netcup Deals - FAQ
During recurring sale events, we offer a varying selection from popular netcup product categories, such as root servers, VPS, domains, and web hosting, at especially favorable conditions. These promotional products are only available as deals for a limited time and differ from regular products in terms of price and/or specifications, such as storage space and/or CPU performance.
Typically, our deals are only active for 72 hours. However, for some promotions, the deals might be available for a longer period. Please check the information on our website for details. It's definitely worth subscribing to our channels to act quickly on new netcup deals.
To be the first to know about our deals, it’s worth following our social media channels or subscribing to our newsletter. You’ll be informed as soon as a sale event begins and new netcup deals become available. Additionally, you’ll often find other promotions, goodies, or contests there as well.
Alternatively, you can join our WhatsApp channel, Telegram channel or RSS feed to stay updated on new deals and offers.
In this case, we would ask you to contact our support team at the following e-mail address. Our support team will be happy to help you with this request.
No, it is not possible to upgrade existing products or contracts for promotions.
For certain products purchased at regular prices through our website, an upgrade within the same product group and generation is possible.
However, upgrades for products purchased during a promotion are unfortunately not possible. If you later realize that your chosen plan does not meet your needs, you can cancel the plan as usual and order a new one directly through our website.
If you are ordering from netcup for the first time, your identity must first be verified and confirmed. This verification process is an important security measure to prevent potential fraud and cannot be skipped. You will receive further information about the verification via email immediately after placing your order. The ordered product will then be set up either automatically or, in some cases, by a netcup employee.
The first step of verification is not required for existing customers.
Please note that the verification and provisioning process may take some time during periods of high demand. We strive to provide every customer with the best possible service, and thank you for your understanding.
The calculation of the discount for Root Servers and VPS ARM during promotions is based on the regular price of the tariffs with a minimum contract term of one month. Typically, the location and tariff surcharge are waived during promotions, resulting in a corresponding price advantage. For VPS (x86), the location surcharge is usually waived as well. Please note that the promotional prices and offers may vary from one promotion to another.
Flash deals are additional, attractive offers that are only available for a short time. There might be one or at most two additional flash deals per promotional event. The exact duration may vary but is usually between 1 and 2 hours. You can identify a flash deal by the special lightning icon.
As soon as a flash deal is available, you’ll be notified via our WhatsApp channel, Telegram channel, or RSS feed. So make sure you’ve subscribed to one of these channels and activated push notifications to avoid missing out on any additional deals.
Unfortunately, that’s not possible. The offers are time-limited, and once the promotion has ended, the products are no longer available at the promotional price. However, netcup regularly features promotions and new offers. Feel free to check back later or take a look at our regular products, such as web hosting, domains, or server products, which also offer excellent value for money, even outside of promotions.
Our previous “SE” (Special Edition) products are now called “PRO”. This label stands for exclusive promotional versions of our regular offerings.
With a “PRO” product, you’ll continue to get what makes our promotions stand out: more performance or more storage at especially attractive prices – for example, up to 100% more SSD storage, more vCores, or a combination of both.
Please note: PRO products are only available as part of limited-time promotions.
