VPS-unlimited pricing

The main rule for VPS-unlimited pricing is as follows: if you do not exceed limits of your current package, you pay the monthly fee. If you use more resources, you pay for extra usage of the resource that was exeeded.

Let's consider the example. We will use VDS B Unlim that has the following parameters:

• Guaranteed memory. 512 MB is included into the package. You can use up to 2048 MB. Extra usage price is 0.02 EUR/MB per month.
• CPU. 900 MHz is included into the package. You can use up to 2400 MHz. Extra usage price is 0.03 EUR/Mhz per month.
• Disk space. 10000 MB is included into the package. You can use up to 50000 MB. Extra usage price is 0.0010 EUR/MB per month.

Calculating memory and CPU extra usage

Extra usage of memory and CPU is calculated in the same manner. All the descriptions below concerning operating memory can be applied to CPU extra usage.

For the memory and CPU pricing we will take 95% of total usage. Information about VPS memory and CPU consumption is collected every 5 minutes. Once 24 hours passed, 5% of the maximum values from all the data collected are excluded and the maximum value from what is left is accounted. This maximum value is 95% of the usage.

For example, on October 27 95% of the operating memory equals to 701MB. VDS B Unlim includes 512 MB. Extra usage price is 0.02 EUR/MB per month. There are 31 days  in October.

Extra usage will cost you (701 - 512) * 0.02 / 31 = 0.1219 EUR. Not so much.

Calculating disk space extra usage

Calculation of the disk space usage is much easier. At the beginning of every 24 hours we will take disk space used and calculate its extra usage.

For example, on October 27 11222 MB of the disk space were consumed. VDS B Unlim includes 10000 MB. Extra usage price is 0.001 EUR/MB per month. There are 31 days in October.

The extra usage price is (11222 - 10000) * 0.001 / 31 = 0.0394 EUR.

Viewing current usage

To track you VPS current usage, go to VDSmanager (do not confuse it with ISPmanager!) - > the "Main system usage" module. You can find a link to VDSmanager in the Welcome letter or in the "Virtual servers" module of the billing.

The "Main system usage" module shows memory and CPU consumption over every 5 minutes. You can see the percentage of your package limits. Please note, the top limit (100% of resources)  for "VDS B" and "VDS B Unlim" is different:

• 100% of memory for VDS B = 512 MB. 100% memory for VDS B Unlim = 2048 MB.
• 100% CPU for VDS B = 900 MHz. 100% CPU for VDS B Unlim = 2400 MHz.
