Is IONOS's Logging Storage the best deal?

Observability (Logging & Monitoring) · $0.02/mo

Competitively priced

IONOS Logging Storage at $0.02/GB/month is among the cheapest per-GB rates available, but the comparison is complicated by IONOS's opaque bundling with compute, potential renewal shocks on hosting plans, and data transfer overage costs. Cloudways offers a more transparent, all-inclusive alternative if you're already using their platform, but standalone logging services (not shown here) may offer better value for logging-only workloads.

Offsite Backup Storage Add-On

$0.03/mo

At $0.03/GiB per server per month, only marginally higher than IONOS ($0.02/GB), but includes transparent per-server billing and integrates with managed hosting without surprise renewal hikes.

Caveat: This is backup storage, not real-time logging/monitoring; bandwidth overages on underlying cloud (DigitalOcean $0.02/GB, AWS $0.12/GB) can add up quickly if you're exporting logs frequently.

Before you switch

Verify whether you need real-time logging/monitoring (IONOS) vs. backup storage (Cloudways); they serve different use cases.
IONOS data transfer overages ($0.036/GB for 2-10TB) will compound the per-GB logging cost if you're exporting or querying logs heavily.
Check IONOS renewal pricing on any bundled VPS or hosting plan; intro rates often jump 2-6x after the contract period.
Confirm IONOS logging storage is not subject to minimum commitments or hidden per-query/API fees beyond the stated $/GB rate.
If logging volume is large (>100GB/month), request a quote from dedicated observability providers (Datadog, New Relic, Grafana Cloud) which may offer volume discounts IONOS does not.
