The key technical facts for the plans we have a active coupon code for. All values are sourced directly from Netcup.
Web hosting, VPS or root server: choosing the right hosting model is easy once you know the core differences.
🌐 Web Hosting
Managed hosting: the server runs itself and you don't need to touch it. Upload your files, set up an email address, done. For most websites, blogs or small shops this is exactly what you need. It's the easiest and cheapest option, with zero administration headaches.
💻 VPS (Virtual Private Server)
Root access: A virtual server with root access, so you install what you like: Docker, custom software, your own stack. That comes with responsibility: you administer the server yourself. If you want to run a custom app, a Node.js project or a game server, a VPS makes a lot of sense.
🛡️ Root Server (dedicated)
Dedicated hardware resources: Dedicated hardware with no shared resources at all. Worth it when you're running consistently heavy workloads and shared CPU or RAM would be too unpredictable. For a hobby project or a typical website, a dedicated root server is almost always overkill.
You've got the code, so now comes the easy part. The Netcup order process only takes a moment to apply the discount:
Netcup has been around since 2002, when Felix Preuß founded it as a one-man operation. It has since grown into a Karlsruhe-based internet service provider with over 100,000 customers, and has been part of the Anexia group since 2016. We have used netcup ourselves for years and can say honestly: it offers solid value for money across a wide range of use cases. But no hosting provider is perfect for everyone, and this one is no different.
What we like: Netcup is well known for its RS series, particularly the RS 1000 series, which is popular with developers and webmasters. Dedicated CPU cores, steady performance, and competitive pricing make it a strong value option in the hosting market.
Server and reliability: On the server side, there are VPS, root servers and storage servers. VPS plans are billed per minute with no minimum contract, which is handy if you just want to test something without committing. Root servers give you dedicated CPU and RAM with a guaranteed 99.9% availability. For more demanding setups, netcup PRO includes managed servers where netcup handles the administration for you. On sustainability, netcup states it runs on 100% green electricity. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, and has won the HOSTtest audience vote for best web host of the year on several occasions. All hardware is brand-name, with every component duplicated for redundancy.
If you have any questions about generating or applying coupon codes, find answers below:
How do I redeem a Netcup voucher?
Click on your desired coupon code or 'Copy Code' to copy it to your clipboard. Then, paste and redeem it directly during the Netcup checkout process.
Are the vouchers free?
Yes. Generating, copying and using the vouchers is completely free for you.
Are the codes checked before listing?
Every code is verified automatically by our scripts. We check the status against Netcup's systems every 5 minutes, but promotions can change, so it is best to redeem a copied code promptly.
What is a Netcup voucher?
A Netcup voucher is a discount or promo code that saves you money on web hosting plans, VPS and root servers at the hosting provider Netcup.
Which products are vouchers available for?
We offer vouchers for Netcup web hosting, VPS servers and root servers, plus regularly changing special offers.
Can vouchers be combined with each other?
No. Netcup vouchers cannot be stacked, so it's always just one code per order. It's worth quickly checking which code saves you the most before you book.
Do the codes work for existing customers too?
Yes. Our voucher codes for web hosting, VPS and root servers work for existing Netcup customers just as well as for new ones. The one exception is the separate 6€ instant voucher near the top. That one is for new customers only. You'll always see the exact conditions again at Netcup during checkout.
How long are the voucher codes valid?
Codes are checked frequently and stale entries are cleared from the list. Because promotions and individual vouchers can change, it is best to redeem your code right away. If Netcup ends a promotion entirely, new codes stop appearing for it.
What is the G12 generation at Netcup?
G12 stands for netcup’s current, twelfth server hardware generation. Root servers and VPS in the G12 line run on modern AMD EPYC 9645 CPUs. Any new server you book today will be a G12 plan. Older generations are being phased out gradually.
Which plan is right for me: web hosting, VPS or root server?
Quick rule of thumb: web hosting is the right choice if you just want a website or blog without touching server admin. A VPS makes sense if you need root access and know your way around a Linux server. Root servers are built for sustained heavy workloads and are overkill for most hobby projects. There is a more detailed decision guide further up on this page if you want to dig in.
