Notes:

To the Operating System, these virtual CPUs appear like physical CPUs and therefore may impact your OS and/or software licensing.

Customers automatically become eligible for more CPUs the more memory they buy (see light blue area)

Customers have the option to buy additional CPUs at incremental cost (see darker blue area).

Microsoft Windows OS licensing

Windows Server 2003 Edition	Max. RAM	Max. CPUs	Charge
Windows Standard Server 2003 R2 (32-bit)	4Gb	4	£0.03 / hour
Windows Standard Server 2003 R2 (64-bit)	32Gb	4	£0.03 / hour

Notes:

These costs are per VDS per hour

The RAM/CPU limitations are dictated purely by Microsoft.

The above costs are subject to Microsoft Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA) conditions which may vary or change over time.

Storage

Storage Volume	Cost per GB
Less than 1TB	£0.30 per month
> 1TB - 10TB	£0.28 per month
> 10TB	£0.26 per month

Notes:

As our storage model is persistent, storage costs will be incurred even when a Virtual Dedicated Server is stopped.

We only charge you for what you really use – e.g. if we provision a virtual disk of 20Gb but you only store 4Gb of data inside this disk, you will be charged only for the 4Gb.

Data Transfers

Type	Cost per GB
Uploads	£0.07
Downloads < 1TB per month	£0.10
Downloads > 1TB – 5TB per month	£0.09
Downloads > 5TB per month	£0.08

Notes:

Data transfers between FlexiScale Virtual Dedicated Servers and our storage back-end are free of charge in both directions.

Uploading is transferring data into your server, downloading is retrieving data from your server.

Optional Services

Service	Cost per Hour
Firewalling	£0.01 / hour per IP address
Load Balancing	£0.02 / hour per IP address

Note: Fully integrated Load Balancing is available from June 2008.
