We offer our products under either of two pricing schemes to suit all of our customers:

• By monthly subscription, paid in advance
  This scheme offers the lowest rates for continuous use, and will suit customers who wish to host a website or other ongoing service, with the ability to scale it when demand rises.
• By hourly burst use, deducted from your prepaid balance
  This scheme offers most flexibility for you to start, stop and scale your servers, as and when you need. The hourly rates are higher than our subscription rates, since the demand is less predictable for us.

You can mix and match between these schemes, with burst charges applying when your use goes above your subscribed level. For example, you could subscribe for continuous disk storage, but pay for occasional virtual server use from your prepaid balance.

We accept card payments with Visa or Mastercard. We also accept Google Checkout payments. For sums of £50 or more, we accept bank transfers to our UK bank account.

Monthly subscriptions

Subscriptions offer our lowest rates for continuous use. A subscription covers a given level of use throughout a month. You can run one or more servers up to this level, starting and stopping them as you wish. We offer twelve months of subscription for the price of ten when you buy an annual subscription.

Subject to a minimum rate of £0.001/hour when using disk alone or £0.040/hour when using virtual servers.

† Ratings are relative to a single core of a 2.1GHz AMD "Barcelona" Opteron processor, which scores 2.1 core-GHz. Processor specifications represent the typical level of performance of a virtual server. Performance is guaranteed to be at least half these levels, and will typically meet or exceed them as we allocate spare capacity where it is most needed.

‡ All of our disk storage is persistent when your server is rebooted or stopped.

Hourly burst use

Burst use offers most flexibility for you to start, stop and scale your servers, as and when you need. Burst use is charged in whole hours at twice the hourly rate of subscriptions. Hours are measured by the clock - this means that an hour bought at 1pm expires at 2pm even if you stop the server earlier, but also that if you stop the first server at 1:30pm and start a replacement at 1:40pm then it is still covered until 2pm.

Note that there are minimum balance requirements for burst use above £0.20/hour. Above this level, you must have sufficient balance to cover 14 days of the excess burst use at the point that you add disk space or start a server.
