Where IONOS is the stronger fit
Phone support and a money-back guarantee
IONOS answers the phone 24/7, on top of chat and email, and backs orders with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We answer tickets and email 24/7 with the engineers who run the platform, which is good for depth, but we do not publish a phone line or a money-back window. If either of those is a requirement, they have it and we do not.
A higher published uptime figure
IONOS publishes 99.99%+ uptime; our SLA commits to 99.9% with service credits. On the published number they are ahead, and we would rather state that here than let you find it after signing. Read both SLAs for what the credits actually cover before you weight this heavily.
Scale, bundled add-ons and one vendor for the whole stack
Domains, email, web hosting, a website builder, load balancing, private networking and object storage all sit in the same account, backed by a company operating at a scale we do not match. For a small business that wants one invoice and one support number for everything online, that is a coherent answer.
Where X-ZoneServers is the stronger fit
One flat price, no introductory rate and no annual commitment
The IONOS headline figure is an introductory rate for the first three months on a one-year commitment, with regular prices stated as $11–$68/month. Our price is the price: €4.00/month for a KVM VPS, billed monthly or hourly from €0.0056, with no term and nothing to renew at a different rate.
Twelve metros against four countries
IONOS lists datacenters in the US, UK, Germany and Spain. We deploy in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Marseille, Madrid, Milano, Vienna, Warsaw, Sofia, Bucharest, Istanbul and Ashburn. For users in Italy, Austria, Poland, the Balkans or Turkey, the latency difference is physical and not something a bigger brand fixes.
A product ladder above a gigabit
Both give you unlimited traffic on a 1 Gbps connection at the VPS tier. Above that we keep going: a 10 Gbps unmetered VPS from €9.99/month, and dedicated servers with guaranteed 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 200 Gbps ports, every chassis priced at every tier on the site.
Pricing scenarios
Comparable workloads at published list prices. Currency, VAT treatment, setup fees and promotional terms differ per provider — the disclosure below the table explains how to read them.
Entry VPS, first term
X-ZoneServers
Micro — 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB SSD, 1 Gbps unmetered — €6.00/mo excluding VAT, flat, no term.
IONOS
VPS M+ — 4 GB RAM, 2 vCores, 120 GB NVMe — $4/month introductory for the first three months on a one-year commitment. More disk, and cheaper during the introductory period.
Entry VPS, at the regular rate
X-ZoneServers
Still €6.00/mo. There is no renewal step and no different second-term price.
IONOS
Regular pricing across the VPS+ range is stated as $11–$68/month. Check which figure applies to the plan and term you are buying before comparing.
Above a gigabit
X-ZoneServers
10Gbps VPS from €9.99/mo on a 10 Gbps unmetered port; guaranteed 10 Gbps dedicated from €659/mo, 100 Gbps from €4,499/mo.
IONOS
The VPS+ range is described as unlimited traffic on a 1 Gbps external connection. Higher throughput means moving to their dedicated or cloud products, priced separately.
Dürüst değerlendirme: IONOS gives you phone support, a 30-day money-back guarantee and a higher published uptime figure than ours, and for a lot of buyers that package is worth more than anything on our side of the table. The two places we would push back are the pricing model — an introductory rate on an annual commitment is a different thing from a flat price — and geography, where four countries is a real constraint if your users are not in them.
Which one should you pick?
Pick X-ZoneServers if
- You want one flat price with no introductory rate, renewal step or annual commitment.
- Your users are in Italy, Austria, Poland, the Balkans, Turkey or Romania.
- You need more than a gigabit, or a guaranteed multi-gigabit dedicated port.
- You want tickets answered by the engineers who operate the platform.
Pick IONOS if
- Phone support at 3am matters more to you than who picks up.
- You want a money-back guarantee before you commit.
- A published 99.99% uptime figure is a procurement requirement.
- You want domains, email, web hosting and servers on one invoice.

Disclosure, method and limits
We are one of the providers compared
This page is published by X-ZoneServers (X ZONE IT SRL, Bucharest, Romania). We sell one of the two services compared, so this is a vendor comparison rather than an independent review. Our method is to quote each provider's own published figures, name the date we read them, and state plainly where the other provider is the better choice.
How the numbers are gathered
Competitor data is read directly from that provider's public website — pricing pages, specification sheets, network and location pages — on the dates listed under Sources, plus public network registries such as PeeringDB and bgp.he.net for ASN details. We do not benchmark competitor hardware ourselves and we do not republish figures from review sites or affiliate directories.
How to read the prices
List prices only. Promotional offers, first-term discounts, renewal rates, setup fees, add-ons, region surcharges and currency all differ per provider and can change without notice. X-ZoneServers prices are in EUR excluding VAT. Where another provider publishes in a different currency or inclusive of VAT, that is marked in the table — those figures are not directly comparable to ours without adjustment.
Accuracy and corrections
The goal is that every claim here can be verified at the source in under a minute. Nothing on this page is a benchmark result, a prediction, or a statement about a competitor's internal operations. If a figure has drifted or is wrong — including where the error favours us — write to us and we will correct it and move the review date.
Trademarks and affiliation
All company and product names are the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification and comparison only. X-ZoneServers is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or a reseller of any other provider named on this page.
