Netcup worth it in 2023? (alien.top)

Hi, I know this topic already had some posts, but they are some time old, so I am starting another one...

Does anyone know if Netcup is worth it in 2023? Basically I have heard there are some issues with cancellations and such...

I want to move away from my Windows web hosting at another company, because I didn't have enough possibilities.... (Basically ASP.NET Core and PHP and that is it), but I want to try more stuff, so I though about moving to Netcup to a root server (Either 1000 or 2000 one).

What do you guys think, is it worth it? Any better alternatives for similar performance for the price? I am from Slovenia, and I am looking at a max budget of around 16€ after tax per month...

Edit: 2 additional questions...
Would I be still able to have the free SSL via Let's encrypt?

Could I set up the right things to have a mail server set up, so it doesn't go to spam?

Netcup is quite cheap, but worth the price. Only thing I had issues with is how they were billing partial months. Basically if you rent a server for a day, they bill you for the whole month and then give you credit for the rest of the month if you cancel early. Hetzner does this better imo, they bill you at the end of the month.

Also backups are better with hetzner.
