What Is the Difference Between Subscription and Burst Use?

billing subscription burst pricing comparison

Go2Cloud offers two pricing models to suit different usage patterns:

Monthly Subscriptions are the most cost-effective option for servers that run continuously. You pay a fixed monthly price for a set amount of resources, regardless of how many hours your servers actually run during that period. Subscriptions include a 20% discount compared to hourly rates.

Hourly Burst pricing is designed for servers that do not run around the clock. You deposit a prepay balance, and charges are deducted automatically for each hour of resource usage. This model offers maximum flexibility since you only pay for the hours you use.

Choose subscriptions for predictable, always-on workloads. Choose burst for development servers, testing environments, or any use case with variable uptime.

Can I Combine Subscription and Burst Billing?

Yes. Subscribe for resources you use continuously (like disk space) and pay burst rates for resources you only need occasionally (like CPU and memory).

How Does Billing Work?

Go2Cloud accounts are prepaid. Choose on-demand billing, subscribe for a 20% discount, or combine both. Pay by credit card online.

How Do I Purchase Subscriptions or Add Balance?

Purchase subscriptions from the Subscriptions page and add prepay balance from the Billing page in your control panel.
