Servers Pricing
How server sizes are priced, why a stopped server still costs money, and what deleting one credits back.
A server is priced per size. There is no rate table here because there is no single rate: each size carries its own monthly price, and the create flow lists every size with its price and specs so you can compare them before choosing.
What a size includes
Each size fixes four things, and its monthly price covers all of them:
- vCPU
- memory
- SSD disk
- a monthly transfer allowance
Nothing is metered on top. CPU time, disk operations, and transfer within the allowance do not generate separate charges.
The create flow lists every size with its monthly price and its specs, and shows the prorated amount due today before you confirm.
A stopped server is still billed
Stopping a server powers it off but keeps its disk and its IP address reserved for you, which is what allows it to start again with its data and address intact. Because those resources are still held, the server keeps its price.
To stop being billed, delete the server.
This is the single most common surprise on a server invoice, so it is worth stating plainly: powering off does not reduce the bill.
Deleting a server
Deleting stops the billing immediately and credits the unused part of the current period to your project's credit balance. The disk and its data are destroyed with it — take a snapshot or a backup first if you need the contents.
See Removing Resources and Credits for how the credit is applied.
Past-due servers
If a payment fails and the subscription goes past due, servers are stopped. Being stopped for non-payment does not pause billing — the resource is still allocated. Restoring the payment method starts them again; see Payment Lifecycle.
