media -> Images tab -> select OS)
I also recommend using Ansible to automate usual changes you make post-install
Did you format your drive before reinstalling Ubuntu?
Yeah that's what I did. Installed Ubuntu 24.04.
Currently have a long shell script that installs various things and writes config files.
I just went to the Images section and installed Ubuntu. The benchmark was run on the default Debian install.
For a moment I thought they blocked me for refreshing the Black Friday page too fast
What is the network bandwidth limit for root servers?
It is 2.5 gbps with the following:
If the traffic exceeds 3 TB in the last 24 hours, a temporarly throttling to 300 Mbit/s takes place. The throttling is lifted as soon the condition is no longer applies.
FYI all, Manassas RS 1000 seems to be available.
I just bought one cancelling my Vienna one, with satisfaction guarantee option
You need to select the US option and and wait for few seconds before order button turns from out of stock to add to cart
Picked one up!
With Root Servers is it okay to use 100% of the CPU all day? (My use is probably just a couple of hours of 100% CPU a day, but just asking)
Yes.
Just noticed that the netcup email with the login details to my new server went into Gmail spam
I see it mentioned for vps but not for root servers.
Also, Is this a new thing? Old vps didn't have this and we're 80tb monthly
See this page:
https://www.netcup.com/en/server/root-server
VPSs are 2TB/200 Mbit/s, root servers are 3TB/300 Mbit/s.
I don't know if it is a new limit.
Yeah, this came few months ago. Older VPSes aren't as powerful than the current line but less limits on the way you can (ab)use the network.
Netcup is generally great for the price. I would get rid of alot of stuff myself and move it all to netcup if they would just enable virtualization, so i can run proxmox on their servers. But.....
Anyone interested to transfer rootserver 4core package?

Guten Tag,
vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.
Ein nachträglicher Standortswechsel ist aus technischen Gründen nicht möglich.
They only responded today, now I know that the support service doesn't work quickly and there's no way to track the ticket number
I think they ran away with my 1 euro
I cancelled selecting pro-rata refund but no refund whatsoever but the server is cancelled. No response on support tickets as well
