Hi, I know this topic already had some posts, but they are some time old, so I am starting another one…
Does anyone know if Netcup is worth it in 2023? Basically I have heard there are some issues with cancellations and such…
I want to move away from my Windows web hosting at another company, because I didn’t have enough possibilities… (Basically ASP.NET Core and PHP and that is it), but I want to try more stuff, so I though about moving to Netcup to a root server (Either 1000 or 2000 one).
What do you guys think, is it worth it? Any better alternatives for similar performance for the price? I am from Slovenia, and I am looking at a max budget of around 16€ after tax per month…
Edit: 2 additional questions…
Would I be still able to have the free SSL via Let’s encrypt?
Could I set up the right things to have a mail server set up, so it doesn’t go to spam?
IMHO with netcup you get a lot for your bucks. I’m running a RS2000 and I’m running a mail server on it. However, this was quite some work as some IP ranges may be burnt by spammers and you might need to deal with some DNS blocking lists to get yours removed. In the end it works fine if you do all the stuff with DKIM,DMARC, SPF etc. and have IPv6 configured for your MTA.
I run some of my servers on a linux VPS, with the cheapest tier having 2GB ram, 1 CPU core, 50GB storage and unlimited bandwith for rougly €5 per month. It satisfies all my needs since I tunnel most heavy duty to my homelab. The provider is called Vimexx.
And did you ever had any issues with them? Also do you happen to know… when they say cores do they really mean cores or are they threads… the root server with dedicated cores I am looking at says 6 or 4 for the cheaper
I’ve never had an issue so far. I think it’s a virtualized core, but it functions a fully working cpu with the loads i’ve thrown at it. I do run some light services only, but it works for me.
I used their 8GB Root server for a month a while back. I was happy with it :)
Great to know
