Two months into an RS 8000 root server, tickets take days and end in unexplained one-line closures, with repeated downtime from the network, so they plan to move away. The provider is inferred from the RS 8000 plan name and the Austria network mention.

Been on a Cloud VPS 20 with them since early 2024. It hosts my Nextcloud, a Gitea instance, Uptime Kuma and a few Docker side projects. 12 GB of RAM for what they charge is still hard to beat anywhere I've looked. Know what you're buying though. The vCPUs are shared and you can see steal time in htop during European working hours, so anything CPU heavy runs noticeably slower than on my Hetzner box. Disk is fast, no complaints there. Uptime has been decent for me. Two unplanned outages so far, one about 40 minutes, plus a maintenance reboot announced with very little notice. Support tickets get answered but slowly and the first reply is usually a template, so I don't count on them for anything. The panel looks old but does what I need: reinstall, snapshots, rescue mode. I keep restic backups off the server anyway. For self hosting by someone who can manage Linux it's great value. I wouldn't put a client's shop on it.

Already runs a VPS with netcup and is happy with it. Ordering a second one took just under 48 hours to provision with no status note, which they accept, and they praise the service and use the servers for AI testing and non-production work.

KVM 2 for about 8 months, running n8n, a Postgres container and a couple of small APIs in Docker. 8 GB RAM at that price is hard to beat, and the panel makes snapshots, OS reinstalls and firewall rules easy. I barely touch it beyond SSH. Then I ran a heavy scraping job overnight and the server got throttled hard, everything crawled until the next day. Support pointed me to their CPU usage limits. Uptime otherwise has been fine. Check the renewal price before you pay. The intro rate only covers the prepaid term, after that it's a lot more.

They have hosted on an IONOS VPS for several years at about $5 a month, with a Plesk licensing fee passed on recently. Support calls went okay, though one 24 hour system-wide reboot outage was their biggest problem and they plan to migrate someday.

They run a 2 euro IONOS VPS and recently moved from the 1/1/10 plan to the 2/2/80 one. They report about 20-25% CPU while pushing 230Mbps through a WireGuard tunnel and could not confirm UDP throttling in their iperf tests.
