Is IONOS's Registry Storage the best deal?

Container Registry · $0.05/mo

Competitively priced

IONOS Container Registry Storage at $0.05/GB/mo is competitively priced for basic storage, but lacks the integrated backup and compute ecosystem that Cloudways offers. The real risk with IONOS is hidden renewal pricing on bundled services and per-vCPU license surcharges if you scale beyond storage alone.

Offsite Backup Storage Add-On

$0.03/mosave 40%

Backup storage at $0.03/GiB is 40% cheaper than IONOS registry storage and includes managed server integration with 99.99% SLA.

Caveat: Cloudways is a managed hosting platform, not a pure registry service; bandwidth overages vary by underlying cloud provider and can be steep on AWS ($0.12/GB).

Before you switch

IONOS outbound data transfer beyond 2TB pooled allowance costs $0.036/GB (2-10TB range); verify your egress needs before committing.
If you bundle IONOS Container Registry with VPS+ or Web Hosting, renewal pricing after promo period can be 2-6x higher; lock in renewal rates in writing.
IONOS Compute Engine pricing is build-your-own (cores, RAM, storage separate); use their calculator to avoid sticker-shock surprises.
Windows Server and RedHat Enterprise Linux incur per-vCPU license surcharges on top of compute pricing; factor these in if using licensed OS.
Cloudways bandwidth overages are provider-dependent; if using AWS backend, $0.12/GB egress can exceed IONOS rates quickly on high-traffic workloads.
