Frequently asked questions
Are there setup fees or hidden charges?
No setup fee, no provisioning charge and no bandwidth overage billing. The plan price includes the transfer allowance, DDoS mitigation, one IPv4 address, a routed IPv6 /64, three snapshots and the out-of-band console.
Do you bill hourly?
No. We bill monthly, quarterly, annually or biennially, with discounts up to 22%. Hourly billing and crypto settlement do not combine well, and flat pricing means no surprises.
Am I charged for DDoS attack traffic?
Never. Scrubbed attack traffic does not count against your transfer allowance — you are not billed for someone else's packets.
What happens if I exceed my transfer allowance?
We throttle rather than bill, and we tell you first. There is no mechanism by which a month can cost more than the price you agreed.
Can I change plans later?
CPU, RAM and disk can be increased with a short reboot. Shrinking requires a rebuild, so start smaller than you think you need.
