The most VFM VPS provider I've used. Only downside is their support is literally non-existing, even for the simplest things (like changing your billing info) so keep that in mind.

NetCup has provided top notch performance at the best price available. 10/10 would recommend. The only reasons for not giving a 5 is having split portals for billing and management.

You will lose everything

I had a root server with Netcup and one day it simply went down due alleged "abuse". No prior warning, no way to convince i did not breal their ToS and days of downtime in my application.

Never rely critical services in them, you can lose everything in any random day.

Other hosting providers will always let you investigate (i seriously thought it was standard practive among all of them)

Hello NT,
we very much regret to hear that your recent experience has not been to your expectations.

We'd like to briefly give you some further informations regarding the handling of abuse cases.
First of all, we can of course understand the inconvenience of this situation. For each abuse case on hand, the relevant department individually screens the case – depending on the case, there may occur short-time suspensions of a service. This is done for your protection and the protection of other customers.

As an infrastructure provider, we must comply with legal regulations. In the event of a violation, it is the customers' responsibility to ensure that it does not happen again.
Nevertheless, we will forward your feedback to the relevant department.

Kind regards

I had previously tried managed VPS services from several well known providers, but I was not satisfied due to issues such as limited technical support. I decided to manage everything myself on a reliable and high quality server. After trying providers like Hetzner and OVHcloud, I realized that Netcup root servers were exactly what I was looking for.

I have been using a Netcup root server for about a year, and I have not experienced even a second of downtime. The servers are fast, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I am grateful to Netcup and the team for such a smooth experience.

abuse handling and support are absolutely third class.

Server quality is decent, but their abuse handling and support are absolutely third class.

In the last 7 days alone, they blocked our entire server more than 3 times. We manage many websites, and sometimes a customer may unknowingly upload copyrighted or malicious files. This can happen with any hosting provider. If informed, we immediately remove the content. That is standard industry practice.

However, Netcup directly disables the whole server without warning and then tells us to contact support to get a so-called “maintenance window” of 120 minutes to fix the issue. The real problem?

Their support NEVER provides this maintenance window.

I even raised a formal request asking for a reasonable grace period (12–24 hours) to investigate and resolve abuse reports, just like other providers (e.g., Contabo, Hetzner). Instead of understanding or cooperating, their support staff simply ignored the request. One reply even ended with “Mit freundlichen Grüßen” and clearly showed zero intention to help.

Worse, they explicitly told us:
“Please do not send any further inquiries regarding abuse to our support team.”

This is unacceptable, arrogant, and unprofessional behavior. Hosting providers are partners, not kings. Blocking an entire server due to one abused site is unethical and causes serious damage to business operations and brand trust.

This experience felt like mental harassment, not support. Their policies are harsh, communication is poor, and their attitude is completely anti-customer.

We will not tolerate this kind of treatment. Their abuse handling process is unethical and damaging, and we are seriously considering legal action against the company and responsible officials for the losses and stress caused.

Strongly NOT recommended for any serious business.

Hello Dipesh,
we very much regret to hear that your recent experience with us has been disappointing to you.
We are able to assign you to a customer file and thus would like to briefly address your feedback.

First of all, we would like to emphasize that we can of course understand how frustrating this situation has been for you, especially in your field of work. To give you a better understanding of our internal handling of abuse cases, we would like to point out that there is a special team for the handling of abuse cases, which operates separately from our support team. Our support teams is not authorized to give out informations about abuse cases – for communication regarding an open case, we can only take the information provided through our CustomerControlPanel into account. More information regarding the process can also be found in our HelpCenter.

Nevertheless, we can emphasize that these answers can contribute to create a frustrating experience – we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Furthermore, we can assure you that we take your feedback into account and will forward it internally to the relevant department in order to review it further.

Kind regards
