The German-language comparison platform EXPERTE.de tests products and services in the field of digitalization. In April 2020, netcup was able to impress in the consumer test of web hosting providers: with an overall score of 1.3, netcup was the test winner with its cloud web hosting offers. The overall conclusion is as follows: "netcup was able to convince us all round as a web hosting provider: Here, excellent performance, with fast loading times and high availability, meets an intuitive user interface with a solid range of features. Occasionally, netcup asks you to pay extra, for example if you exceed the limits of external inclusive domains or want to restore backups, and there are also limitations with the software installer that other providers do not impose. But all this is complaining on a high level: netcup is an excellent all-round solution."
