CDN payment and pricing model
Balance
For CDN payments, depending on the type of balance in the account, a single balance or the balance of the storage and CDN is used.
You can pay for CDN with different types of funds: basic funds, bonuses.
Before you start using the CDN , top up your balance with at least 500 ₽.
Payment Model
CDN is paid monthly according to the tariff plan. The tariff plan determines the payment amount and traffic package for all CDN resources in the account. Additional traffic, which is consumed in excess of the tariff plan, is charged and paid separately.
When you create your first CDN resource and it becomes ACTIVE, the plan traffic package becomes available for the account. The first plan payment is debited on the first day of the next calendar month. The next payments under the tariff plan are deducted automatically on the first day of each month. Debiting occurs if there are ACTIVE resources in the account.
To stop being charged, disable all CDN resources in your account.
Rate plan
The tariff plan includes a package of traffic that is spent on all CDN resources in the account. The package includes:
- 100 GB of source traffic is from the source to the caching servers;
- 800 GB of external traffic — from caching CDN servers to users.
Additional traffic
Additional traffic — traffic that is consumed in excess of the tariff plan. Additional traffic is charged per GB and is paid separately according to the pay-as-you-go model. Funds for additional traffic are debited every hour. Charges may be delayed due to peculiarities of consumption data collection from caching servers.
Blocking CDN if there are insufficient funds on the balance
If the balance of the service is insufficient at the time of debiting, the creation of new CDN resources will be blocked. At the same time, the existing CDN resources will continue to work, and the consumed traffic will be charged as a debt. After 14 days from the date of insufficient funds, the resources will be disconnected with full cache clearing.
If you do not replenish your balance by the amount owed within 30 days of the shortage, all CDN resources will be deleted without the possibility of recovery. As long as the disabled resources have not been deleted, you can pay the debt and reactivate them.
Debt is not burned off after resources are deleted.
For example, you have used up a package of traffic according to the tariff, and on June 18, the funds on your balance were not enough to pay for traffic in excess of the package. Creation of new CDN resources was immediately blocked. Existing resources continued to work, the consumed traffic started to be charged as a debt. On July 1, the tariff payment was added to the debt.
On July 3, 14 days after the debt was incurred, the resources were disconnected with cache clearing. Let's assume that the amount owed was 710 ₽ — for a package of traffic and traffic in excess of the package. Within three days, the system received accurate data on consumption, and the amount rose to 715 rubles. If payment is not received by July 19, 30 days after the debt was incurred, the resources will be deleted without the possibility of recovery.

Prices
The price of a CDN adds up:
- from the cost of the tariff plan — the price of the package is fixed and does not depend on the number of resources;
- the cost of additional traffic consumed in excess of the package. The price per 1 GB is set for each consumption range (up to 10 TB, from 10 to 30 TB, etc.). When the consumption reaches the next threshold, the price per 1 GB decreases.
