Network volume payment and pricing model
Balances
To pay for network drives, depending on the balance type, the unified balance or primary balance is used.
You can pay for resources using different types of funds: primary funds or bonuses.
Before paying, top up the balance.
Payment Model
A pay-as-you-go payment model is used for network volumes. Your balance is debited every hour for the previous hour of network volume usage.
For example, a network volume was created at 13:59. The bill for the 13:00–14:00 hour will include the full hour of disk usage.
Network volume charges continue to accrue even if the network volume is not connected to the dedicated server, if the server is shut down or blocked.
Each GB of network drive size is charged. The cost depends on the network drive type, drive size, and the pool in which it is located.
The drive size can only be increased; for details, see the Change network drive size instructions.
You can view the network drive size in the Control panel: in the top menu, select Products → Dedicated Servers → Network drives and storage section → Network drives tab.
If the drive is no longer needed, disconnect the network drive from the server and delete it.
Blocking resources if there are insufficient funds on the balance
If there are insufficient funds on the balance at the time of charge, the network drives will be automatically blocked and disconnected from your servers starting from the moment of non-payment. For network drives, you can postpone payment. After setting up a payment deferral, the drives will continue to run on credit for four business days, excluding weekends and holidays. If payment is not made within four days, the network drives will be blocked. In this case, charges for the drives will continue to accrue.
To restore access, you need to top up the balance for the amount of the debt within three days after blocking. After the block is lifted, the network drive will automatically connect to the server, but you may need to update the iSCSI session.
If the balance is not topped up with the debt amount within three days after blocking, the network drives will be removed from the control panel, and the data on them will be deleted. After deletion, the network drive can be restored; to do this, create a ticket.
Blocking a dedicated server for non-payment does not affect the ability to manage network drives.
To avoid missing balance top-ups, you can set up balance notifications.
