Hi KaKi87,
please keep in mind that this is a customer's forum only; if you want definite answers, you have to contact the official support of NetCup. Besides that, I try my best to answer your questions.

- Does the 2.5 Gbps virtual network card actually amounts to 2.5 Gbps of Internet bandwith ?
- If yes, is it dedicated ?
If I remember correctly, the specification of the root servers is "up to 2.5 Gbps" with a guaranteed bandwidth of 1 Gpbs. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here!) This directly translates to "internet bandwidth".

- As I'm in France, would there be a difference in latency at Vienna compared to Nuremberg ?
- If yes, could I request Nuremberg for free for this reason ?
- If not, could I measure the latency for myself against existing servers before considering paying almost 5 additional EUR ?
I don't exactly know, but perhaps it would be the best for you to just rent two smaller virtual servers in both locations and check the latency specific to your use case on your own. Another approach would be to search for the two ASNs, get an IP address in both locations and check the latency via ping.
I'm pretty sure that NetCup will not give you a discount for one of the server's locations because of your latency concern.
Zitat
- How much is the fee for cancelling early a contract with a 12 months period ?
You cannot cancel a 12 months period early and you have to pay a part of the whole period (e.g., 3 months or 6 months) in advance. As a possible "way out", there is a thread in this forum to exchange servers with other customers. I wouldn't count on it but with this, it could be possible to get rid of your server before the contract ends.
Zitat
- The storage space line mentions a RAID system, but which one ? Is it RAID 1 ?
As far as I know, NetCup uses a RAID 10 configuration (at least they did a few years back). Keep in mind that the virtual disk your guest operating system sees is just one device so you cannot change/use RAID on your own.
Zitat
- Is Local Block Storage separate from the default storage space ?
- If yes, can it be used with LVM to combine these, and can the logical volume have RAID 1 ?
I do not know how to answer these two questions. Maybe someone else have some insights on it :).
