Netcup says they will limit to 10Mbps if usage is more than 80TB per month and sustained usage is more than 80mbps. However, 80mbps gives 25TB monthly usage. So, what gives?

Yes, netcup does charge German VAT to non-EU private persons, which some non-EU private persons may view as a negative point.

Or aren't they? Netcup is high up on my quality suppliers short list, regardless whether I need to pay VAT or not.

I think that it used to be the case that AES wasn't enabled by default on vServers, but netcup changed this policy at some point over the past year.

Netcup: VPS 1000 G7SEa1 - huh i guess its technically a vps but it's KVM, not sure where the difference is to the RS series.

Haven't used netcup, but hetzner has very poor overall connectivity, longest pings.

Do you have a Root-Server or a vServer at netcup? I've had a Root-Server since April, and both AES and AVX were enabled from the beginning -- I didn't need to ask.

One issue that I found weird is that Netcup is very selective about which CPU features they pass-through to their VMs, I had to beg support to enable AES-NI (which they did) but no-go for AVX. AES-NI

so if you need more disk IO than CPU , netcup would be good place to go.

I haven't tried the netcup rootservers but everyone says they're great. They are modern and have SSD and ECC memory. Overall though I mostly prefer being on baremetal hardware to be completely separ

some cpu features like vmx is not available in netcup "u need to pay more". like what Yura said vps ≠ dedicated.

IIRC the bandwith is way more restricted over at Hetzner than Netcup (30 vs. 80TB). I would assume if someone really needs a dedicated 1Gbps port you push way more than 30TB a month.

However, I just saw the latest Netcup Root-Server portfolio and there was the RS4000 G8 with 32GB Ram, 10 ded. cores and almost 1TB Hdd for 25€.

And yes it is hetzner not netcup, never even heard of the latter.

Yeah, people running into problems with Netcup usually just don't realize that a 1 month notice is needed. I am not a customer of theirs but it's been posted times and times again that canceling with

Are you sure you aren't mixing up Hetzner and Netcup here? Besides it's not really something about german law. It's just the way Netcups contracts are setup. You have to cancel them 1 month in advance
