Flexible plans
The Flexible plan allows users to configure their Cloud Server with the number of CPU cores and the amount of system memory and storage as required. Each resource can be configured independently from the other allowing a wide range of Cloud Server setups.
Configuration ranges
By selecting the Flexible plan, users can adjust CPU and system memory resources on a fine-grain control. Flexible plans allow the following ranges of resource configurations:
- CPU 1 – 20 cores in 1-core increments
- Memory 1 – 128 GB in 1 GB increments
- Storage 10 GB – 4 TB in 1 GB increments, up to 8 storage devices
Billing per hour
Flexible plans are billed per hour according to the used resources without bundling. The estimated monthly cost is displayed in the UpCloud Control Panel in the server settings under the Resize menu. The resources are billed for every day of the month as opposed to the set plans which are only billed for 28 days per month.
How Flexible plan Cloud Servers are billed when shut down
Flexible plans also give users additional control over the costs of their cloud resources. Cloud Servers using Flexible plans are only billed for their storage, backups and network resources such as IP addresses and SDN private networks when powered down. When shutdown, CPU and RAM resources are not billed.
