Netcup alternative

A Netcup alternative that is actually bare metal.

Netcup's root servers are honest value — but they are virtual machines with dedicated CPU cores, not dedicated servers. There is a hypervisor above you, no hardware IPMI, and after the May 2026 price hikes the gap to real bare metal has narrowed. Dedizone rents the whole physical machine: your silicon, your firmware, your IPMI — paid in crypto, online in under a minute.

VM with dedicated cores ≠ dedicated server

Dedicated cores still share the host's memory bandwidth, disks, NIC and fate. A noisy co-tenant, a host reboot or a hypervisor patch is still your problem. On bare metal there is no layer between you and the hardware — and no neighbours at all.

When a VM is enough

If a €10 VM covers your workload, keep it — genuinely. The moment you need guaranteed IOPS, your own kernel and firmware, hardware pass-through or predictable p99s, that is what a $49 physical machine is for.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Are Netcup root servers real dedicated servers?

No — they are KVM virtual machines with dedicated CPU cores. Dedizone rents whole physical machines.

Does Netcup provide IPMI?

No hardware IPMI — a VNC console into the VM. Dedizone includes permanent hardware IPMI/KVM on every server.

Why pay more for bare metal?

No hypervisor, no co-tenants, guaranteed IO and memory bandwidth, your own firmware — from $49/mo with $0 setup.
