VPS Hosting Pricing

You will be billed monthly on the anniversary of the date you registered for the Atlantic.Net Cloud. You will only be billed for the cloud servers you deploy and the data transfer used in the previous month.

For a detailed billing section in the Cloud Control Panel, navigate to Account Info → Payment and Billings. Here you can update your payment information and view your entire billing history and activity. You can also create billing alerts for added peace of mind.

Atlantic.Net offers a clear breakdown of billing costs prior to deploying a VPS. The cost of each VPS plan is shown right before you click deploy.

We offer three types of payment terms:

1. A pay-as-you-go pricing model
2. One-year commitment discounted rate
3. Three-year commitment discounted rate

The pay-as-you-go pricing model has no minimum fee: you can spin up a server for 5 hours or 5 months and you will only be charged for what you use.

You pay for the services you need for as long as you want to use them, with no need for long-term contracts or complex licensing agreements.

Cloud services are billed on an hourly basis up to the monthly cap rate. The hourly rate is determined by dividing the monthly rate by 672 hours (28 days). If you use a service for more than 672 hours in a month, you will only be billed for the monthly rate.

VPS pricing varies significantly depending on the provider. Typically, billing is associated with the resources allocated: CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. Additional charges may exist for advanced features or specific contract terms.

Hourly billing is increasingly popular because it provides flexibility for short-term projects or testing environments. Atlantic.Net supports hourly pay-as-you-go billing and offers discounts for longer-term commitments (annual or multi-year plans).

It's worth comparing pricing from different providers while also considering performance, reliability, customer support, and additional features that contribute to overall value.

Atlantic.Net offers four main categories of VPS plans on the ACP:

• General Purpose: balanced performance and cost, suitable for most applications.
• Storage Optimized: high-performance storage for databases or projects with heavy I/O.
• Memory Optimized: fast RAM for applications requiring significant memory resources, such as databases.
• Compute Optimized: high computational power for demanding applications like gaming or media processing.

The best choice depends on your specific requirements. Consider the nature of your applications, expected workload, and resource demands when selecting a plan. Reach out to our support team for further help.

Pre-paid billing requires payment in advance for services, while post-paid billing lets you pay after using the services. Billing flexibility is important for our customers: some clients prefer to pay upfront, others require payments on demand. With ACP you get that flexibility and more.

Why choose pre-paid?

• Cost control: pay upfront for a specific period, avoiding unexpected charges.
• Budgeting: predictable expenses, easier to plan finances.
• No credit checks: suitable for individuals or businesses with limited credit history.
• Potential discounts: Atlantic.Net offers deep discounts for 1- to 3-year commitments.

Why choose post-paid?

• Flexibility: pay only for resources used, ideal for variable workloads.
• Scalability: easily upgrade or downgrade resources as needed.
• No upfront costs: no need to commit to a large payment upfront.
• Better cash flow: pay for services after they have been used.

The best billing model depends on your specific needs and preferences. Consider your budget, resource requirements, and desired level of flexibility when making a decision.
