# ZgoVPS Falkenstein Intel VPS Complete Guide

## What Is Falkenstein Intel VPS?

The German Falkenstein international line: Intel Xeon Gold 5412U, DDR5 ECC and NVMe, 1Gbps, with no China-optimised path advertised. It is the cheapest catalog line (from $22.90/year). Both tiers are out of stock; this article is a spec note only.

## Key Features

- Intel Xeon Gold 5412U
- DDR5 ECC + NVMe
- International route, 1Gbps
- Lowest prices on the catalog
- Currently sold out

## Plan Overview

| Plan | CPU | RAM | Disk | Transfer / Port | Quarterly | Semi | Annual | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 core | 1GB DDR5 ECC | 20GB NVMe | 2TB / 1Gbps | $6 | $11.90 | $22.90 ($1.91) | Out of stock |
| Standard | 2 cores | 2GB DDR5 ECC | 40GB NVMe | 4TB / 1Gbps | $10 | $19.90 | $39.90 ($3.33) | Out of stock |

Also in Germany: Frankfurt AMD uses 9929 and is in stock. Falkenstein is cheaper with a fatter pipe, but it is an international route and sold out.

## Use Cases

### Very cheap EU node

After restock, fine for a trial, probe or light international site.

### High transfer without China optimisation

2–4TB / 1Gbps. Better when users are in Europe or elsewhere.

### Need a German node now

Use Frankfurt AMD (9929, from $66/year).

## How to Choose a Plan

- After restock, start with Starter ($22.90/year)
- Need 2 cores / 4TB: Standard
- Cannot wait, or need a China-oriented path: Frankfurt AMD

## Conclusion

Falkenstein is the cheapest German international line, and it is sold out. For a German node in stock, use Frankfurt AMD.
