Changing prices

Admin can add or change resource prices on Admin → Settings page. Prices can be changed for the running month. Changing the prices affects all resource usage from the start of the current month. Usage of resources is counted by the hour in UTC time, so billing reports are being generated on change of month by UTC. During the last 24 hours of the month, prices cannot be changed anymore to avoid misinterpretations in end-user billing reports.

Although the prices of all the products are for Gigabytes, the smallest unit of a RAM or block storage product is actually Megabyte. 1GiB = 1024 MiB. It means that each range ends with a value: N * 1024 -1 MiB where N is the start value of the next range.

  • The last price range of each product does not have the end value.

  • Prices are defined without VAT.

  • In the table there is a unit count: 1 CPU costs 0.007 and 3+ CPUs cost 0.01, it means that this price is always for 1 unit in the defined range.

How to add new prices to the price list?

  1. There is always a DEFAULT price list that applies to all locations of the cloud provider if location-specific prices are not defined.

  2. New locations can be added if they are available

    Image Modified
  3. Missing prices can be added from the bottom of the price list. For convenience estimated price per month is automatically calculated, with the average estimate that one month has 730 hours. This is the same calculation that shows estimated monthly resource prices for the end user.

...

Known caveats

  • Currently, though Object Storage does not have a location defined, it is advised to set the same Object Storage price for all locations. Only the DEFAULT location prices are actually used by the platform, but it would be less confusing to the user if the price is defined for all locations.

Special pricing rules

Floating IP

  • If there are prices set for both Unassigned floating IP and Assigned Floating IP, and if a particular IP had been both assigned and unassigned with 1-hour time frame, then it charged by the price of “Unassigned floating IP” for that hour.
