Thread merged, you guys are quick and almost posted at the same time.
EDIT: Can confirm both are posted at same time
3 months of "free" cpu mining, sadly crypto currency is fucked these days.
and forbidden by their tos. also you won't get out of the contract just after the 3 free month.
Well, these cores are dedicated, you could even compile stuff.
There is no difference in-between, also yes the contract is 6 months, still 3 "free" months of "mining".
This is scam, why would they care if your "Kerne" are "dedizierte"? This proves they are not.
they forgot the
in the description. Happens to the best of us.
Even with dedicated cores, there are certain resources that need to be shared, such as the CPU cache.
Especially each provider can decide for himself what he allows and what he dosn't allow, which has nothing to do with fraud.
Their cores are really dedicated. I used to use for days my cpu cores almost at 100% for transcoding video and did not have a single issue or complain from them.
That website reminds me of 2008 and templatemonster
I think it's more likely threads rather than cores but yes. usually their systems are balanced enough that you won't see a difference. most people probably don't really need or use much of their "dedicated" whatsoever.
only "free" if you have a good use for the other
39 paid month then, no?for compiling vs mining the difference is, that they explicitly forbid the latter in their tos, regardless of cpu usage at all.
true, you might go ahead and risk it - let's see how long it takes to the first complaints about being bootet by netcup after a week and have a collection agency send after to collect the money for the
39 months that are not free...Remember the contract is for 12 months (3 months free, so you pay for 9 months) but the billing cycle is once every 6 months.
So I think you pay upfront for the 1st 6 months (3 months amount) and then you'll get another invoice for the next 6 months (fully 6 months amount).
Irrespective you will have to pay for a total of 9 months to fulfill your obligations to Netcup per the contract.
very true. I didn't look at it again, so just thought @Neoon had properly looked at it. going to correct my post then...
Oh, well, my bad then.
Its 12 months, instead of just 6 months billing period.
Thats like getting married, better not.
Yes, it's threads (I asked them in the past), not whole core. But again, dedicated threads, much better than "vcores" that you don't really know what exactly do you get...
If you get married, 6 months vs 12 months is nothing, believe me
The New Year's special was the same in specs but with the possibility of 480 GB SAS. In my view, it was also better in price (10,99€/m, contract for 1 month):
https://www.netcup.de/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2330
That was better. Maybe they will bring something else out in a few weeks as they've been quiet since the New Year.
Yeah, I imagine that there will be a couple of nice Easter specials.
This comes to 9.75€/m spread over 12 months, pretty good, an attractive alternative to a small dedi for a long term service. As a project-oriented VM, unless you really need the dedicated cores, the product is comparable to brand H's 16gb instance which is 16€/m but has 160gb of ssd space and is hourly billed.
Is supplemental disk space available?
Also, you need "2" of them.
Absolutely! The illustrated posting above should be read with an evil voice just like:
Anführungszeichen! They forgot the ANFÜHRUNGSZEICHEN!
I once mined crypto on my cpu back in 2015. Monero (original) was the coin name. I had it on for a while, but my CPU had no cooler and was running at a constant max temp. A week later or so it just broke down
. Luckely, a couple of years later, my 0.27USD coin went up to 300USD so I guess my dead CPU did a good job anyways 
as long as you have good cooling the CPU will be fine I think, but I believe it does wear out faster than normal.
You mined crypto on your netcup Root-Server cpu back in 2015? (You're aware that this thread is about an offer from netcup, right?)
Netcup will refresh their website at Q2 2019. Also they will refresh their Root Server Line with new features, and with a totally new products. As i saw they will rethink their all products with another prices to provide more quality . Or something similar.
Hope they rethink the billing as well. Just saying.
