Netcup Gen 12.5 Infrastructure: Engineering Specifications

Why system architects and DevOps choose Netcup G12.5: verified benchmarks, dedicated execution threads, and enterprise-grade NVMe throughput.

AMD EPYC™ 9645 (Turin)Zen 5 • 4nm

Root Servers bind physical CPU execution threads directly to your VM. Zero time-sharing overhead, delivering consistent compute performance.

0.0% StealGuaranteed CPU Isolation
Enterprise NVMe RAIDPCIe Direct I/O

Local enterprise NVMe arrays delivering ~750 MB/s throughput, avoiding network-attached storage latency typical of Ceph clusters.

187.3k IOPSFIO 4K Random Mixed R/W
2.5 Gbit/s Port & UnmeteredFair-Use

Dedicated IPv4 and /64 IPv6 included. Unmetered bandwidth under fair use policy with zero per-gigabyte egress billing surprises.

€0 OverageZero Bill Shock
Two-Tier GovernanceCCP & SCP

Commercial tasks (invoices, cancellations, domains) inside CCP; hypervisor administration (HTML5 VNC, rescue, ISO, firewall) strictly inside SCP.

Which category fits?

Root servers offer dedicated EPYC cores and full control. VPS is cheaper but shares cores. Web hosting handles Plesk, mail and domains. vGPU servers provide NVIDIA H200 slices for local AI.

  • Docker, databases, CI/CD: root server or VPS.
  • Websites, mail, small shops: web hosting.
  • Local LLMs, image generation: vGPU.
  • VPN, bots, small services: VPS 500/1000.

Root server vs VPS

Root servers guarantee dedicated cores and 0.0% CPU steal in our measurements. VPS uses shared vCPUs: cheaper, but less predictable under neighbour load. For production databases and CI/CD, the root server is the safer choice.

Web hosting vs your own server

Web hosting is managed: Plesk, mail, SSL and backups are included. A own server is more flexible but requires administration, updates and security. For WordPress and classic business sites, web hosting is usually the faster start.

GPU and vGPU

Netcup vGPU servers split an NVIDIA H200 into 7 GB or 14 GB slices. They fit 8B–14B models and hybrid offload; 70B models need a lot of RAM (RS 8000) or multiple GPUs.

Frequently asked questions

Which server for Docker and Coolify?

For production Docker stacks, we recommend a root server with dedicated cores (RS 1000 or RS 2000). A VPS 1000 is enough for small test environments.

What is the difference between a root server and a VPS?

Root servers guarantee dedicated CPU threads; VPS shares cores via KVM. In our YABS runs, root server CPU steal is 0.0%, while VPS can fluctuate under neighbour load.

Does the voucher apply to every server?

No. Vouchers do not apply to domains, VPS ARM, VPS Lite and merchandise. Check the code in the cart; only one voucher can be redeemed per order.
