Backup Service · $2/mo
IONOS Backup Service at $2/mo is price-competitive with Linode's equivalent $2/mo backup add-on, but both are narrow, single-device offerings. Cloudways and Hostinger offer broader value if you need web hosting or multi-server backup, though Hostinger's renewal pricing trap ($10.99/mo) and Cloudways' per-GB model require careful usage estimation.
Identical $2/mo sticker price for backup add-on with transparent per-instance pricing and no renewal trap.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth overages at $0.005/GB can add up if you restore frequently; backup is 20-25% of instance cost, so scaling is predictable.
Per-GiB pricing ($0.03/mo per GiB) is dramatically cheaper than flat-rate tiers if your backup is small (under 67 GB); scales linearly with no surprise renewal.
Before you switch
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudways | Add-Ons · Offsite Backup Storage | $0.03/mo | Per GiB per server per month (billed as a rate, not a flat monthly tier) | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Backups · Backups - Nanode 1GB tier | $2/mo | Backup add-on for smallest Shared CPU tier | Visit |
| Hostinger | Shared/Web Hosting · Premium | $2.99/mo | 20 GB SSD |
Caveat: Bandwidth overages vary by underlying cloud ($0.02-$0.17/GB); requires active server management; total cost depends heavily on backup size and restore frequency.
Includes weekly backups, 20 GB SSD, unmetered bandwidth, and CDN in one plan; better value if you need web hosting alongside backup.
Caveat: Intro price of $2.99/mo renews at $10.99/mo after 12-48 months; only weekly (not daily) backups; free domain is first-year only; monthly billing is significantly more expensive than prepaid terms.
