Payment and pricing model for CDN
Balance
To pay for CDN, depending on the account balance type, a unified balance or a storage and CDN balance is used.
You can pay for CDN with different types of funds: basic funds or bonuses.
Before you start using CDN, top up your balance with 500 ₽ for each resource you plan to create.
Payment model
CDN is paid for monthly according to a tariff plan. The tariff plan determines the payment amount and traffic package for the CDN resource. Additional traffic, which is consumed beyond the tariff plan, is charged and paid for separately.
When you create your first CDN resource and it enters the ACTIVE status, a traffic package for the tariff plan becomes available for the resource. The first payment for the tariff plan is debited on the first day of the next calendar month. Subsequent payments for the tariff plan are automatically debited on the first day of each month. Debiting occurs if there are resources in your account with the status ACTIVE.
To stop funds from being deducted, disable all CDN resources in your account.
Tariff plan
The tariff plan includes a traffic package that is spent on all CDN resources in your account. The package includes:
- 100 GB of origin traffic — from the content origin to CDN servers;
- 800 GB of external traffic — from CDN servers to users.
Additional traffic
Additional traffic is traffic that is consumed beyond the tariff plan. Additional traffic is charged per GB and paid for separately according to the pay-as-you-go model. Deductions occur with a one-day delay due to the specifics of collecting consumption data from CDN servers.
Blocking CDN if there are insufficient funds on the balance
If there are insufficient funds on the service balance at the time of deduction, the creation of new CDN resources will be blocked. In this case, already created CDN resources will continue to operate, and additional traffic will be charged on credit. After 14 days from the moment funds became insufficient, the resources will be disabled with a full cache clearance.
If within 30 days of the moment funds became insufficient you do not top up your balance by the debt amount, all CDN resources will be deleted with no possibility of recovery. While disabled resources have not yet been deleted, you can pay the debt and resume their operation.
To ensure you don’t miss top-ups, you can set up balance status notifications.
For example, you depleted your main traffic package under your tariff plan on June 15. Let’s assume that on June 18, there were insufficient funds on your balance to pay for additional traffic. Creation of new CDN resources was blocked for you. Existing resources continued to operate, and additional traffic for these resources began to be charged on credit. On July 1, the monthly tariff plan fee was added to the debt.
On July 3, 14 days after the debt was incurred, the resources were disabled and the cache was cleared. Let’s assume the debt amount was 710 ₽ — for the traffic package and additional traffic. Within three days of July 3, exact consumption data was received by the system, and the debt amount increased to 715 rubles. On July 19, 30 days after the debt was incurred, the debt had still not been paid, and the resources were deleted with no possibility of recovery.
Resume CDN operation
- Top up the balance used to pay for the service. The debt amount will be deducted from your balance immediately after top-up.
- Wait for the service to be activated; this may take up to 20 minutes.
- Enable the CDN resource.
Prices
CDN price consists of:
- the cost of the tariff plan — a fixed price for each resource;
- the cost of additional traffic. The price per 1 GB is set for each consumption range (up to 10 TB, from 10 to 30 TB, etc.). When consumption reaches the next threshold, the price per 1 GB decreases.
