Pricing

Enterprise pricing and managed service commitments

Our published pricing is designed to stay simple, predictable, and operationally transparent.

  • • Published plans: every size has one fixed monthly price, billed hourly. What you see below is exactly what you are billed.
  • • Shared or dedicated CPU: shared plans are capped for fair use; dedicated plans reserve cores for your workload alone at exactly twice the shared price.
  • • Dedicated customer support for customer issues, including migration. Round-the-clock monitoring and off-site backup. 99.99% uptime guarantee.
  • • KYC-approved enterprise-only cloud, with lower risk of random attack vectors from within the platform.
  • • Our data centers are proudly hosted on 100% renewable-energy backed electricity.

Virtual machines
