Indeed, netcup seems to be exceptional in this respect, and I can understand how a non-EU private customer wouldn't be so pleased about this.

Scaleway, etc. doesn't charge any (0% VAT), but Netcup charges 19% German VAT.

I can't speak about @darkimmortal's experience, but plenty of people use netcup for production websites

In my experience on this spec at Netcup it runs great, some variance in disk speed between instances (consistent 200MB/s sequential vs consistent 600)

Yeah their peering not greatest, i had nforce, leaseweb dedis 1gbit in amsterdam, also ovh in france 10gbit/1gbit, and it blew netcup out of water, but it was also 60-110e/month dedis, vs 11e/month vp

I don't use netcup at all because they force non residents to pay VAT as well

A lot of German providers do this, it's not really that new. Hetzner & NetCup both require a photo of your ID and maybe proof of residence to prevent fraud.

Yo, any news on Netcup Root Server 10 Gen. Its 2 year already since 9 gen

+1 for netcup

Netcup

Netcup Root server: 19.8k

Contabo has some limits on the disk speed and the network is 200mbps only. Netcup is better but their contracts sucks.
