Network volume payment and pricing model
Balances
You can pay for network volumes with different types of funds: basic funds or bonuses.
Before you pay, top up your balance.
Payment Model
The pay-as-you-go payment model is used for network volumes. Each hour, your balance is debited for the previous hour of network volume usage.
For example, a network volume was created at 13:59. The bill for the 13:00–14:00 hour will include the full hour of disk usage.
Network volume charges continue to accrue even if the network volume is not connected to the dedicated server, if the server is shut down or blocked.
Each GB of network volume capacity is charged. The cost depends on the type of network volume, disk capacity, and the pool in which it is located.
The disk size can only be increased; for more details, see the instructions Change network volume size.
You can view the network volume size in the control panel: in the top menu, select Products → Dedicated Servers → section Network Volumes and Storage → tab Network Volumes.
If you no longer need the disk, disconnect the network volume from the server and delete it.
Blocking resources if there are insufficient funds on the balance
If there are insufficient funds on your balance at the time of debiting, network volumes will be automatically blocked and disconnected from your servers from the moment of non-payment. You can defer payment for network volumes. Once deferral is activated, the disks will continue to operate on credit for four business days, excluding weekends and holidays. If payment is not made within four days, the network volumes will be blocked. During this time, charges for the disks will continue to accrue.
To restore access, you must top up your balance by the amount owed within three days after the block. After the block is lifted, the network volume will automatically connect to the server, but you may need to update the iSCSI session.
If you do not top up your balance by the amount owed within three days after the block, the network volumes will be removed from the control panel, and the data on them will be deleted. After deletion, a network volume can be restored; to do this, create a ticket.
Blocking a dedicated server for non-payment does not affect the ability to manage network volumes.
To avoid missing balance top-ups, you can set up balance status notifications.
