File storage payment model and prices

Balance

You can pay for Cloud Platform resources with different types of funds: main funds or bonuses.

Payment model

The Cloud Platform uses the pay-as-you-go payment model. Funds are debited from the balance every hour for the previous hour of using Cloud Platform resources.

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

Blocking resources due to insufficient funds

If there are insufficient funds on the balance to pay at the time of debiting, all Cloud Platform resources will be automatically blocked — charges for them will continue to accrue.

To restore access to resources, you must top up the balance by the debt amount within 14 days after blocking. The debt for resources billed during the blocking period will be automatically paid off. Projects are not blocked — you can delete the entire project or resources via API.

If you do not top up your balance by the debt amount within 14 days after the blocking, all resources will be deleted. Projects are not deleted in this process.

To avoid missing balance top-ups, you can set up balance notifications.

External traffic

External traffic is the inbound and outbound traffic between the public address of a Cloud Platform object and a public address on the internet. All other traffic is considered internal.

Every month, 3 TB of free outbound traffic is provided for all projects within a single Cloud Platform account. After using the free 3 TB, outbound traffic is billed according to the Cloud Platform payment model.

By default, basic Servercore DDoS protection is enabled for Cloud Platform. Malicious filtered DDoS traffic is not counted toward 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 S3.

Traffic between projects and pools in the Servercore Cloud Platform is also considered internal.

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

View usage

You can view the current cost of all cloud infrastructure, consumption, and payment for infrastructure and external traffic in the control panel: in the top menu, click Products → Cloud Servers → Platform Consumption section.

Current cost

Current cost is the amount of money that the current cloud infrastructure configuration consumes over a specific period of time.

You can view the current cost in the control panel: in the top menu, click Products → Cloud Servers → Platform Consumption → Current Cost tab.

You can view the current cost of specific projects, resources, and pools by hour, day, or month.

Infrastructure cost data is updated every hour. In the Control panel, it is displayed 5–35 minutes after the actual changes to the infrastructure and its cost. Recently deleted resources may continue to be displayed in the Control panel until the next data update. However, resource billing stops from the hour following their deletion.

Consumption and billing charts

You can view infrastructure consumption and payment charts in the control panel: in the top menu, click Products → Cloud Servers → Platform Consumption → Expense Chart tab → Consumed and Paid tabs.

You can view the consumption of specific projects, objects, resources, regions, and pools. Consumption and billing charts can be viewed for a specific time period or sorted by days, weeks, months, or years.

To export consumption and payment details in .csv format, click Download CSV and select how rows will be grouped in the export (by hours, days, weeks, months, years).

All resource suspensions are displayed on consumption charts and payment charts.

Traffic

You can view external traffic consumption for the current month in the control panel: in the top menu, click Products → Cloud Servers → Platform Consumption → External Traffic tab.

To export hourly consumption details for external and internal traffic across all public IP addresses of the account in .csv format, select a period and click Download CSV. You can only export details for the last three months.
