Common Reasons

Why people look for a Netcup alternative

These are the specifics that tend to send people comparing VPS providers. All figures are based on Netcup's ARM G11 VPS line as advertised on netcup.com/en/server/arm-server (August 2026), which netcup's own banner currently lists as sold out.

🧩
ARM Architecture on the ARM G11 Line

Netcup's ARM G11 line runs on ARM64 (Ampere Altra Max) processors, which can require ARM-compatible software and may not run x86-only binaries, anti-cheat, or some game-server builds. It is a separate product line from Netcup's x86 vServers.

🗓️
Minimum Contract Terms

Several of Netcup's larger, discounted VPS plans carry a 12-month minimum term to get the advertised price.

🏷️
VAT Added to Advertised Price

Netcup's advertised VPS prices include 19% VAT, which is part of the sticker price shown on their site.

🚫
ARM Line Currently Sold Out

Netcup's own banner on its ARM server page reads: "Our VPS ARM are currently sold out." The plans are still advertised, but you cannot order one today.

💾
RAID Level Not Published

Netcup states its ARM64 vServers include "a hard disk provided via a fast and secure RAID", but does not publish which RAID level. Luxvps publishes it: NVMe RAID-1, mirrored.

📍
Datacenter Location

Netcup operates from Nuremberg, Vienna, Amsterdam and Manassas (USA), plus Singapore on its x86 line. Some users specifically want Frankfurt, one of the world's largest internet exchanges.

Switching Over

How to migrate from Netcup to Luxvps

A straightforward path with minimal downtime.

1
Deploy your new Luxvps server
Pick a plan, choose your OS, and deploy. Luxvps servers are ready in about 60 seconds.
2
Transfer your data
Use rsync over SSH for full directory transfers (websites, files, mail), or scp for smaller individual files. Export and import database dumps separately.
3
Test before cutting over
Verify sites, services, ports, and configs on the new Luxvps server using its IP address or a temporary hosts-file entry, before touching DNS.
4
Switch DNS
Lower your domain's DNS TTL ahead of time, then update the A/AAAA records to point to the new Luxvps IP address and let the change propagate.
5
Decommission the old Netcup instance
Once traffic has fully moved and everything is confirmed stable on Luxvps, cancel or shut down the old Netcup server.

FAQ

Netcup alternative: common questions

Netcup's ARM G11 VPS line runs on ARM64 (Ampere Altra Max) rather than x86, and netcup's own banner states that the ARM line is currently sold out. Several netcup plans carry a 12-month minimum term to get the advertised price, which is displayed incl. 19% VAT. Netcup publishes that its ARM64 vServers use a RAID but does not publish the RAID level, and it guarantees 2 Tbit/s of DDoS filtering bandwidth. Luxvps is x86 KVM, billed monthly with no minimum term, on NVMe RAID-1 we name explicitly, with free 4x daily backups and 3.2 Tbit/s Premium DDoS Protection.
Luxvps prices are final: the price you see is the price you pay, with no setup fee and no required add-ons. 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 Tbit/s Premium DDoS Protection. Netcup's ARM G11 line is ARM64 and currently sold out, several Netcup plans require a 12-month minimum term for the advertised price, and Netcup's prices are displayed incl. 19% VAT.
Netcup's ARM G11 line uses ARM64 (Ampere Altra Max) processors, a separate product line from its x86 vServers, 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.
Deploy your new Luxvps server (it's ready in about 60 seconds), then copy your data across with rsync over SSH or scp, matching your existing directory structure and re-installing any required services. Test the new server fully (sites, databases, mail) before changing anything live. Once it checks out, lower your domain's DNS TTL in advance, update the A/AAAA records to point to the new Luxvps IP address, and decommission the old Netcup instance once traffic has fully moved over.
