| Free tier | 1 TB to 100 TB of booked storage per account, up to 30 million objects per bucket unit TB; metered on unstated; 1 TB is the minimum of the page's booked-storage control (min 1, max 100, step 1) and the 100 TB ceiling is stated in the specification block; the smallest configuration the order page offers is 1 TB |
|---|---|
| Price | EUR 3.95 per TB per month, prepaid, at every booked size from 1 TB to 100 TB; the page publishes no volume discount and no other rate. |
| Limits |
Prepaid, TB-based: the booked capacity is paid for whether or not it is used. 100 TB per account and 30 million objects per bucket. The product page publishes no S3 endpoint hostname, so the endpoint comes from the customer panel. |
| Binding | volume-quota the 100 TB per account cap ends the booking; the per-bucket object count (30 million) is the other ceiling, and the page states no per-object size cap |
| Identity | email registration takes a username, an email address and a password; ordering needs a password-protected customer account and prepayment, and the terms allow card, PayPal, SEPA, bank transfer or cryptocurrency |
| Egress | Ingress is free and unlimited; egress includes 10 TB per 1 TB of booked storage, so the included volume scales with the booking. Egress beyond that ratio has no published price. free allowance: 10 TB per 1 TB of booked storage |
| Per-object cap | No largest single object is stated. The order page states a 100 TB maximum size per bucket and 30 million files per bucket; the product page states a 100 TB maximum capacity per account and up to 30 million objects per bucket. Neither page states a per-object size limit. |
| Retention | Data is kept for the paid term; on expiry the service is suspended and the associated data and content are permanently deleted after a grace period of three days. |
| Interface | s3-compatible, rclone, cli S3 API, IAM, 30 M objects/bucket |
| Tooling | any S3 SDK, rclone, s3cmd, restic |
| Composes with | native S3 → Cloudflare in front → presigned URLs; no wrapper needed |
| Reliability | Small German host (AS203446), Equinix FRA-05/07/08. Payment methods verified on their KVM page: PayPal, credit card, Sofort, Giropay, EPS, Paysafecard, Przelewy24, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Alipay, Monero, bank transfer. Best payment friction profile of any EU host here for a non-EU buyer. |
| Evidence note | documented the product page, its German edition, the terms and the order configuration were read and quoted; free tier, limits, egress, identity, retention and interface each cite a capture |

| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the account-level capacity ceiling is 100 TB |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the per-bucket object count ceiling is 30 million |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the included egress is a 10:1 ratio to booked storage, not a fixed volume |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/tos | an order cannot be placed without an account, and the registration form asks only for username, email and password |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | ingress is free and unlimited, so only egress is metered |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the interface is an S3-compatible API |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the booked-storage control runs from 1 TB to 100 TB in 1 TB steps, so the 1 TB lower bound is published and not inferred |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/cp/order/config/7/5be0094e-d0ff-43ab-baf6-3fa4f71 | the smallest configuration the order page presents is one terabyte |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the account-level capacity ceiling is 100 TB, the upper bound of the range |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/tos | the terms state the deletion timeline after the paid term ends, so retention is stated and not a gap |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/tos | the retention clause is in the terms, so the field names that page as its source |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/tos | the deletion timeline is triggered by the end of the paid term |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | not published |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/cp/order/config/7/5be0094e-d0ff-43ab-baf6-3fa4f71 | the order page states the per-bucket object count the two readings share |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the product page was served and read, so the earlier note about a 404 no longer describes the source |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | not published |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the product page still states the booked-storage price and the 100 TB account ceiling the record carries |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.de/s3-kompatibler-objectstorage-mieten | the German edition carries the same booked-storage control, 1 TB to 100 TB, so the lower bound is published in both languages |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.de/s3-kompatibler-objectstorage-mieten | the German edition states the same 100 TB per account ceiling |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/cp/order/config/7/5be0094e-d0ff-43ab-baf6-3fa4f71 | the order page states the per-bucket capacity ceiling as 100 TB alongside the 30 million object count |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/cp/order/config/7/5be0094e-d0ff-43ab-baf6-3fa4f71 | the cap the order page states is a per-bucket capacity, not a per-object size |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the page gives an object count per bucket and no per-object size |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the pricing page states the prepaid booked-capacity model the field describes |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/cp/order/config/7/5be0094e-d0ff-43ab-baf6-3fa4f71 | the order page states a 100 TB ceiling on the size of a bucket, which is a bucket capacity and not an object size |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the product page states the 100 TB capacity ceiling per account, not per bucket, so it does not carry the per-bucket figure the order page states |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/cp/order/config/7/5be0094e-d0ff-43ab-baf6-3fa4f71 | the order page states the per-bucket file count that the field names |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the product page states the per-bucket object count and states its 100 TB ceiling per account, so the note no longer attributes a per-bucket capacity to both pages |
| 2026-11-01 | datalix.eu/rent-s3-compatible-objectstorage | the product page is live and still states the 100 TB account ceiling, the 30 million objects per bucket, free ingress and the 10 TB egress per 1 TB of booked storage |
