I got one of these in Manassas, VA. Or . . . maybe I did. The order is pending review.
There was a $5 coupon that I got a week or so ago, and the coupon was accepted. Yes, 5 US dollar coupon but price is in Euros. So the coupon, as redeemed, was a little less than 5 Euros.
Finally I am getting my Black Friday stuff, quite late!
I did the same. It says Germany guaranteed but allows US to be selected. Also my order is pending and the price was €0
I received multiple emails from Netcup acknowledging my order for an ARM VPS in Manassas, providing panel login details, providing a bill, and asking for identity verification. I did the identity verification by "advance payment" of the balance due. I received an email from my credit card issuer saying that payment had been made.
Then. . . .
I've seen mention that Netcup has so many new orders and that provisioning can take awhile.
And it's Saturday, post-BF, pre-Christmas. . . .
Does anyone here have an idea how long Netcup ARM VPS provisioning in Manassas takes nowadays?
I am out my business is linked to my SS number and no provider is getting that info!!!
FWIW, Netcup seems to offer two methods of verification. One is called "advance payment" and the other is called "verification."
I selected and used the "advance payment" method, which, in my case involved paying my small statement balance by credit card via Stripe. They asked only the usual Stripe questions, like address, card number, expiration date, PIN, etc. They did not ask for SS number. Besides credit card, Paypal and direct bank transfer also were available. Maybe additional payment methods, I don't remember.
I don't know what the alternative "verification" method entails. One of the Netcup emails suggested that I use a device with a camera for verification. So I guess the alternative "verification" method might involve uploading photos of IDs.
Overall, the Netcup BF discount coupon/new customer account process has been complicated and disproportionately time consuming. It took a long time -- multiple tries on different days with different devices -- to get the discount coupon. Once I finally got the coupon, I kept checking to try to get the specific VPS offer that I wanted, but the offers switch around. It seems like there are many offers, which are repeated from time to time, but it seems like individual offers are not continuously available. Actually -- after again multiple days -- I had given up, but then @Blembim posted his link, which worked for me.
Even with Blembim's link, getting the order completed and my new account set up took a long time, and the multiple sets of click-to-agree Terms are over the top. I found myself frequently confused about what exactly I needed to do next and how and where to do it. There also were multiple emails spread across several days each for the coupon and for the account. And now, on top of everything else, the sauce seems to be still more waiting for the VPS to be provisioned.
I wanted the Netcup account to try their ARM VPS in Manassas because a friend in Germany uses Netcup for his business website and speaks well of them. But the Netcup BF onboarding process has been so time consuming and so troublesome that it's made even me a little angry and frustrated. People who know me probably think of me as positive and happy. So I have to say, all my other servers are working great, I love LES, the sun is shining brightly, and, yeah, things are generally going beautifully! <3<3

Yeah I know still don't want it out there further with someone I don't trust. I just can't make a breach like that for myself. As for the Govt me and them have already had some choice words.

What can be run in an ARM server?

Weird.
Did anyone here has ARM vps from netcup that came with virtualization enabled? mine doesn't seem to have one.
I think netcup charges extra for nested virtualization (2€/mo/core IIRC).

could you point me exactly where is this from? I could not find this anywhere on their site.
Can't find a statement from netcup anymore, but in the (German) netcup forum (https://forum.netcup.de/administration-eines-server-vserver/vserver-server-kvm-server/17092-nested-virtualization-für-root-server/) someone says that option (for 2€/core/mo) was removed after netcup switched to AMD EPYC. But all this was for x86 CPUs, maybe it's different for ARM, I'd suggest that you simply ask the support (if you haven't already).
And I think netcup only offered this option via their support, and not on their website.

referred to recent reddit post from last year, they no longer support nest virt but better wait for their answer on monday
Most normal stuff can run pretty much fine on ARM (linux at least), but my app is a closed-source thing compiled 20 or so years ago, for 32 bit x86
