FAQ – Frequently asked questions
When you rent a cloud server from IONOS, you get access to a virtualised IT infrastructure with computing power (CPU and RAM) and SSD SAN storage. Each server is also equipped with either Windows or a Linux distribution.
It does not matter whether your project is a private or a business project because our cloud servers are highly scalable and can be adjusted at any time. This means you can realise simple websites as well as a complex application server. At the end of the month, you only pay for the resources you have actually used! The server model is therefore particularly suitable for projects with highly fluctuating resource requirements.

If you have rented a cloud server from IONOS, you have the right to cancel within the first 14 days after booking. Once this period has elapsed, you are no longer able to cancel your contract.
However, there is no minimum contract period for cloud servers at IONOS. You can cancel at any time if you are not satisfied - whether it’s after one month or later. Simply terminate the contract and then you can rest assured that you won’t incur any further costs. Even if the starting credit is used up, you can cancel at any time.
Cloud servers at IONOS work according to the pay-as-you-go principle. This means that you only pay for the resources you use and are billed by the minute. If you delete the server (not the contract), no further costs are incurred. You will only be billed if you start using the server again.

Cloud servers are not the only IONOS server solution based on virtualised resources. If you rent a vServer (also known as a VPS), you also get access to a virtualised IT infrastructure. The service portfolio is defined much more strictly here, and there’s a monthly fixed price to pay.
You also get your money’s worth with a dedicated server solution. If you rent a dedicated server, IONOS provides you with your own hardware, which you do not share with anyone else. You administrate it either on your own or with the help of IONOS support.
