Managed Databases (MariaDB/PostgreSQL) · $47.52/mo
IONOS's $47.52/mo per-core pricing is expensive for entry-level managed databases. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at $5-$16/mo, with lower hidden-cost risk and clearer renewal pricing. Unless you need high-core configurations, switching saves 60-90%.
256MB RAM for $6/mo with 99.95% SLA; storage overages at $0.30/GB are transparent.
Caveat: Storage billed separately; instances billed by the second so partial-month charges apply if you scale down.
2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10GB SSD for $11/mo; 99.9% SLA and no renewal-price shock.
Caveat: Development/prototyping tier only, no HA available; egress beyond 75GB/mo charged at EUR 0.01/GB.
1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10GB disk for $15/mo; 99.99% SLA and simple bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: Redis-compatible (Valkey), not PostgreSQL/MariaDB; bandwidth overages apply after pooled allowance.
1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25GB SSD for $16/mo; 99.99% SLA and confirmed pricing.
Caveat: Standalone (no HA replica); backups are a separate add-on at roughly 20-25% of instance price; outbound bandwidth charged at $0.005/GB after allowance.
