It is fascinating to watch how some individuals are desperately trying to derail this thread into completely irrelevant territories—checking my licenses, my signature, or my forum tags.
It seems that exposing a major provider's deceptive practice is deeply bothering some of you.
Let’s get one thing straight: You can attack me, audit my website, or question my account age. None of that changes the FACT visible in the screenshot above.
The Fact: IONOS admitted in writing that they sell "High Performance NVMe" but intentionally throttle it to 200MB/s (HDD speeds) via software limits.
If you are trying to bury this truth by creating noise about "WHMCS verification" or "signatures," you are just proving that you prefer protecting the status quo over honest hosting standards.
Stop attacking the messenger and look at the message.
You seem a very rude little man, all you have done when people have not agreed with you is attack them
You seem to want everyone to have everything in order, but fail to do so yourself
If you are trying to sell WHMCS licenses, this is definitely the wrong place.
Have I or anyone mentioned trying to sell you anything ? No
In the hosting market, there are always limits in place, even more so with global providers because they do not have time to deal with rubbish like this.
.
Calling me names like 'little man' only shows your own lack of professionalism.
But the most revealing part of your comment is the end: '...because they do not have time to deal with rubbish like this.'
So, asking for the NVMe speed we paid for is 'rubbish' to you? Holding a provider accountable for deceptive descriptions is 'rubbish'?
Thank you for showing everyone exactly how you view customer rights. I think we are done here.
No one is derailing anything.
No one gives a fuck. IONOS doesn't have a rep here (at least not active) and no one would bother or care about defending IONOS
You just kept saying that your aim is trying to show deceptive actions of IONOS. Well OK, what do you expect us to do? Give you a medal?
You posted your findings, people commented about it. No one seems surprised. And it's over. If you want to sue them, sure go sue them.
The forum you are posting has rules, like what you can add to your signature, how to promote your services, and if you are a provider you are expected to have valid WHMCS license (I am not saying you have it or not)
What you are doing here is, joining to a community, without reading community rules. Then having arguements with people posting here regularly. That's not a best way to enter into a community.
Especially, if you are planning to sell hosting here.
If you are not happy with people knit picking your details, you can kindly piss off. And stop with the drama of 'oh they are trying to twist the truth, trying to surpress me from telling the truth'. No one is doing that.
You just summed up your entire mentality in one sentence: 'No one gives a fuck.'
You are openly saying that fraud and deceptive marketing in the hosting industry don't matter to you. That explains everything.
Fortunately, looking at the views and supportive comments in this thread (and Trustpilot), many people DO give a fuck about getting what they paid for.
Since you resorted to telling me to 'piss off', it's clear you have run out of logical arguments. I won't lower myself to that level.
Discussion closed.
Sorry mate, the problem is, some turkish hosts aren't that big in business than their dreams want to be and try to avoid mistakes, but it always turn around.
Back to IONOS. Everyone can use them, because they have cheap options. We allready found many years ago, that 1y for €12 offers are limited to a year or otherwise you pay much more. There are just some limits with them.
Move on and go to another host, that fits your needs. Serververify will help you.
Life lesson, respect is earned not just given. Your very first thread, people comment you attack them. Not a great start.
You cannot simply attack someone if they have different opinion than you do. That is why these are called "discussions" not dictator statements
It seems more that when someone states a fact, maybe hits a raw nerve you get angry have a breakdown over it.
Okay little man, if you say so
Welcome to LET btw.
Unfortunately, words doesn't work for him. He is expecting some medal or nobel prize for his work of saving everyone from the trouble.
It's high performance because they don't let one user burst 100% of the pipeline resulting in increased reliability and consistency, and 200MB/s is a ridiculously high number. I hate you for making me think IONOS did something intelligent.
Advertising nvmes and capping out at spinning rust is not what one would call high performance, let's be real.
And I still fail to see that this is inherently the issue, the issue was the lack of disclosure of that fact, let alone that anywhere is stated that this happens nor what some minimum guaranteed specs are.
*Edit: nobody would give a shit on the 1€ plan, that's clear, but the higher tiers...
Yes 200MB/s is high performance. You are retarded. I can't believe you people are making me stand up for IONOS. They suck, you guys just suck more.
I'm amused, I like you. You might accomplish something one day
Just bad timing. Everybody's dick is still up but @VeloxMedia got banned so there's nobody to rage at anymore and you walked in @Tufan
my dick is down
And here I thought the bigger advantage of the invention of ssd/nvme is high (random) IOps...
How large is the storage of that VM and what is the "app" doing that needs to fill this poor disk sequentially in seconds?
Did I miss some new crypto game?
To be fair:
While paying:
Nothing else matters ya know...
Maybe you just abused their disk previously, like there's much YABS results indicating 900+ MB/s.
I know right best deal ever
Hello .
Thats so good. How can you buy that VPS?
Thanks for sharing the data.
What you are seeing there is the 'Best Case Scenario' (likely an empty node or inactive neighbors). That is the Burst capacity.
The issue I exposed—and that IONOS Executive Support admitted to in writing—is about the Guaranteed Floor and the QoS Logic.
They explicitly stated that this is a 'Mass Market' product designed to throttle users via software limits to preserve stability when the node gets busy. Right now, you might be enjoying the honeymoon phase of a quiet node. But the moment your 'neighbors' start working, that software limit admitted by their Back Office will kick in, clamping you down to ~200 MB/s.
Enterprise hosting is about consistency, not just getting lucky with a quiet node until the QoS hammer drops. I'd rather have a transparent limit than a hidden trap.
It is genuinely baffling to watch this discussion.
Let's get technical for a second: A real NVMe drive should comfortably sustain 1GB/s to 3GB/s.
Yet, people see a burst speed of ~500 MB/s (which is basically standard SATA SSD speed) and think: "Oh great, I have NVMe!"
No, you don't. You have a throttled drive labeled as NVMe.
If you run a sustained fio test—not just a quick script—you will see the I/O bottleneck (iowait) spiking to 93%+ as soon as the QoS limit kicks in. That is exactly where the illusion breaks.
The strangest part is: The IONOS Back Office Team explicitly admitted this. They sent me an email stating: "Yes, we limit it for mass market stability."
They confessed to the throttling. The "murderer" admitted the crime in writing, yet some users are still acting as the defense attorney trying to prove there is no crime.
Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

Just a word of caution to those celebrating their temporary benchmark scores:
You might be losing exactly when you think you are winning.
Thinking you have "won" because you hit a lucky, empty node today is a dangerous illusion. You are paying for consistency, but receiving luck. When the "Mass Market" reality hits and that hidden limit kicks in, you'll realize the game was rigged from the start.
Don't let the temporary silence of the noisy neighbors fool you into thinking the walls are soundproof.
Everyone uses the same disks on this vps. If they not limit them, you can't use your vps then.
If you constantly have issues with this thematic, get a dedi, and forget ionos.
How does it make a difference to be on an empty node if they are enforcing a soft limit across the board? Your argument doesn’t make sense to me.
Sounds like it's just not consistently enforced.. Maybe they enable it when a node becomes loaded beyond x amount or perhaps it's per (heavy) user.
Anyway it's good info to have, I'm not sure why so much hostility but it's the internet fuck your mom or whatever.
