CDN payment and pricing model
Balance
To pay for a CDN, depending on the type of balance in the account, the following is used single balance or storage and CDN balance.
You can pay for a CDN in a number of ways types of funds: fixed assets, bonuses.
Before you start using a CDN top up by at least 500 ₽.
Payment Model
CDN is payable monthly at tariff plan. The tariff plan determines the payment amount and traffic package for all CDN resources of one provider in the account. Additional traffic which is consumed in excess of the tariff plan is charged and paid for separately.
When you create the first CDN resource and he goes into a status ACTIVEThe traffic package according to the provider's tariff plan becomes available for the account. The first payment under the tariff plan is deducted 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. The debiting occurs if there are resources of this provider in the account status ACTIVE.
So that the funds stop being debited, disable all CDN resources in the account.
Tariff plans
The tariff plan includes a package of traffic that is spent on all CDN resources of one provider in the account:
- for Selectel CDN — 800 GB of traffic from caching servers to users, 100 GB of traffic from source to caching servers;
- for Akamai CDN — 215 GB of traffic from caching servers to users, traffic from source to caching servers is not counted.
Additional traffic
Additional traffic — traffic that is consumed in excess of the following tariff plan. Additional traffic is charged and billed separately by pay-as-you-go models. Funds for additional traffic are debited every hour. Charges may be delayed due to the peculiarities of collecting consumption data from cache 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, within 30 days of the shortfall, you do not top up for the amount of the debt, all CDN resources will be deleted without the possibility of recovery. Until the disabled resources have been deleted, you can pay the debt and reactivate.
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 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 the traffic package 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.
