This guide shows the IONOS server locations available for VPS, cloud hosting, and dedicated servers. If you look at the IONOS website, there are small mistakes.
The data centers that you see on the “data center” page might not be available in your hosting package.
So, this guide provides a complete list of IONOS data center locations and gives information about which locations are available for your hosting package.
Let’s begin.
IONOS server locations
To begin with, IONOS mainly has 5 major countries where servers are located. They have multiple cities. However, you can’t select the city.
IONOS shared hosting data center locations are mirrored in 2 locations. You don’t have any option to select the data center in shared hosting.
Before further server details, it’s worth noting that you will get Cloudflare CDN with IONOS. A CDN allows you to serve your website from the nearest locations to your visitors.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter which server you go with, it’s highly recommended to add Cloudflare CDN.
You will also get Cloudflare with shared hosting.
Now, let’s see data center locations for various hosting packages.
IONOS VPS locations:
IONOS VPS has a maximum number of servers including France.
You will have to choose a data center before you hit the configure button. Once you select the data center, the server plans will refresh.

- Europe: Germany (Frankfurt and Berlin), France (Paris), Spain (Logroño), United Kingdom (London and Worcester)
IONOS Dedicated server locations:
Dedicated servers have almost the same locations as VPS except in France.

Considerations for Choosing the Right Server Location
There are several factors to consider when choosing the right server locations. Firstly, you can check the basic details about the data center. For instance, IONOS has this brief to get an idea about the data center.
Target audience and website visitors
You should always select a location which is near to the visitors. For instance, if you have maximum visitors from Europe, you should select the server in the European data center.
For country-specific websites, you can try to find the data center in the same country to speed up the first byte. Your website will load faster if the server is near to the visitors.
Legal and compliance requirements
Make sure the hosting service is reliable and in compliance with legal requirements. IONOS servers are ISO 27001 certified (by this, the company keeps proper security in the personal data they process).
So, you can fully rely on IONOS.
In the same way, if you are running a sensitive country-specific website, you should try to host the website in your own country to ensure that the internal matters stay within the country.
Scalability and future growth
The data centers should be big enough for you to scale up. If the servers are running out of stock in that location, you need to think twice before buying it.
IONOS has more than 90,000 servers in operation and growing continuously.
Disaster recovery and redundancy
Security is the key to this data-dominated world. The data centers should be protected from disaster. IONOS data centers have amazing physical security such as fencing, fire protection, armed guards, protection from natural calamities, etc.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can say server locations of IONOS lie in the United States, France, United Kingdom, and Germany. France is available only if you go with VPS.
For dedicated and cloud servers, you can also select South Germany (Baden) as your location.
If you want more location options, you can look for another alternative such as Kamatera.
