Pricing & Billing FAQs
What does the free trial include?
Flexible includes a 5-day free trial, no credit card required.
The trial doesn’t include AWS or Google Cloud. You can try DigitalOcean, Vultr, or Linode during the trial, and upgrade later if you want either of the other two.
When the trial ends, your server is deleted. However, if you upgrade by adding a payment method, your server is automatically restored, along with your apps, setup, and data.
Can I run servers on different pricing plans and different cloud providers?
Yes. Every server on your account is independent. When you launch a new one, you pick its plan and its cloud provider from scratch; it has nothing to do with what you chose for any other server.
Can I launch more than one application?
Yes, there’s no limit to how many applications you can launch on a single server.
The number of sites a server can handle depends on things like CMS type, traffic, and what each site actually does. Check your server’s CPU and RAM usage in the dashboard, and if either one sits above 80% consistently, that’s your sign to move up to a bigger plan.
What happens if I change my plan midway through the month?
Your new plan starts right away. Billing for your old plan stops the moment you switch, and billing for the new one begins.
For example, if you’re on Plan 1 and switch to Plan 2 on the 15th, your invoice will show 15 days of Plan 1 and the remaining days of the month billed at Plan 2’s rate.
When will I be charged?
You’re billed after you’ve used the service. Usage is tracked hourly throughout the month. On the 1st, you’ll get an invoice covering the full calendar month that just ended. Learn more about how Cloudways billing works.
You’ll get an email when your invoice is ready.
Do you charge differently for servers in different regions?
Yes, but only for two of the five cloud providers, AWS and Google Cloud.
When you launch a server on Flexible, you have the option to choose from five cloud providers: AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode.
If you pick AWS or Google Cloud, the price depends on the region you select, since those two charge different rates depending on where your server is located, usually cheaper in North America and Europe, and more expensive in Asia Pacific and South America.
DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode charge the same price no matter where your server is hosted.
Whichever provider you go with, you’ll always see the exact price for your region before you commit to launching.
What if I exceed my bandwidth?
If you exceed your bandwidth, your server won’t stop working; you’ll simply be charged for the extra amount used.
Rates depend on your cloud provider; see our full bandwidth charges guide:
AWS: $0.12/GB
Google Cloud: $0.10 to $0.17/GB, depending on region
DigitalOcean: $0.02/GB
Linode: $0.02/GB
Vultr: $0.01/GB in North America and Western Europe, $0.025/GB in Singapore and Tokyo, $0.05/GB in Sydney
Is there a way to get an idea of the costs before I launch a server?
Yes, and you don’t even need an account to check. You can use our pricing calculator to estimate your monthly cost based on your traffic, provider, and server size.
Once you sign up & start setting up a server, you’ll see the exact monthly cost for your plan, size, and cloud provider before you confirm anything. For AWS and Google Cloud specifically, prices can vary by region, so check the price for your actual region rather than the lowest one listed.
Keep in mind, off-site backups are billed separately at $0.033/GB (roughly $0.50 per 15 GB), and tax may apply depending on your country; see our Fiscal Taxes Handling guide for the full list of countries and rates.
Can I see an estimate of my current month’s bill before it’s finalized?
Yes. Go to Billing > Overview and scroll to Month-to-Date Summary. It estimates your charges so far, plan costs, overages, and any applicable tax, updated as you go.
This is an estimate and may differ slightly from your final invoice due to usage and rounding.
How does 24/7/365 support work?
A real support engineer is always available, through live chat or ticketing, on every plan, at every hour.
You can also use our Advanced and Premium Support add-ons for even faster response times and more direct access. Additionally, you can reach us at [email protected].
Do you charge tax on monthly invoices?
Cloudways applies tax based on your country, confirmed by your billing address. You can see the full list of countries where tax applies, and the specific rate for each, in our Fiscal Taxes Handling guide. If your country isn’t listed there, tax generally isn’t applied to your invoices.
If you’re a registered business in an eligible location, you can apply for a tax exemption by entering a valid Tax ID (VAT or GST ID) through the Cloudways platform. Once it’s verified, the exemption applies to future invoices only; tax already charged on past invoices can’t be refunded.
Do you only offer monthly plans? Can I pay annually?
You can add funds to your Cloudways wallet in advance, enough to cover roughly 12 months of estimated costs, and your invoices get deducted automatically from that balance as they’re issued. This gives you an annual-style experience even though billing itself is monthly and usage-based behind the scenes.
What payment methods are accepted?
You can pay using a credit or debit card, Visa, Mastercard, or Amex, or through PayPal.
How do I cancel my Cloudways account?
To cancel your Cloudways account, you’d need to delete your servers and deactivate any paid add-ons; that’s what actually stops billing. You’ll still receive a final invoice for usage up to the date of cancellation. If you have no active servers or resources, you won’t be charged, even if your account stays open.
. What happens if I decide to cancel Cloudways?
In the unfortunate event you decide to cancel, start by deleting your servers and any add-on subscriptions, that’s what stops future charges. You’ll still receive a final bill for anything used up to that point.
Once you click Delete Account, everything tied to it is removed for good. There’s no way to recover it afterward, so only take this step once you’re completely sure.
What happens if I stop my server?
Nothing changes on your bill. Stopping a server just pauses it; the resources are still allocated to your account, so billing continues exactly as if it were running.
How is the hourly rate actually calculated?
It depends on which cloud provider you choose when setting up your server.
For DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode, your hourly rate is your monthly plan price divided by 672 hours (28 days). If you run your server for a full month, your total is capped at the advertised monthly price, even in a 30- or 31-day month, so those extra 2 to 3 days are effectively free.
For AWS and Google Cloud, the hourly rate is calculated using a 30-day month instead.
Either way, if you use less than a full month, you’re only charged for the hours your server was actually active.
Can I disable backup charges?
No, backups are mandatory and can’t be turned off. They keep your server data safe if something goes wrong.
How does Cloudways charge my invoice?
Your saved payment method is charged automatically once your invoice is generated on the 1st of each month. If that charge fails, you’ll get an email so you can update your payment details and complete it.
What happens if my payment doesn’t go through?
If your payment doesn’t go through, we’ll retry it, then try any backup payment method you’ve added, and email you if both fail. From there, here’s what to expect if the invoice stays unpaid:
Day 7: Your dashboard gets restricted, though your servers keep running. You’ll be warned that suspension is 48 hours away.
Day 10: Your servers and apps are stopped. Your data’s still there, just inaccessible.
Day 13: Applications and servers get deleted, along with a final warning that backups could be next.
Day 28: Backups and anything left are permanently deleted, with no way to get them back.
We recommend updating your payment method as soon as that first email lands.
