Why choose an OnetSolutions VPS server

Recent hardware, a fast network and your data protected.

Intel Xeon processors

The General Purpose range runs on Intel Xeon processors with DDR4 memory, on NVMe or SSD storage. Need more? The Performance and High Performance ranges move to AMD EPYC.

Up to 300 Mbps

150 to 300 Mbps depending on the plan, and unlimited traffic. The Performance and High Performance ranges go up to 1 Gbps.

OnetSolutions API

Create, start and monitor your servers through the API, from your scripts, your CI or your AI assistants. Read the documentation

Backups and snapshots

Daily backups stored in datacenters over 100 km away, optional from €0.99 excl. VAT/month, and a first snapshot included to roll back.

The verdict in 30 seconds

IONOS wins on spec generosity: its VPS M+ lines up 4 vCPU, 4 GB and 120 GB NVMe for €9/month excl. VAT (€3 for the first three months), and its 24/7 phone support with a personal advisor is a real asset. Opposite, our GP-4 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 80 GB SSD or 40 GB NVMe) costs €6.39/month excl. VAT yearly — cheaper outside the promotion, with half the cores.

On 8 GB and 16 GB, the price gap widens in our favour: VPS L+ at €18 excl. VAT and VPS XL+ at €38 excl. VAT versus €12.79 and €23.99 excl. VAT with us yearly, with no €10 setup fee. Snapshots are included; daily off-site backups and the Windows Server 2025 licence are options, as Windows is at IONOS.

In practice: you want many cores and lots of NVMe, throughput up to 1 Gbit/s and an advisor on the phone, and Germany or Spain suit you as a location — IONOS. You want a lower fixed price outside promotions, your data in France and 24/7 French-speaking support — OnetSolutions.

Why IONOS customers move to OnetSolutions

The reasons that come up in the migration requests we handle, without embellishment.

  • The price after the promotion

    €3 for three months, then €9; €5 then €18; €9 then €38. At OnetSolutions, the first month's price is the thirty-sixth's, and it is below the IONOS base rate on every plan compared.

  • Data in France

    IONOS hosts in Germany, Spain, the UK or the USA. At OnetSolutions, your data stays in France, with a French company.

  • Snapshots included, backups at a fixed price

    One-click snapshots are included on every VPS, and the daily off-site backup is a fixed-price option: €0.99 excl. VAT/month on GP-2, €1.99 on GP-4, €2.99 on GP-8 and €4.99 on GP-16 and GP-32.

  • Windows Server at a displayed price

    The Windows Server 2025 licence is an option at a fixed price depending on size: €5.80 excl. VAT/month on GP-4, €9.20 on GP-8, €17.60 on GP-16 and €33.60 on GP-32.

  • Zero setup fee

    No €10 at order, no surprise on the first invoice: the VPS is delivered in 10 seconds at the displayed price.

  • Technical support, not sales

    The IONOS advisor is a real plus, but often a sales contact. Here, 24/7 French-speaking support is provided by technicians with access to your infrastructure.

When IONOS remains the better choice

An honest comparison also says when to stay. In these situations, we advise you not to migrate.

  • You want an advisor on the phone 24/7

    Permanent phone support with a dedicated contact is an IONOS specialty. Our support is responsive and technical, but works primarily by ticket.

  • You need many cores and lots of NVMe

    At equal size, IONOS provides more vCPU and much more NVMe (120 to 480 GB). If your workload is truly CPU or disk intensive, compare with our Performance range.

  • You need 1 Gbit/s

    IONOS throughput up to 1 Gbit/s exceeds our 150 to 300 Mbps on General Purpose; only our Performance and High Performance ranges (1 Gbps) do better.

  • You are already in the IONOS ecosystem

    Domains, e-mail, web hosting, cloud: if your VPS is part of an IONOS setup managed from one account, moving it alone makes little sense.

VAT yearly versus €9 for the VPS M+, GP-8 at €12.79 versus €18 for the VPS L+, GP-16 at €23.99 versus €38 for the VPS XL+, without the €10 setup fee.

Will the migration take my site or application down?

No, if you proceed in order: your IONOS VPS keeps responding while you copy and validate everything on the new VPS. The only visible transition is the DNS change, almost instant if you lower the TTL in advance.

Is support as available as IONOS's?

Differently: IONOS highlights a 24/7 phone line and a personal advisor. At OnetSolutions, 24/7 French-speaking support is provided by technicians with access to your infrastructure. If you value the permanent phone line, IONOS has the edge; if you value talking to someone who can act on your server, it is us.

Yes, as an option from GP-4: €5.80 excl. VAT/month on GP-4, €9.20 on GP-8, €17.60 on GP-16 and €33.60 on GP-32. At IONOS, Windows is also a paid add-on.

Are backups included?

No, they are an option: daily backups stored in a remote datacenter, €0.99 excl. VAT/month on GP-2, €1.99 on GP-4, €2.99 on GP-8 and €4.99 on GP-16 and GP-32. One-click snapshots are included. IONOS includes fast restore images and offers additional backup services.
