How's their webhosting lineup? Some offers seems pretty attractive with the included domains and support for Python. Can I run e.g. Django/Flask with it?
TL;DR: I tried their web hosting (and "hourly billed VMs") once and wasn't satisfied. Not due to performance, though.
They had some annoying issues such as not being able to register with them if your domains' nameservers are not showing to them.
This is a pita, because in order to avoid downtime, I usually transfer sites by just editing my Hosts file accordingly and only when everything has been moved AND works, I'll update the nameservers. There were some other things, but the takeaway, just like my experiences with their "hourly billing", is that they probably offer great performance and specs for an amazing price, but there were just some things I was getting annoyed of (also no "free" backups for shared hosting and you can't just restore with 1 click; for Shared Hosting I would only choose providers that at least include weekly backups). At the end of the day, they are great for what they are, just not my cup of tea. I really want to like them, but can't bring myself to do so. As long as there are enough good alternatives out there, I'll dodge them.
It's funny: I was thinking of your view (which I know ) when I wrote the second paragraph of my post immediately following yours

Yup, that seems to be the case on my testing as well. They seem to have their own set of relaying IPs which works pretty well. However it seems like they have separate instances for email, which means you either have to get SSL certs manually (no Let's Encrypt), or use their domains for MX/Webmail

At least for now, I decided to go with the flow and to use their domains for MX and Webmail. In this case, Let's Encrypt isn't an issue

Haha yeah. You know, I'd love to like them. But somehow it just never worked out. Good to hear you're happy with Web 1000 for email, though

How is their root server performance? Is it better than ksle?
KS LE was E5-1620 or so, right? afaik that's somewhere in the range 850/3500 GB5 , so I'd say with a netcup root server 4 core you'd be in about that same range performance wise, maybe a tad lower. 6 or even 8 cores should yield better multicore already.
for disk it obivously does not make much sense to compare, because kimsufi is larger HDD whereas netcup is speedier ssd.
not to speak of shitty 100 Mbit network with kimsufi... so for my use cases I'd always pick a RS 2000 over that KS LE.

What's netcup policy about torrenting ?
Just don't
Or just spin up the bithex rtorrentvpn docker container, connect it with your vpn provider and torrent without problems - killswitch included even at netcup or other german hosts

Just noticed that they doubled pricing for the high end root servers. They still are one of the best providers around according to my experience.
I wouldn't say doubled, a little bump for the new G9.5 line with a little bump in specs

Fill free, was doing that for a long-long time. But were using only semi/private torrent trackers

I actually got a plan, and it seems like as long as I set the A record correctly, it works fine

It's really good for email, I would say.

If want to enjoy the speed, I prefer netcup, the performance is not worse than ksle, or even better than it.

I hope that this doesn't count as a necro, but I just wanted to share my netcup cup, which arrived today:
The three sweets were in the cup, which was a nice touch
