When to Choose This Plan (Pros & Trade-offs)
Strengths
- Dedicated physical AMD EPYC 9645 (Turin) cores — no CPU steal from neighbours under sustained load
- Fast NVMe SSD storage and DDR5 ECC RAM with a 2.5 Gbit/s network interface
- Includes 99.9% annual availability guarantee and 30-day satisfaction guarantee (first orders)
- 2 Tbps Anexia DDoS protection, /64 IPv6 subnet, 1 IPv4 and SCP snapshots/VNC/API included
Trade-offs to Know
- Best pricing requires a 12- or 24-month contract commitment (31-day cancellation notice period)
- Selecting a fixed data center (Nuremberg, Vienna, Manassas or Singapore) adds a monthly surcharge over "No preference Europe"
- Port throttles to 300 Mbit/s if traffic exceeds 3 TB within a rolling 24-hour window

RS 1000 G12.5 Workload Sizing, Database Memory Budget & First-Boot CLI
Concrete resource allocation and configuration parameters tailored to 4 dedicated AMD EPYC 9645 cores + 8 GB DDR5 ECC RAM + 128 GB NVMe:
| Subsystem / Stack | RAM Budget | Recommended Configuration Parameters |
|---|
| Linux kernel, systemd & journald | 0.5 GB | SystemMaxUse=200M in /etc/systemd/journald.conf |
| PostgreSQL 17 / MariaDB | 2.4 GB | shared_buffers = 2048MB · effective_cache_size = 5120MB · work_mem = 16MB · maintenance_work_mem = 512MB · max_worker_processes = 4 |
| Redis / Valkey cache | 0.8 GB | maxmemory 816mb · maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru |
| Docker containers / App workers | 3.6 GB | Comfortably runs 8–20 active containers or 32 concurrent PHP-FPM / Node / Go workers |
| OS page cache & burst headroom | 0.7 GB | vm.swappiness = 10 in /etc/sysctl.d/99-tuning.conf |
| Disk & SCP snapshot reserve (128 GB) | ~109 GB usable | SCP requires at least 10% free space (13 GB) to create online/offline snapshots |
First-Boot Hardware Verification & Benchmark Commands
Run these commands after provisioning to verify CPU allocation, steal time (%st), /64 IPv6 routing via fe80::1, and disk IOPS (passing -i to YABS skips the multi-gigabyte iperf3 transfer so you do not burn your 3 TB/24h unthrottled budget before the 300 Mbit/s shaping threshold):
# 1. Verify CPU model (AMD EPYC 9645 Turin) and topology
lscpu | grep -E "Model name|Socket|Thread|NUMA|CPU\(s\):"
# 2. Check CPU steal time (%st column; should remain 0.0 on dedicated Root Server cores)
vmstat 1 5
# 3. Verify /64 IPv6 subnet and netcup's fe80::1 link-local gateway
ip -6 addr show dev eth0 && ip -6 route show default
ping6 -c 4 2606:4700:4700::1111
# 4. Run YABS fio 4k/64k disk + Geekbench 6 benchmark without iperf3 (-i)
curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -i
Data Center Locations & Monthly Surcharges
Selecting “No preference Europe” places your server in Nuremberg (DE), Vienna (AT) or Amsterdam (NL) for €0 extra. Locking a specific city adds a monthly surcharge:
| Data center location | Monthly surcharge (0% VAT) |
|---|
| No preference Europe (AT, DE or NL) | €0.00 |
| Nuremberg, Germany | +€2.34 |
| Vienna, Austria | +€2.34 |
| Manassas, USA | +€2.34 |
| Singapore | +€13.08 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stack the RS 1000 G12.5 voucher with the new-customer voucher?
No — netcup’s shopping cart accepts strictly one voucher per order. Because the RS 1000 G12.5 voucher saves €36.52 at 0% VAT (more than the €4.20 net / €5.00 gross new-customer code), use the product code.
Does this RS 1000 G12.5 voucher work for existing netcup customers?
Yes. According to the upstream voucher rules, both new and existing customers can redeem this product voucher.
What if netcup says “voucher already redeemed”?
Product-specific codes are single-use tokens. Expand “Backup codes” on the voucher card above and copy the next code (#2–#5); redeemed codes are automatically rotated out of the pool.
Does the RS 1000 G12.5 renewal price increase after the first contract term?
No. netcup does not use introductory renewal hikes: your contract renews at the same base tariff, and Webhosting percentage vouchers apply recurringly.
