FAQ
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.
Yes, servers in a "stopped" state continue to reserve the machine for your use and therefore incur charges until you release this server. If you wish to no longer accumulate charges for a server, please use the DESTROY button in the customer portal.
Bare Metal instances offer direct access to dedicated servers with no noisy neighbors. Compared to compute instances which are deployed in a virtualized cloud environment, bare metal grants you unrestricted access to the underlying physical servers making these servers suitable for even the most resource intensive workloads.
