Looking for Feedback on those EU Providers
I want a Ryzen VPS. Based on my research, I have 2 potential candidates.
I like their mid-tier offers. On paper they seem pretty similar. But they could be more explicit.
- Since its omitted, and based on pricing, should I assume those are shared and not dedicated vCPUs?
- If you're a client, what your experience been like? (steal time?, overprovisioning?) I've seen a couple of YABS here and there.
- If you know any other provider with similar/better specs, please share them

Can recommend Nexo.
Nice guy, stable service and the performance is pretty good for the price.
Never assume. If in doubt, contact the provider and ask. This saves your time and potential for disappointment (as well as the providers), and is helpful in other ways - for example, it allows you to make sure "someone is home".
Sometimes, things that might be considered obvious to a provider isn't obvious to customers, and indeed, vice-versa.
On a general level i agree but in relation vCores not advertised as dedicated there's seriously very little question i regards to them being shared when it comes to the average VPS offer.
Yea, if someone offers you dedicated cores, they will tell you for sure.
Also, the combination of price and the fact that they offer "vCores" leaves very little room for assumptions.
I currently have a cheap IPv6-only Easter deal from Bero. I don't use it for much, though. I use Beszel to track my vpses and idk how accurate the readings are, but the highest steal % it's shown is 3%, which only lasted a couple of minutes.
I would keep in mind that the CPU I was given doesn't match their site, which lists EPYC 7443Ps, but that could be down to me getting it as part of the Easter deal.

Btw on that topic. When they advertise "X vCpus" (like Hetzner for ex.), is there an architectural difference compared to cores or its just a marketing buzzword / misnomer?
It's neither. Just a different term with the same meaning. Well, usually in that context at least. Core is probably closer to what's actually being emulated but well...
If you want to get into seriously messy territory take a look at dedicated cores, which are usually really threads (unless the host system - for whatever reason - doesn't do hyperthreading).
