A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

Very cheap and stable for small projects, though some report hard-to-cancel contracts.

A 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB plan hit 80 to 100 percent CPU under WireGuard relay traffic of about 230 Mbit/s, which another user saw at only 15 percent; throttling is suspected.
They tested WordPress with Elementor and WooCommerce on the entry-level IONOS VPS (1 CPU, 0.5 GB RAM) and saw CPU reach 94% on each refresh. They admit the plan is small and were not surprised it struggled.
Tried IONOS: very cheap but hosts are heavily overprovisioned, making VPSes really slow.
