Products and things to know
Virtual servers (Linode)
Rent VPS servers by the hour.
- How billing works
Charges accrue at the hourly rate up to the monthly cap. If you run a service all month, you pay only the monthly rate. Source
If you delete a service partway, you pay only for the hours used, as long as that is below the monthly cap. Source
- Data transfer out
Transfer counts against a pooled allowance, not per service. Each service adds a monthly allowance to the pool, prorated by active hours. Source
Traffic inside one datacenter over IPv6, a private VLAN or a VPC does not count toward transfer. Traffic over public IPv4 does. Source
- Easy-to-miss costs
Charges keep accruing for any service on the account, even if it is powered off. Source
Additional IPv4 addresses, GPU Linodes and G8 dedicated CPU Linodes bill only for exact hours used, with no monthly cap. Source
Resizing a plan and back within one cycle bills three separate services, whose total can exceed the original plan's monthly cap. Source
- Limits
Some plans such as GPU, G8 dedicated CPU and Accelerated include no transfer and bill for usage instead. Source
Managed databases (Managed Databases)
Managed databases.
- What it is
A managed database service powered by Aiven, offering MySQL, PostgreSQL and Valkey. Source
- High availability and backups
Automatic daily backups come at no additional cost and are kept for 14 days. You can run point-in-time recovery to any day in the last 14 days. Source
Dedicated CPU plans offer up to three nodes and shared CPU plans one or two. Three-node clusters replicate data and fail over automatically. Source
- Limits
You can restrict connections to specific IP addresses or ranges. Source
Object storage (Object Storage)
Object storage.
- What it is
Amazon S3-compatible object storage, available in more than 20 regions. Source
- How billing works
Cost is determined by stored size, outbound transfer used and any transfer overage. Source
- Data transfer out
Outbound transfer from Object Storage counts toward transfer even when sent to other services in the same datacenter. Source
- Limits
Endpoint types E0 to E3 set performance and limits. After a write, subsequent reads and listings reflect it immediately. Source
