[REQUEST] 10Gbps dedicated in Germany or SE/Central Europe – 100TB+/mo – up to €150

Hi all,
I'm looking for a dedicated server in Europe, ideally as close to Turkey/Istanbul as possible (low latency to TR matters most).
Preferred locations:
- Germany (Frankfurt preferred, any German DC is fine)
- Bulgaria (Sofia), Romania (Bucharest), Greece
- Austria (Vienna), Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia
- Netherlands also OK if the price/traffic is clearly better
Network – the important part:
- 10Gbps port (shared is OK if you're honest about real sustained capacity)
- At least 100TB/month included (unmetered even better)
- Please state clearly: is traffic counted in+out or outbound only, and what happens above the limit (throttle / €/TB / suspension)?
- Good routing to Turkish ISPs (Türk Telekom, Turkcell Superonline, Vodafone TR). A test IP / looking glass is a big plus.
Use case:
Private media streaming (Plex/Jellyfin) for a small user base, Usenet downloads, and a few web apps/APIs (Next.js, Docker).
Traffic is sustained outbound streaming, not bursty. Some clients will need on-the-fly transcoding (older TVs, browsers, subtitle burn-in).
No public file hosting, no torrent tracker. Please confirm this is OK under your AUP.
Hardware:
Must have:
- CPU: 8+ cores, reasonably modern (Xeon E-2xxx / Ryzen / EPYC / E5 v4 also fine)
- RAM: 64GB+
- Storage: 2TB+ NVMe/SSD
- 1x IPv4, monthly billing, no long contract
Nice to have:
- Strong plus: Intel CPU with iGPU / Quick Sync for hardware transcoding (e.g. E-2288G, E-2388G, i7/i9 desktop) – offers with Quick Sync will be preferred
- If no iGPU: a strong CPU (16+ cores) so software transcoding is not a bottleneck
- 128GB RAM
- Extra HDD for cache/storage
- IPMI/KVM, IPv6
- Low or no setup fee, a trial or a refund window
Budget:
Up to €150/month all-in (lower is better – best value per € wins). Around €100 for a solid offer would be ideal; I'll go up to €150 for Quick Sync, 128GB RAM or a very good location/route to Turkey.
Please include in your reply:
- Location + datacenter
- Full specs and price (any setup fee, VAT handling for a non-EU customer)
- Exact traffic terms (TB included, in/out accounting, overage policy)
- Test IP / looking glass
- Payment methods
Thanks in advance!
