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.

Storage is RAID-10 protected for superior performance and durability. If a host failure should occur, we bring it back and your data is preserved.

Snapshot based server images—scheduled or on-demand. Useful for creating "gold" images or backups.
All Cloud Servers™ are 64-bit for maximum performance.
Support for multiple public IP addresses.
Shared IPs for high-availability configurations using standard failover tools.

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
