in General

https://netcup.com/en/deals

Winter Sale: Discounts will be offered on Root Servers, VPS, web hosting, and domains from February 24th, 10 AM (CET) to February 27th, 10 AM (CET), set a reminder on your calendars. Lately their sales are pretty lacklustre, let's see what kind of deals they offer this time.

Shameless plug:
You can get 5€ off using coupon code: 36nc17507630500
This is an affiliate code, so please feel free to use others' codes if you prefer doing so :)

PS: Make sure to double check minimum contract period & billing period when buying Root Servers or VPS offerings

    What deals are expected?

    Ok.

    Double disk as always and maybe with monthly contract

  • nikionikio Member

    So aside from the referral spam, what is actually special about netcup?

    I've seen the ype threads but never figured it out. It feels like there are other providers in their same locations (Alwyzon/Hosthatch for Austria; practically everyone for Germany).

  • anakaraanakara Member

    It'll probably stay the same.

    The thing that is interesting to me is that the root servers are advertised as dedicated cores.

    Fair enough, dedicated cores are dedicated cores. If you don't need the full dedi server probably makes sense.

    Yeah, I understand. I'm saying that is the thing that differentiates them. If I needed a VPS, that would be something that might make me consider netcup.

    Maybe because Netcup is cheap and reliable

    Never had a problem with their uptime, performance and for me their network is pretty good. Decent lowish bigger provider for me which can be used for production

  • OpaqueRegistrantOpaqueRegistrant Member

    Usually when netcup hypes up these sales they end up being very lackluster in reality. 5% off on servers, 10% off on domains, etc. Let's see though.

    Many other providers are advertising price hikes and complaining about RAM and disk prices, so the usual offers with extra vCPU, RAM, and disk, plus a small discount, would be good enough for me.

    last time they said big sale they increased the disk and the RAM and AFAIK also the price :D

    Important information
    Unfortunately we have to cancel the planned Winter Sale at short notice. Our CEO Alexander Windbichler explains the background in detail in the netcup forum. Thank you for your understanding.

    Dear Community,

    many of you have already heard about the RAMpocalypse - it's the umbrella term for what is currently happening in the memory market (RAM, SSD, NVMe, ...).

    I'd be lying if I said this wasn't affecting us at netcup, and I'd like to give you a fully transparent update on where things stand - even though we don't have all the answers yet. The situation is evolving very quickly.

    What is certain: The Winter Sale that we were going to launch tomorrow morning and have been announcing over the past few days will not be happening.

    Here's where things stand:

    Back in October last year, we secured our orders for the first half of this year. You know that netcup thrives on delivering great quality at great prices. That's why we plan ahead and secure early. That's exactly why we ordered servers for the first half of the year well in advance. These servers are typically delivered in scheduled tranches so we receive continuous supply and avoid running out of stock. We are now at the end of February and neither the January nor the February tranches have been delivered to this day. The market is being bought out by large AI factories, and from today's perspective, this will continue for at least two years. The question right now isn't how you much we pay - it's whether you get supplied at all. This situation came very unexpectedly and on short notice for everyone. We only learned days ago that delivery would not happen, and we've been working on solutions ever since.

    We are currently in negotiations with all of our suppliers and unfortunately cannot share details at this point. What we can promise you: We are doing our absolute best to always offer you the best price-to-performance ratio - and we are fighting for it. At the same time, we want to remain able to deliver.

    What are we doing now:
    First and foremost, we are cancelling the announced sale - it would send the wrong signal. This situation affects the entire European hosting industry - major providers have already announced price increases for both new and existing customers. This doesn't just impact new systems, but also hardware renewals and replacements. It reverberates all the way through the datacenter.

    We know that some of you are frustrated and disappointed - we understand, because we're in the same boat.

    This is where things stand right now - fully transparent and unvarnished.

    We will do everything we can to keep the impact on you as small as possible - but realistically, there will be some impact.

    We'll keep fighting for the best prices and keep you updated as things develop - the situation is very dynamic and as soon as we have more concrete information, we'll be back with an update.

    Best regards,

    Oliver & Alex

    Guess no deal and waiting for the price increase notice and emails :) Their latest deals where pretty lame anyways, incresing prices and removing the month to month....

    Looks like I was wrong. Netcup DID follow suit by not following through with the deal. This also proves to me that increasing prices are on the way.

    These are not the signs of a stable provider that I expected. I expect them to follow suit now to as what Hetzner/OVH have done ie. increasing prices.

    That's incredibly sad personally because I was rooting for netcup after hetzner's increasing prices.

    Only thing that stopping me of pulling the trigger and moving away from Hetzner (given the price increase) is their horrendous price for local networking (VLAN GIGA). Basically - impossible to run Kubernetes cluster on multiple rootservers on VLAN Starter and you have to pay for 1gbps or 2.5gbps.

    How did the price competition between Netcup, Hetzner and OVH compare to each other until now?

    This really does not surprise me, it always seemed like their pricing was right on the edge of what could be considered sustainable and I expect to see their normal pricing rise pretty soon too.

    It always surprises me when I see companies still charging for this, especially just 1 gigabit, it's something I have always been happy to provision for free as otherwise customers are just going to figure out how to use the normal network port to do the same thing for free. But then if you look at how under-priced netcup's pricing is, it makes sense that they will nickel and dime to claw back some margin.

  • colonycolony Member

    This month's promotion seems to have been cancelled?

  • hyperblasthyperblast Member

    a lot of waffling from the ceo. perhaps they see the situation as an opportunity to simply rake in some cash. i am skeptical about this because i can't imagine that contracts in the industry can be broken so easily and that they would then try to blackmail their (long-standing) contractual partner...
