Bandwidth Pricing

Bandwidth for your Cloud Servers is calculated separately.

Bandwidth Out 22¢ / GB
Bandwidth In 8¢ / GB

Backup Pricing for Cloud Servers

We offer full image backups on our 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB, and 2048 MB Cloud Servers. Full backups of your Cloud Servers are priced according to the amount of data you are backing up. At any time, there are three backups stored — a daily, a weekly, and a variable backup - and these backups stay attached to the server unless that server is resized above a 2048 MB Cloud Server or until it is deleted. A backup can be used to restore a server or a new server can be cloned from the backup.

For now, backups for 256, 512, 1024, and 2048 Cloud Servers are free of charge.

Soon all servers will support backup. Backups will transfer over to Cloud Files free of charge. Once there, the storage costs only 15¢ per GB (for as much storage as you need), and 1¢ per 500 requests.

Additional IPs

Additional public IP addresses can be purchased for $2 / month.
