IONOS Cloud (formerly ProfitBricks GmbH) is an IaaS provider from Germany. More than 10 years ago when we were looking for a new hosting partner we identified IONOS Cloud as an interesting match mainly for 2 reasons:

the company is located in Germany and takes data privacy very seriously
back then it was the only Cloud hosting provider that offered real-time

We gave the offering a test, and quickly became a value-added partner, and ever since IONOS Cloud is our primary choice for hosting our own infrastructure as well as our customers' infrastructure.

Over time IONOS Cloud moved a bit away from the IaaS point-of-view and these days they are also offering managed services (e.g. Managed Kubernetes, Managed databases) which are a plus for us and our use cases.

You can read some blog posts covering IONOS Cloud on our blog. This may further help you understand why we are focused on IONOS Cloud as a hosting partner.
