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.
Beginning October 1, 2024, we're updating our billing model for Vultr GPU products. We will transition from our traditional 28-day, 672-hour monthly billing cycle to the industry-standard 730-hour month for new deployments. For example, if the plan previously billed $0.179 per hour for 672 hours a month, the new rate will be $0.165 per hour over the actual number of hours each month.
Information regarding the usage of block storage with our Linux and Windows instances can be found here.
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.
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.
No. Block storage can only be attached to instances deployed in the same region.
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.
