FAQ

Luxvps vs Netcup — common questions

Luxvps prices are final — the price you see is the price you pay, with no VAT added on top. Across comparable plans Luxvps comes out ahead: every plan is x86 KVM, billed monthly with no lock-in and no setup fee, and includes free 4x daily backups, NVMe RAID-1, and 3.2 Tbps DDoS protection. Netcup's larger plans are ARM-based and several require a 12-month minimum term for the advertised price, which includes 19% VAT.
Netcup's high-core, high-storage VPS plans use ARM64 (Ampere) processors, which are power-efficient but can require ARM-compatible software and may not run x86-only binaries, anti-cheat, or some game-server software. Luxvps uses x86-64 hardware — Intel Xeon Gold and AMD Ryzen 9 5900X — so everything that runs on a standard PC server runs without compatibility caveats. For game servers in particular, the Ryzen line's high single-core clock speed is a real advantage.
No. Every Luxvps plan is billed monthly with no minimum term and no setup fee, and is covered by a 48-hour money-back guarantee. Some Netcup VPS plans can be ordered without a minimum term, but several of the larger/discounted plans carry a 12-month minimum term for the advertised price.
Luxvps operates exclusively from Equinix FR5, FR7, and FR8 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany — Tier III certified, with redundant N+1 power and 24/7 on-site security. Netcup operates from datacenters in Nuremberg and Vienna. Both are GDPR-compliant EU locations; Frankfurt sits on one of the world's largest internet exchanges for low European latency.
