Payment model and prices of a dedicated server
Balance
You can pay for a dedicated server with different types of funds: basic funds or bonuses.
Before paying top-up balance.
Payment Model
When ordering a dedicated server, you need to select pricing plan and traffic consumption model for it. The tariff plan determines the length of the paid period and the amount of payment. Traffic consumption model — limits of traffic included in the tariff plan.
The first tariff period starts on the day the dedicated server is handed over. This day will be a payday. The payment day, payment amount and tariff period duration can be viewed in control panel on the server page → Services tab. If necessary, you can change-billing-option-and-payment-day. When the tariff period ends, the server is automatically extended for the same period.
The payment is debited in a lump sum for the entire period. When paying, the bonuses are deducted first, then the basic funds. If the bonuses are not enough, the balance is deducted from the fixed assets based on the calculation of the daily cost of the server — per day by one type of funds.
When ordering additional services for a dedicated server, they are paid according to the additional-services-payment-model.
If the dedicated server is no longer needed, disable the server.

Change tariff plan and payment day
When you change the rate plan and payday for a server, the rate plan and payday for its optional-services-payment-model will change.
- In Control Panel, go to Servers and Hardware → Servers.
- From the server card menu, select Change Rate Plan and Payment Day. The default payment day is the day the server is handed over. If the server was ordered on the first of September and delivered on the third of September, the payment day will be the third day.
- Select a new rate plan.
- Optional: enter a new payday.
- Click Save Changes. The next payday will not change. The payday will only change in the next rate period.
Blocking if there are insufficient funds on the balance
If at the moment of debiting there are not enough funds on the balance for full payment, the server will be extended and continue to be charged daily for some time, depending on the tariff plan:
- server with tariff plans 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months — after four days the ports of access to the local network and the Internet are blocked, after 10 days it is deleted without the possibility of recovery;
- server with 1 day tariff plan — access is blocked immediately, after 24 hours it is deleted without possibility of recovery.
Holidays and weekends are not included in the calculation.
If there are not enough funds on the balance to pay for a day, the server will be charged in debt. The debt doesn't burn off after the server is deleted.
If the money takes a long time to arrive or there is no possibility to top up the balance, legal entities can arrange a deferred payment for up to five days.
Ancillary services payment model
When ordering additional services, their payment model depends on the type of service:
- services with payment by server tariff plan — tied to the tariff plan of the dedicated server, renewed and paid automatically together with it. Services will continue to be billed until the dedicated server is terminated. To stop being charged, disconnect the service;
- services with own payment period — payment period is selected when ordering services, extended and paid automatically. Dedicated server actions do not affect service status. To stop being charged, disconnect the service;
- services with one-time payment — paid one-time at the moment of connection and are not automatically prolonged.
