is AX162 from Hetzner good?

I'm launching a website hosting business and need to choose a dedicated server for shared hosting. The server should be capable of handling at least 150 cPanel accounts while running weekly backups efficiently.
What hardware specifications would you recommend for optimal performance and reliability?
also how much storage and ram i would need as if i bought a 2x4TB NVMe raid1 and 2x22TB HDD raid1 for backup i won't be able add any further disks
is that space enough?

AX162 is nothing compared against the dedi's of mzunguhosting.ml, you will get a better price there
AX52 should be enought.
How would we know?
You can start with a server from their auction section such as:
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
RAM 128 GB
Drives 2 x 3.84 TB Datacenter SSD
If you really do expect high load from the start and this is serious I'd consider OVH with their vRacks. Makes it possible to migrate sites around dedicated servers and shuffle IPs around like there's no tomorrow.
I'd recommend France locations as IPs in a vRack are able to be used across DC's there if I remember correctly.
i don't except load at start but my point is that i need to have stable infrastructure as much as possible with less migrations
as you might know not always people use my nameservers they might use cloudflare or external dns server
so changing the ip each 4 months isn't a good idea as of my knowledge also having a small server would would make me pay so much for the licenses as the only near option to 30 account is 100 account for cpanel as an example
Could always do with a reseller at @NameCrane and then if it works out well, do my thing with vRacks at OVH, you don’t even have to migrate people over, you can just do it for new deployments
So you’re not stuck with large monthly costs if it doesn’t work out
AX162 can handles thousands of cPanel accounts / websites. Even something like AX52 or their 5950X auction servers should have no issue with over 500, of course depending on the size of the websites.
For reference, I know both I and Namecrane utilize AMD Ryzen 7900 in multiple systems and some DirectAdmin nodes run 1000+ accounts and load is still quite low.
As long as the system is properly optimized it is incredible how much modern systems can handle without breaking a sweat.
correct me if i'm wrong in my way of calculating
yes but the server is 48 core with 2.75 GHz which means total 132 GHz if we assumed the systems would take around 2 GHz there will be 130 GHz for 130 account each account 1 GHz
which means as processing it's limited in this way
