FAQ

How am I billed for my instances?

All servers on your account are billed hourly up to the monthly rate cap. The hourly rate is determined by dividing the monthly rate by 672 hours (28 days). If your server is online for more than 672 hours in a calendar month, you will only be billed the monthly rate. Accumulated charges are invoiced to your account on the 1st of every month.

If you upgrade your instance to a larger plan, the instance will appear on separate invoice line items in the month you upgraded. Each line item will bill at the hourly rate associated with the plan for the actual number of hours during that period of time. Because of this, you may be billed more than 672 hours (up to the actual number of hours in that month) during a month that you have upgraded your instance.

How do I attach block storage to my instances?

Information regarding the usage of block storage with our Linux and Windows instances can be found here.

Do you charge for stopped instances?

Yes, instances in a stopped state continue to reserve dedicated system resources (RAM, SSD storage, IP aliases, vCPU) and therefore incur charges until you destroy the instance. If you wish to no longer accumulate charges for a virtual machine, please use the DESTROY button in the customer portal.

Can I upgrade my block storage?

Yes, you can modify the size for your block storage within the members area. Please note that this will require a reboot of the instance in which your block storage is attached.

Can I mount block storage to different regions?

No. Block storage can only be attached to instances deployed in the same region.

Can I downgrade my block storage?

No, because of potential data loss you cannot perform an in-place downgrade of block storage, but you can use these steps to migrate your files to a smaller block storage subscription.
