How it works in detail

How are services billed?

Our services are billed by the exact time (up to the second) or unit of metering you consume. You credit status is updated every hour. Your account can be setup in either CHF, EUR or USD, depending on your initial legal residence.

How does traffic billing work?

Traffic is billed hourly and takes into account the number of virtual machines running during the last one-hour period. Effectively, there are 1.42 GB of free output traffic per instance. If an instance doesn’t use its free tier, it is reported on other running instances of the same organization. So, with 5 instances running during the last hour, there are 7.1 GB of free output traffic. The exceeding traffic is billed.

traffic bandwidth schema

How does instance snapshot billing work?

Instance Snapshots are billed according to the size of their volume: a snapshot of a 100GiB volume counts for 100GiB. Snapshots are copied outside the compute infrastructure to secondary storage within the same zone, providing a solid data protection solution.

Are powered-off machines billed?

Powered down virtual machines will only be charged for resources still in use. Therefore, the local storage volume and software licenses attached to your instance will still be charged. During the trial period, computing resources are charged even when the machines are stopped. This behavior is converted to the default behavior on first payment.

Which payments methods are accepted?

We accept various secured payment methods, major credit cards such as VISA, MasterCard and American Express as well as PayPal. Post-paid invoicing allows you to also pay by bank transfer.

It is possible to get post-paid invoicing?

Yes, we have a monthly post-paid billing option available upon request. It is activated on a case-by-case basis, depending on volume and payment history. Post-paid Invoicing is also supported in EUR and USD currencies.

Can I scale RAM and CPU?

Through the interface, you will be able to choose between the predefined instances types you see in this page. You can scale up and down to a lower or higher type when you want. You can find more details on how to do so in our scaling documentation.

It is possible to have a bigger volume size?

When creating your instance via the web interface, a range of fixed disk sizes will be suggested, corresponding to the instance type you wish to start. Via the API or CLI, you can choose the initial size from 10GB onward. Once your instance is started, you can expand the disk size as you like by increments of 1GB or greater. The lower and upper limits are specified in the pricing tables. You can find more details on how to scale your disk size in our documentation.

How are subscriptions billed?

Subscriptions are services with a recurring billing, such as DNS. They are charged monthly and are due for full months. If you start a subscription on the 10th of a given month, you will be charged a full month. Likewise, you will be charged for the full month if you cancel your subscription before the end of the month.

Is a volume discount available?

Yes, a volume discount is available for larger workloads with a 12-month commitment. The volume discount is valid for all compute related products in all zones. Find more details in our Volume Discount overview.
