Seems quite cheap - esp with the 2 dedi cores. Depending on interpretation of the dedi part I guess...like if you cant run them 100% that's amazing value
Vcores but still very good. Thing is when I need more cpu than a typical decent vps gives, I want lots of cores and usually lots of disk space (like TB's). So I'm still happiest with a cheap dedi. It would be interesting to figure out some kind of product that allowed prolonged bursting at high core count but was much cheaper per month than high end cloud servers.

How does this offer compare to their regular NVMe/ Xeon Gold servers?
Different term (3 month, not 1), worse CPU and much worse i/o. Similar good network and support responsiveness. And ofc the price is lower.
Bear in mind that the immediately advertised monthly prices for their regular servers are for a contract of 12 months. If you want the freedom of a contract for one month, then the monthly prices are (mostly) one euro higher.
So, for example, vServer S SSD G3 costs 7,99 € / month for a contract of 12 months and costs 8,99 € / month for a contract of one month.

Do you really get faster replies from them? My experience contacting their support has NOT been great. Waited for at least 20hrs (more or less) to get a reply from them.

My experience with their support has also been positive, but I could imagine that if one contacts them about a non-urgent issue on a weekend or holiday, then it may take them a day or more to reply.

If I recall well, early last autumn, they raised the raised the prices to these, and then they reduced them by crossing out the raised prices. As far as I can remember, these prices are the raised prices from early last autumn.

I'm not really happy with the VM, it feels pretty slow overall.

You right! I made a bad decision when going with this provider. Leaving it idle until expired.
Me too, really disappointed!
Guys, I understand, but at the same time, bear in mind that this is older-generation equipment. I think that this offer is/was comparable to their offer at the end of October ( their "Schnupperspecial": https://php-friends.de/vserver-ssd/vserver-schnupperspecial-2019-ssd-g2 ). You get an older-generation VPS with very decent specs for a very decent price. No, it's not a Xeon Gold, nor is it NVMe, but these wouldn't have been offered at this price.
(In any case, the offer is now over!)

I'm surprised people are complaining about this, since it got good reports on the other forum, and is comparably priced and spec'd to a similar Netcup product that is well regarded, I think. I might be confused though. 10GB of ram is a lot.
Well, the complaint about this vps is slow cpu and i/o. That's the part that I was a bit surprised by. Though yeah, 10gb of ram etc. at 6.5e/m is hard to expect much from.

The problem is that people are suddenly no longer content with an Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 / v4. They want a Xeon Gold, or if possible, a Ryzen or Epyc. And they want this at a bargain price.
In addition, plain SSD is no longer good enough -- everyone wants NVMe. And at a bargain price.
I have PHP-Friends' Schnupperspecial (from October; I gave the old link above), and beyond a couple of network incidents, I've been very pleased with it.

Me too, it’s one of the most consistent vm’s I’ve got. Rock solid. I’ve had some problems with it though, low IO and lots of steal time. Sent them an email and Tim migrated me to another server. Problem solved. Probably some very noisy neighbors on my first node.
I think most people don’t realize that those Ryzen ‘fair share’ cpu with high clock speeds, NVMe and a bit of RAM cater a different part of the market. Especially when the provider offers them on leased hardware. Looks good on benches though.

The moment when 80% of these people will find out that they'd be just fine with a normal SSD and that good old E5
My last VPS was a NAT VPS and I could still do a lot on it. That E5 can't be so bad, really. But that LE spirit kinda got lost along the way I fear. Well, it was kept for budget prices but that's it.
I see, the Netcup root servers use Xeon Gold 6140/6230, though I wonder how much real speed difference there is from the E5 v3/v4 for most apps. The cpu frequency is similar.

Shit. I kinda want this. I have no use for it, but that's.. nice.

Not ok yet , hopefully sorted soon fingers crossed.

Decent geekbench4 of about 4400 (4900 when new). Recommended.
Btw are their special deals transferrable?

Pretty much the only thing making the offer worth it imo. If you want it really decent, go with their G3 for +2,50€/M.
Has anyone bought it and can provide a benchmark? Would be nice.. Preferably yabs.sh ^^
Ugh, they just increased the prices for their G3 servers.

Not everyone need's that amount of RAM.

Got the schnupperspecial which is excellent for the price.
Problem with CPU is that it's not really dedicated. Compute power drops over time as it gets more crowded. So it's more like unlimited boost use.
I/O wise the node I'm on has been consistently superb.
In my experience with various Gold vpses the I/O seem to be much better.
However all pale in comparison with new ryzens/epycs.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
