Add-Ons · $0.5/mo
Cloudways DNS Made Easy at $0.50/mo is a straightforward per-domain add-on with no hidden renewal traps. The IONOS alternatives are cheaper on sticker price ($0.02/mo), but they are storage-based services (backup, logging, vulnerability scanning) rather than DNS management, making them functionally different products. If you specifically need DNS management, Cloudways is competitive; if you need storage or monitoring add-ons, IONOS is cheaper.
Lowest sticker price at $0.02/mo per GB, but this is a container security service, not DNS management.
Caveat: Not a DNS alternative; IONOS intro pricing resets at 2-6x renewal rates on base plans, and outbound data transfer beyond 2TB is metered at $0.036/GB.
Also $0.02/mo per GB, but this is a logging/monitoring service, not DNS.
Caveat: Not a DNS alternative; same renewal and data transfer caveats as above.
Backup storage at $0.08/mo per GB is cheaper than Cloudways offsite backup at $0.033/GB per server if you need backup capacity.
Caveat: This is backup storage, not DNS; renewal pricing trap and metered data transfer apply.
