Pricing & terms
IONOS advertises low introductory rates that move to a higher standard price at renewal — normal for the market, but worth reading closely.
Performance & specs
IONOS's European and US footprint still reaches more regions than our two — though our own Falkenstein, Germany node now puts us genuinely close for European users too.
Both offer SSD/NVMe-class storage; IONOS's specifics vary more since it spans several product lines.
IONOS includes a dedicated IP on VPS/cloud but it can vary on shared plans; ours ships with every plan, no exceptions.
Management & support
Every Nxeon plan gets full root. On IONOS, root is reserved for its VPS/cloud products.
Backups, snapshots and resize come with every Nxeon plan rather than being assembled from IONOS's per-product options.
IONOS's migration support varies by product. Ours is automated, read-only and free across every plan.
Platform & ecosystem
Game servers are a headline use case here. On IONOS you'd build it yourself on a plain VPS or cloud server.
IONOS is a long-established registrar with a broader TLD catalogue than our in-dashboard convenience feature.
Why the move sticks
No surprise renewal jump
IONOS advertises low intro rates that move to a higher standard price at renewal. Nxeon shows one flat, all-in price with no step-up.
Game servers in minutes, not a build project
One-click Minecraft, Rust, Valheim, Palworld and CS2 templates — versus configuring a game server yourself on a plain VPS or cloud instance.

Common questions
Straight answers, including the ones that favor IONOS.
Is Nxeon a good IONOS alternative?
If you want a focused developer VPS with managed conveniences and low Asia-Pacific latency, Nxeon is a strong alternative. IONOS is a broad, EU-rooted provider spanning domains, shared, VPS, dedicated and cloud — so if you want everything under one large European vendor, or a region closer to EU users, it's worth a look.
Which is better for Asia-Pacific users?
Nxeon runs two real regions, Singapore and Falkenstein, Germany, which keeps latency low across Asia-Pacific and Europe. IONOS has a broader European and US footprint beyond our one German node, so if most of your users are outside those two regions, weigh the physical distance either way.
Will IONOS's price change after the intro period?
IONOS advertises low introductory rates on many plans that move to a higher standard price at renewal — normal for the market, but always read the renewal terms. Nxeon shows simple all-in monthly pricing, and the price you see is the price checkout charges.
What does Nxeon cost?
Simple all-in monthly plans with a dedicated IPv4 included and no credit card required to sign up.
