When to Choose This Plan (Pros & Trade-offs)
Strengths
- Lowest entry price in the entire netcup catalog (€1.86/mo net at 0% VAT) with a dedicated IPv4 + /64 IPv6 subnet
- Full KVM kernel isolation — runs WireGuard, Caddy/Nginx reverse proxy, Uptime Kuma or DNS resolvers cleanly
- Unmetered flat-rate traffic with €0.00 setup fee and 2 Tbps DDoS protection
- Full SCP access including snapshots, VNC console and reinstall images
Trade-offs to Know
- Excluded from all netcup vouchers (including the €5 new-customer voucher) and requires a 12-month billing commitment
- 1 GB RAM requires lightweight services or 1 GB zram/swap tuning to prevent OOM during package upgrades
- 1 Gbit/s shared port and European data center assignment only

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 2 TB/24h unthrottled budget before the 200 Mbit/s shaping threshold):
# 1. Verify CPU model (allocated KVM vCores) 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)
