Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud

Europe’s largest cloud and hosting provider
It’s the first time I’m hearing about IONOS. Are they really larger than OVH?

Probably a case of hidden infrastructure.
I believe (no source) IONOS solely belongs to 1&1 AG of which ‘United Internet’ has a majority share (that I am sure of).
IONOS = Business focus. Primarily hosting and services
1&1 = End-Consumer focus. Primarily ISP and some other consumer services.
I would assume they count the infrastructure they provide for both 1&1 and IONOS.
Besides that they only have (I think) 2 DCs in Germany and 2 or 3 other locations in the EU and I think 1 in the US.
So in the end I would say it’s either Hetzner or OVH and then IONOS as having the most infrastructure.
