netcup Server are our range of server products. Our server offerings provide you with access to very capable hardware. We manage the infrastructure and hardware and provide you with a simple-to-use, easy-to-understand Server Control Panel that allows you to configure your server depending on your needs.

You may use netcup Servers to host online applications such as Nextcloud and Wordpress instances, up to advanced applications including Gaming-Servers.

With netcup, you benefit from our highly rated data centers. Our data centers are well regarded due to an elevated level of redundancy for networking, cooling, and power, ensuring that your application will be available at minimum 99.6% per year. Our Root-Servers have an even higher degree of reliability at least 99.9% per year.

What variants of server does netcup offer?

At netcup, we distinguish between vServer (VPS) and Root-Servers. Both server types are split off from powerful physical servers. One such server can host multiple virtual machines that run completely independently and in isolation from each other with a range of options concerning the operating system, CPU, storage, and RAM. The main differences between these classes are listed below:

Does netcup offer other server products for more specific needs?

In addition to vServers and Root-Servers, netcup also offers so-called Storage Servers. These are especially designed for users with a high demand for storage space. netcup Storage Servers are built upon RAID6, ensuring optimal protection for the availability of your data. netcup Storage Servers can also be combined with netcup Root or vServers, allowing cost-effective expansion with highly available storage.

How long does an order take to be processed?

The duration of the fullfillment process can depend on numerous factors. We always strive to provide your with your server as quickly as possible, but on weekends and holidays, this may take a bit longer than usual. The time it takes for you to gain access after your order has been processed can also vary. During regular working hours on weekdays, you should, in many cases, receive access to your server very quickly. However, we kindly ask for your understanding if this takes a bit longer.
