Summary
netcup
hosting vps dedicated
The network of netcup GmbH, a German hosting provider (NETCUP) offering low-cost VPS, root servers, dedicated servers, and web hosting. Infrastructure is run from datacenters in Germany and Austria.
What it's used for
- Affordable VPS/vServer, dedicated servers, and shared web hosting for a mostly European customer base.
Notable
- An IP here identifies netcup as the host, not the operator of whatever runs on it — budget VPS ranges see a wide mix of legitimate and abusive use.
Interesting
- netcup is a long-running, self-funded German provider popular in the budget-VPS community for aggressive pricing.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-03. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
