Payment model and pricing of cloud databases

Balance

Pay cloud platform resources can be different types of funds: fixed assets or bonuses.

Before payment top up.

Payment Model

The cloud platform uses a pay-as-you-go payment model. The balance is debited every hour for the previous hour of usage cloud platform resources and it's also paid for external traffic.

All resources created are paid for, even if they are turned off.

note

For example, you have created a cloud database cluster with resources: vCPU, RAM, and Local Disk. If the cluster suspends, the resources continue to be paid for every hour.

Blocking resources if there are insufficient funds in the balance

If there are insufficient funds on the balance sheet at the time of the write-off to pay, all resources The cloud platform will be automatically blocked — and you will continue to be charged for them.

To regain access to resources, you must top up by the amount of the debt within 14 days after the blocking. The debt for resources that were charged during the blocking period will be automatically repaid. Projects are not blocked — you can delete the entire project or resources via API.

If you do not top up the balance for the amount of the debt within 14 days after the blocking, all resources of the cloud platform will be deleted. Projects will not be deleted.

To avoid missing recharges, you can Set up balance notifications.

External traffic

External traffic is the inbound and outbound traffic between the public address of the cloud platform object and the public address on the Internet. The rest of the traffic is internal traffic.

All projects within one cloud platform account are provided with 3 TB of free external traffic each month. After using the free 3 TB of external traffic, the external traffic is charged at the following rate cloud platform payment models.

The default for the cloud platform is enabled Servercore's basic protection against DDoS attacks. Malicious filtered DDoS traffic is not counted in consumption and is not billed.

Internal traffic

Internal traffic is the inbound and outbound traffic between the public address of a Cloud Platform object and the public address of another Servercore service, such as a Dedicated Server or Object Storage.

Traffic between projects and pools in Servercore's cloud platform is also referred to as internal traffic.

There is no charge for traffic (inbound and outbound) to any other Servercore services on the Cloud Platform side.
