GoGrid Cloud Servers are pre-configured and allow customers to get up and running instantly. Customers have complete control over their images, with root access, the ability to add data and applications, and control the data center location. On deployment, customers can choose from a variety of flexible options like Windows and Linux operating systems with various RAM and core allocations, and persistent "on-machine" storage.
| CPU (cores)** | RAM (GB) | Storage Space (GB) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 0.5 | 25 |
| 1 | 1 | 50 |
| 2 | 2 | 100 |
| 4 | 4 | 200 |
| 8 | 8 | 400 |
| 16* | 16 | 800 |
| 24 | 24 | 800 |
* Windows Cloud Servers deployed with 16 GB RAM are assigned 8 cores, Linux cloud servers with 16 GB of RAM have 16 cores
** Your CPU allocation will vary depending on the profile of the physical node on which your cloud server resides.
GoGrid usage charges for Cloud Servers are based on three components:
Included in the pricing is 24/7 Support and WIN/RHEL OS charges. In other words, you don't have to pay extra to get Support when you need it, and you don't have to pay additional charges for Windows or RHEL OS licensing.
GoGrid offers you the flexibility to deploy on-demand Cloud Servers with Pay-As-You-Go billing by the hour or to sign up for a pre-paid monthly plan. With our pay-as-you-go option, you simply pay for the compute resources that you consume. There is no commitment, and you are free to cancel at any time. Customers that are willing to pay a monthly fee and commit to a pre-paid plan can save money on their hourly usage charges. In return for their commitment they receive a substantial savings when compared to Pay-As-You-Go.
Pay-As-You-Go
Pay-As-You-Go is the most flexible option available, allowing customers to deploy GoGrid Cloud Servers for as little as $.06/hour. This is the ideal option for customers who want an inexpensive, elastic, reliable, on-demand virtual server with absolutely no commitment or up-front charges. Customers pay for resources by the hour and can increase or decrease the number of servers to meet their needs. Pay-As-You-Go is recommended for:
Hourly RAM Plans
RAM plans are designed to allow customers the ability to save when compared to hourly Pay-As-You-Go usage charges. Customers pre-pay for an allotment of RAM Hours each month and spin up resources as needed. We calculate a RAM Hour as 1 GB of RAM deployed on the GoGrid system for 1 hour. For example if you have a .5 GB server deployed for 3 hours, you will have accrued 1.5 RAM Hours of usage. RAM plans represent a way for customers to save significantly for minimal commitment and are recommended for:
GoGrid offers RAM plans to fit the needs of various customer types, from small businesses all the way up to global enterprises.

With GoGrid, there are no costs associated with inbound data transfer. You will only be charged based on your outbound transfer. Because all inbound data is free, data transfer charges are not charged until you turn the virtual server on and send data. This includes your own bandwidth used to log into the system remotely. There are two ways to pay for data transfer: Pay-As-You-Go or sign up for a pre-paid monthly plan. Estimate your monthly outbound transfer to determine the best fit transfer plan for your project.
| Transfer Pricing | Monthly Cost | List Price | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay-As-You-Go | On-Demand | $0.12 | No overage |
| Transfer 500 GB | $55 | $0.11 | $0.12 |
| Transfer 3.6 TB | $375 | $0.10 | $0.12 |
| Transfer 20 TB | $1,850 | $0.09 | $0.12 |
| Transfer 57 TB | $4,500 | $0.08 | $0.12 |
| Transfer 100 TB | $5,999 | $0.06 | $0.06 |
Persistent "on-the-box" storage is included with each virtual machine at no additional charge. Unlike many competitors, GoGrid doesn't require customers to use our Cloud Storage offering in order to use GoGrid. GoGrid Cloud Storage is a scalable and reliable file-level backup service for Windows and Linux Cloud Servers running in the GoGrid cloud. Accessible over the private network, storage allotments scale on-the-fly and you pay only for what you use, allowing you to keep costs low. Key benefits:
All GoGrid customers receive 10 GB of free Cloud Storage per month. Billing for Cloud Storage begins after a customer exceeds the initial 10 GB of storage per month.
Technical documentation, including Frequently Asked Questions about On-Demand Cloud Servers are available on the GoGrid Wiki.
Step-by-step instructions on how to deploy a Cloud Server are also available on the Wiki.
GoGrid is committed to offering competitive pricing for its products, and for a limited time is offering reduced Pay-As-You-Go pricing in addition to more cost-effective RAM and Transfer Plan pricing. Customers on a plan have the option to upgrade or change plans at the end of their term. Contact your sales representative if you need help, or submit a ticket through the customer portal. Existing Pay-As-You-Go customers must contact sales and change to the new Pay-As-You-Go hourly plan to receive the promotional pricing.
