Managed NAT Gateway · $34.56/mo
IONOS NAT Gateway at $34.56/mo is significantly overpriced for basic gateway functionality. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior networking services at a fraction of the cost, with clearer pricing and fewer hidden charges.
Dedicated gateway with 200GB transfer and 200 Mbps throughput for just $2.34/mo, roughly 15x cheaper than IONOS with transparent pricing.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
If you need load-balancing alongside gateway functions, this includes 200GB transfer, 200 Mbps, and 10,000 req/s for $6.94/mo, still 5x cheaper.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; setup and renewal pricing subject to regional variation.
Entry-level load balancer with TLS termination, 25 services, and 10,000 connections for $7.49/mo; 4.6x cheaper than IONOS.
Caveat: VAT excluded from price; traffic overage rates vary sharply by region (20TB EU vs 0.5-1TB USA/Singapore); recent large price increases on other product lines.
Flat-rate load balancer with outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB overage; 3.5x cheaper than IONOS with predictable per-GB costs.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth overage at $0.015/GB (higher than some competitors); no bundled data allowance specified.
Regional load balancer at $10/mo with 100% network uptime SLA; 3.5x cheaper than IONOS with strong availability guarantees.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license cost not included in base price.
