Free server hosting

Q: What other server options does IONOS offer?

The dedicated servers from IONOS are especially useful for those interested in high performance. Large companies, in particular, find these solutions especially appealing. They appreciate the high performance, dedicated hardware, and the flexibility. Dedicated servers also have the added benefit that you can structure the server to your requirements. Choose from: AMD servers : Servers with AMD processors are ideal for demanding tasks because they offer both high single-thread and multi-thread performance. Intel servers : If you are looking for servers with powerful processors and innovative technology, Intel CPUs are worth considering. Storage servers : Fail-safe servers for storing very large amounts of data while maintaining high security. Thanks to pay-as-you-go billing, you only ever pay for what you actually use with an IONOS dedicated server.

Q: What are the cancellation terms for VPS and managed servers?

Thanks to the 30-day money-back guarantee, you can try out both products for a month. If you decide to cancel, you get your money refunded. Unless you've signed up for a minimum term, all IONOS servers can be canceled at any time.

Q: What are the cancellation terms for cloud servers?

There is no minimum term for cloud servers. It doesn’t matter if you chose free Windows server hosting or the Linux option, once you delete the cloud server, you won’t be charged any additional costs. This also applies even if you have used up all your credit. Cloud servers from IONOS are billed to the minute and you only ever pay for what you’ve used. This means that you don’t have to terminate the entire contract — just delete the server to ensure you're not charged any more. If you start using resources again, you will be billed for this use.
