Selecting an IONOS CLOUD EU region documents EU workload-location evidence. Current public material does not verify that all relevant processing, support access, subprocessors and operational activity remain solely in the EU/EEA, so strict EU/EEA-only processing is Not verified.

Pros

  • Traditional hosting and VPS are kept distinct from configurable IONOS CLOUD services
  • IONOS CLOUD records customer-selectable EU regions in Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris and Logroño
  • Managed Kubernetes, DBaaS, Object Storage, File Storage and networking are modelled as separate qualifying services
  • Network File Storage has a documented 2 TB minimum rather than an invented entry price

Things to consider

  • Traditional hosting promotions and IONOS CLOUD modular pricing cannot be reduced to one comparable monthly total
  • No researched evidence verifies a regional multi-zone Kubernetes control plane
  • EU-region storage does not verify strict EU/EEA-only processing
  • Sweden and Stockholm are not customer-selectable IONOS CLOUD locations in the researched record
