Document IONOS Object Storage pricing

Browse Source 
Storage cost matches what was already known from IONOS chat support
(~$0.49/100GB/month). Found the two unknowns from IONOS's own published
price list rather than pricing-comparison sites, which had conflicting
numbers for the API-cost line: API requests (PUT/COPY/POST/LIST/GET/
DELETE) are free with no per-request charge, and outbound transfer is
free up to 2TB/month (shared across the whole IONOS contract, not scoped
to Object Storage alone) before tiered per-GB rates kick in. Relevant to
services/immich.sh's S3 storage engine.

## IONOS Object Storage pricing
Relevant to `services/immich.sh`'s S3 storage engine (thumbnails, encoded
video, and new uploads offloaded to object storage instead of local VPS
disk — see that file's `IMMICH_STORAGE_ENGINE=s3` support) or any other
service pointed at an S3-compatible bucket instead of a local bind mount.
Storage cost was already known from IONOS chat support (~$0.50/100GB/month
checked out); API and transfer costs were the unknowns — pulled from
IONOS's own published price list (`docs.ionos.com`, IONOS CLOUD Inc.
price list — USD; the EU entity, IONOS SE, may list EUR-denominated rates
that differ slightly) rather than the general pricing-comparison sites,
which had conflicting/stale numbers for the API-cost line.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Storage | $0.00487 / GB / 30 days (~$4.99/TB/month, ~$0.49/100GB/month) |
| API requests — PUT / COPY / POST / LIST / GET / DELETE | **Free** — no per-request charge on any operation |
| Inbound transfer (upload to the bucket) | **Free** |
| Outbound transfer (download from the bucket) — up to 2TB/mo | **Free** |
| Outbound transfer — next 8TB (2-10TB/mo) | $0.036 / GB |
| Outbound transfer — next 40TB (10-50TB/mo) | $0.030 / GB |
| Outbound transfer — next 100TB (50-150TB/mo) | $0.024 / GB |
| Outbound transfer — over 150TB/mo | $0.018 / GB |
**The outbound-transfer tiers are shared across the whole IONOS contract**,
not scoped to Object Storage alone — VPS egress and bucket egress draw from
the same cumulative monthly pool. For a personal Immich-style workload
(thumbnail/originals fetched by a handful of client devices, not a public
CDN), 2TB/month of combined egress is a lot of headroom — this is
effectively storage-cost-only in practice (~$0.49/100GB/month), with API
calls and typical download volume both landing in the free tier.
