LF VPS in Germany (not clickbait!!!)

Hi folks,
I have a German shaped VPS hole in my heart that I'm looking to fill
Will be hosting a quaint little DNS over HTTPS server so I'd love some suggestions for anything "high" performance with a nice network backboner
Specs that make me cream:
CPU: 2vCPU (pref goes to higher performance models)
RAM: 2GB
SSD: 15GB-20GB
Bandwidth: 1-2TB (juice me up with 5+ if you want to guarantee a renewal end of term)
Budget is flexible but you all know this is LET so my max is essentially 30 euro per year (-10 points for hosts who charge VAT to non EU customers)
I also can't use Hetzner (I won't tag them this time, you're welcome Katie) for various reasons mainly the permanent fraud check on my ass for accidentally ordering with a colocrossing IP address years ago & something about German ingenuity.

mods please ban this guy for 300 years for making my eyes hurt
I recommend Contabo as a VPS because it offers unbeatable value for the price—starting at just a few bucks a month, you get solid performance with generous resources like ample RAM, CPU cores, and fast SSD storage. It’s reliable, with great uptime, and super easy to scale as your needs grow. Plus, their customer support is quick and helpful, and with data centers worldwide, you can keep latency low. It’s a no-brainer for anyone wanting a budget-friendly yet powerful VPS!
CockHost and HostCock (which you own) are happy to accommodate you in one of our German DCs.
But your fraud score is too high so we will need a full KYC including but not limited to a full medical record, an astrology compatibility report (we don't sell to Libras), a sworn statement that you will not ddr ignor our servers, a full tax return of the year 2021, etc...

2c2g might be a bit difficult to recommend
if you're okay with 1c2g then I perhaps have a few (ofc not old xeons)
Yeah I'll take any recommendations, I have some servers running on 1c2gb I just like the extra head room and when providers see that 2nd vcore in the specs they know I mean business
edit: also know of the hostbrr deal right now but i'm not sure if they're a hetzner reseller and i'm trying to avoid anything from big red
if 1tb bw is okay get @ComputeBox nano
https://computebox.de/#pricing
It's Turin, better than 8 e5 vcpus
they joined January 2nd and have 20 comments + it's also $10 above my hopeful budget
I avoided them for a reason
Yeah fair
honestly i got one and its straight up incredible. i'd like to know more about the literal person behind it all though instead of them just saying we over and over again.
@Decicus also got one of the 6gb ones and he says it's great
i'm sure performance would be nice on a Turin core - but I'm not willing to buy from some provider that showed up on the forum 2 months ago
Too many 16 year old discord hetzner reseller hosts on LET it's not worth it anymore
Recommend Netcup Nano
2 cores, 2 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD, unlimited BW (1 Gbps then throttled to 100 Mbps)
€20.16 per year
https://www.netcup.com/de/server/vps/vps-nano-g11s-6m
i meannnn its so cheap that you could go month to month. they have their own AS and showed DC pics so i bit on it. i have nightly backups. usually the true bullshit fraud hosts don't ever own their equipment...so they have that going for them. they did say their DDOS protection is upstream and sounds to be just like null routing so nothing impressive there. otherwise...why not
The deal they're currently running is under dataforest
ping me:
de1.eu.node.cdn-perfprod.comshameless affiliated link | non-affiliated (use code MINIMADNESS2025 for that sweet discount)
Don't expect flawless support from them, tho. Had a ticket pending for months, and my PTR record request has also been pending for months. Besides that, they're solid.
@nohavps has nodes in Frankfurt (I personally have it in AMD EPYC 7742 but perhaps they also have Ryzens), they've been rock solid so far (and I reeeally love the network they use)
I would ask for a custom deal, they can surely accommodate your needs. I'm sure you already know about their recent drama tho, so at your own risk, but I don't really care personally lol.
And of course, the OG GreenCloud
https://greencloudvps.com/billing/store/budget-kvm-sale/budgetkvmde-2
ah yeah this too. i have one of these also for monitoring. incredible price
I've gotten a custom from them before in Utah so I'll reach out and see if I can get another
@haodo @NDTN what are you chances you slyly add a EPYCDEVF-2 into my account at $25 per year renewal and we call it a day?
thanks tho brothaman @zGato
Okay, but suppose I happen to be browsing
www.netcup.com/en, how would I reach, click by click, that one VPS offer, on the English website?Come on, someone solves the maze.
I know zGato already answered but HostBrr does both Hetzner and dataforest (the latter being colo AFAIK). Just check the city. Falkenstein or Helsinki (FI) is Hetzner, but Frankfurt is dataforest.

Hey there,
just checking in before going to bed. But the we is on purpose and no pretending of being a team. In general we are 3 people behind ComputeBox with different degrees such as Bachelor of Science or IT Specialist (Fachinformatiker in German).
I can assure u that we are not reselling hetzner. But I can understand your skepticism, but the length of membership at LET alone wouldn’t be the only relevant factor in assessing credibility.
idk use this guys table https://netcup.gifts/lee/docs/netcup/the-most-affordable-netcup-server
That's awesome to know @ComputeBox . I suggest, by my own opinion, be more personable and show the faces (or just names) behind the company and people will be less quick to be afraid of being scammed. It is a degree of connection that I personally value -- for instance @RoyaleHosting CEO Stan or @jar from mxroute seriously draw me in to what they offer because this is not just a brand speaking but it is a person connecting with their customers to showcase the awesome things they do -- they even both have a Discord. Your website is very cool and well designed, but what does it really say about you?
The providers, who are not large businesses (netcup, hetzner, others), who hide behind their brand names (maybe sometimes not intentionally but usually intentional) are often seen as super sketchy here, because they usually are and they just up and "deadpool" without warning. It is often a genuine concern here.
so... no de_deadpool2 deals then?
Hello,
Thank you for recommending us. We have a location in Germany.
We will be upgrading our previous RYZEN 7950X3D-AMD EPYC 7742 nodes to AMD RYZEN 9950X in the coming days.
If you are interested in a plan, please don't hesitate to contact us.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
yes i have a question sir,
whats the best yearly price you can give me for 2vCPU, 2GB ram, 20GB SSD and 1-2TB of BW
We can leave it at $45.00 per year (AMD RYZEN 9950X)
Give the man $30/yr and you got a sale.
@nohavps i appreciate the effort but this man knows me too well
make it a flat $30 and we can make this love hate relationship into a blossoming future
please dont shoot me
