Netcup renews at the same price: the deals where invoice one and invoice twenty match

The teaser-and-renewal-shock pattern runs through a lot of this catalogue: a low first bill, then a renewal at three, four or five times the price. Netcup is the opposite case. Every monthly VPS deal on its menu renews at exactly the same figure as the first bill — there is no teaser rate to expire and no surprise waiting at the top of the second invoice.

The monthly ladder: the price you start on is the price you stay on

The three current-generation root server VPS deals all score a fair 1.000 on our renewal-shock scale. RS 1000 v13 — 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 64GB NVMe — is $3.25 a month, renewing at $3.25. RS 2000 v13 (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 128GB NVMe) is $5.25, renewing at $5.25, and RS 4000 v13 (8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVMe) is $8.75, renewing at $8.75. The cheapest row on the menu, the VRS 2G Special at $2.99 a month, follows the same rule — though it is flagged as frequently out of stock, so check availability before planning around it.

Two exceptions, and neither is a teaser trap

Two rows break the perfect 1.000 pattern, but for honest reasons. The Root Server Dedicated — Intel i7, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVMe — starts at $13.50 a month and renews at $15.00, a one-off introductory discount on a shock score of 1.111: you know the first bill is the discounted one. The 5-year prepaid plan is $149.00 for five years and then reverts to $40.00 a year; our score of 1.342 marks it steep because the yearly rate after the prepaid term is higher per year than spreading the prepaid price, not because a teaser expires. Both are visible on the deal pages rather than buried in a checkout flow.

How it compares on this menu

Deal for deal, this is the cleanest renewal table in the catalogue. RackNerd mixes flat-renewing annuals with a shared-hosting teaser that jumps from $1.99 to $9.99 — a shock of 5.020 — and InterServer dodges the problem with a slice ladder where every slice costs the same $3.00. Netcup's version is simpler still: the same number on invoice one and invoice twenty. If a flat renewal is your main criterion, the 6 listed Netcup deals and the Netcup catalogue page are the safest read on the menu; the RackNerd comparison and the InterServer slice ladder cover the other two honest-renewal models.
