Preface#

With Black Friday arriving, Hostbrr, which has been quiet for half a year, is back with new promotions: AMD Threadripper 9995WX Pro, AMD EPYC 9655, a €7 StorageBox, and block storage at €1/TB. HostBrr is a German provider focused on high cost‑performance and cheap storage. The hardware isn’t top‑tier, but the pricing is very attractive. Support is quite slow, as it’s basically just the owner handling tickets. Most of the hardware comes from DataForest’s DuFu, with fairly frequent refreshes. The €7/year 500 GB StorageBox is quite nice for off‑site backups.

In comparison, it’s still not as strong as the 9950X, but it has more cores, which helps avoid the heavy overselling seen on 9950X nodes (though ultimately it all depends on the provider’s conscience).

In terms of CPUs, the hierarchy is 9950X > 9995WX > 9655. Choose your package based on your own needs. There are network issues on these machines: during high‑traffic tests the connection may drop entirely. My guess is this is caused by the datacenter’s DDoS firewall policy. Many people on LowEndTalk have reported the same, so be cautious if you need sustained large‑volume traffic.
