Hidden costs

Intro pricing on VPS+ and Web Hosting plans (e.g. $2/mo, $1/mo) is a 3-month or 1-year promotional rate on a 1-year contract; renewal pricing after the promo/contract period is 2-6x higher
Additional static IPv4 addresses billed at $6.00 per 30 days each
Outbound data transfer beyond the free 2TB pooled allowance is tiered: $0.036/GB (2-10TB), dropping to $0.018/GB beyond 150TB
Windows Server and RedHat Enterprise Linux require separate per-vCPU/core license surcharges on top of Compute Engine/Cube pricing
IONOS CLOUD Compute Engine building-block pricing (Cores + RAM + Storage priced independently) can be harder to estimate than fixed-tier competitors without using their price calculator
