Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in Europe

Infrastructure as a service means renting the compute, storage and network layer of IT from a provider instead of buying and running it yourself. The provider owns the data centre, the hardware and the network; you get servers, disks and bandwidth, and you install and manage the operating system and everything above it. Dedicated servers, VPS and storage servers are all forms of IaaS.

Yes. NexonHost rents bare-metal servers in 12 facilities, VPS in Germany, the Netherlands and Romania, storage servers and backup storage, together with unmetered network ports, extra IP space and DDoS mitigation. You get root or administrator access and run whatever you need on top.

They differ in how much of the stack the provider runs. With IaaS you rent servers, storage and network and manage the operating system and applications yourself. With PaaS the provider also runs the runtime, so you only deploy code. With SaaS you use finished software and manage only your account and data.

Yes, it is bare-metal IaaS: you rent a whole physical server with no other tenants and manage it from the operating system up. A VPS is virtualised IaaS, a share of a host with its own allocated CPU, RAM and storage.

NexonHost runs the facilities, power, cooling, hardware, network and DDoS mitigation, plus the hypervisor under every VPS. You manage the operating system, applications, data, access and backups — unless you add a management tier, which starts at €20 a month on a VPS.

Per server, per month, at a fixed price. VPS plans take 5% off for semi-annual and 10% off for annual terms. Dedicated servers and unmetered VPS have no transfer quota, so their outbound traffic is not billed per gigabyte; metered VPS include 4 to 32 TB a month.

Dedicated servers run in 12 facilities: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Bucharest, Vienna, Sofia, Paris, Marseille, Dublin, Milan, Warsaw and Madrid in the EU, plus Ashburn, Virginia. Linux VPS run in Germany, the Netherlands and Romania. You choose the location at checkout, and the server and the data on it stay there.

Yes, on dedicated servers. Bring your own /24 for a €100 setup fee, or your own /24 and ASN for €200 a month plus €100 setup. NexonHost can also assign a /24 for €250 a month plus €100 setup, or up to five extra single IPv4 addresses at €3 a month each.

Yes. Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi can be selected at checkout on the Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC 9004 builds, so a server arrives ready to host your own virtual machines. Add IP space for the guests and backup storage for VM exports, and you have a private cloud you control end to end.

For steady workloads that move a lot of data, often yes: a fixed monthly price and unmetered ports replace per-hour instances and per-gigabyte egress. For workloads that need autoscaling in seconds, or managed databases, queues and serverless functions, a hyperscaler is still the better fit — and many teams run both.

Yes. VPS plans offer Basic, Standard and Full management tiers from €20 a month, dedicated servers offer managed support from €99 a month, and Infrastructure Management covers up to 30 servers with 24/7 monitoring, security consulting and DDoS mitigation for €599 a month.
