Bandwidth Pricing

Bandwidth for your Cloud Servers™ is calculated separately.

Bandwidth Out 22¢ / GB
Bandwidth In 8¢ / GB

Backup Pricing for Cloud Servers

We offer full image backups on our 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB, and 2048 MB Cloud Servers™. Full backups of your Cloud Servers™ are priced according to the amount of data you are backing up. At any time, there are three backups stored — a daily, a weekly, and a variable backup - and these backups stay attached to the server unless that server is resized above a 2048 MB Cloud Server or until it is deleted. A backup can be used to restore a server or a new server can be cloned from the backup.

For now, backups for 256, 512, 1024, and 2048 Cloud Servers™ are free of charge.

Soon all servers will support backup. Backups will transfer over to Cloud Files™ free of charge. Once there, the storage costs only 15¢ per GB (for as much storage as you need), and 1¢ per 500 requests.

Additional IPs

Additional public IP addresses can be purchased for $2 / month.

Apex IT Group Cloud Files Solution

Upload Files To The Cloud - Store and manage unlimited files—each up to 5 GB in size—using our online control panel, desktop software, or programmatically via the API.

Pay Only For What You Use - Unlike traditional storage solutions, thereʼs nothing to buy and no upfront costs for Cloud Files™. Youʼll pay only for the file storage space and outgoing bandwidth that you actually use.

Keep Data Private or Share It Publically - Each container that you create for your files can be marked as either private or public.

What is Cloud Files?

Cloud Files™ is a cost-effective, internet-based, infinite-sized, redundant storage offering. Cloud Files™ allows users to store/retrieve files via a simple Web Service (ReST: Representational State Transfer). Files can range in size from a few bytes up to 5 gigabytes and your storage grows or shrinks based on your usage. Add as much or as little as you want without worrying about over-buying/under-utilizing or running out of space. With Cloud Files, you pay for what you use and how much you use is up to you.

Who was Cloud Files™ built for?

Developers interested in using Cloud Files™ should be familiar with any of the following: ReSTful web-services, Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, or C#/.NET.

Cloud Files™ is a great fit for most hosting applications.

Cloud Files™ can be an excellent storage solution for a number of reasons and is well suited for a number of applications:

  • Backups/archives of your data
  • Serving images/videos (streaming data to the user's browser)
  • Secondary/tertiary, web-accessible storage for your data
  • Developer friendly for application integration
  • Well suited when amount of storage is difficult to predict
  • Simple point-and-click interface via our Cloud Control Panel

Cloud Files™ is not a perfect fit for all types of applications.

There are some applications for which Cloud Files™ is not an ideal solution, these include:

  • Native support within your Operating System. It is not possible to "mount" or "map" the Cloud Files™ storage system as a virtual hard-disk on your computer.
  • Disk mirroring or backup solutions that require byte/block level differences. There are no concepts of "append" or "file locking" operations within Cloud Files.
  • Data can be organized into storage compartments called "Containers," but they cannot be nested. Since there is only one top-level of Containers, you will not be able to upload a nested directory/folder structure into Cloud Files™ unless a transformation is performed to flatten the structure.

How much does Cloud Files™ cost to use?

Pricing for Cloud Files™ is broken down to storage usage, data transfer, and requests.

Storage:

  • $0.15/GB

Data Transfer:

  • Data Transfer In : $0.08/GB

  • Data Transfer Out $0.22/GB

Requests:

  • $0.01 per 500 PUT, POST, or LIST requests < 250KB
  • FREE PUT, POST or LIST request for files > 250KB
  • FREE GET, HEAD or DEL Request

Other CDN costs:

  • No request/operation charges
  • No bandwidth charge from Cloud Files™ to CDN
