Transfer is pooled at the account level. Only outbound transfer above the allowance is charged at the region's rate, at the end of the billing period.
Public IP
An instance created without a VPC gets one public IPv4 address. Extra IPv4 addresses need a technical justification and are billed for the hours used, with no monthly cap.

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
