netcup root servers

German host with dedicated EPYC cores on its root servers, in Germany, Austria, the US and Singapore.

A fit for buyers who want dedicated AMD EPYC cores cheaply and can commit for a year or two, since 12- and 24-month terms cut 13% and 26%. Locations include Manassas in the US and Singapore alongside Nuremberg and Vienna, and ownership by the Austrian Anexia group places it under Austrian jurisdiction. The main gap is traffic: the terms weren't on the pricing page, so the $0 egress modelled here rests on netcup historically not limiting it.
