The basics
34.90 €/month excl. VAT
≈ US$39.18 per month
Includes 5 cores, 5 GB of RAM and 50 GB of NVMe: Elastic starts where our biggest plan ends.
The CPU dial
+5.00 €/core
From 5 to 16 cores, one at a time. Processes and I/O grow automatically with each core.
The RAM dial
+5.00 €/GB of RAM
From 5 to 16 GB of memory, one gigabyte at a time. If you're only short of RAM, you only add RAM.
The disk dial
from +2.50 €/10 GB
From 50 to 500 GB of NVMe. And the more disk, the cheaper the next tier ↓
Disk gets cheaper as it grows
marginal bands, like the electricity tariff4.50 € per 10 GB
from 50 to 100 GB
3.50 € per 10 GB
from 100 to 250 GB
2.50 € per 10 GB
from 250 to 500 GB
Each band is charged at its own price: crossing a tier doesn't recalculate all the disk, only the new gigabytes come in cheaper.
There's no fourth dial
A domain doesn't use anything just by existing: what its visits use you already pay for with the CPU and memory controls, and charging you per website as well would be charging twice for the same thing. Put as many projects as you like in the same account; what you pay for is the power they use between them.

Nobody overpays by accident here. You order the starting configuration and adjust the controls from your client area as soon as you have it: it applies in seconds and you're not charged anything at that point. And if what you're running fits in one of our fixed plans, we'll tell you right there — that plan works out cheaper and we'd rather you heard it from us. Compare the three families if you're still not sure.

The three controls are yours from day one, and using them costs nothing. Here's what a month with two changes looks like:

For peaks
Automatic scaling
Your service comes with auto-scaling on, with one step of headroom. If your website runs short, it moves up a step on its own; when the peak passes, it steps back down. You decide how far it can go, and you can turn it off whenever you like.
A peak, seen from your resources
billed by the hourThe cap guarantee
Automatic scaling will never cost you more than having that level ordered all month.
Even if it scales up and down a hundred times. If the individual hours were to add up to the price of a full month at that level, you're charged the full month and not a cent more.
Temporary boost
A campaign, a launch, being in the news: if you know it's coming, turn it on yourself. For 24, 48 or 72 hours your account runs with double the CPU and memory, and when it ends it goes back to your configuration by itself.

Frequently asked questions
You choose the resources, one by one. In a fixed plan, CPU, memory and disk come bundled: if you need more memory, you end up paying for CPU you will not use as well. Here you increase only what you are short of, when you are short of it, and reduce it just as quickly.
When you have outgrown our largest plan, or when your usage varies a lot over the year. If your website fits comfortably in a fixed plan, we will tell you ourselves when you configure it: the fixed plan works out cheaper and we have no interest in selling you the opposite.
You are not charged anything at that moment. The change applies in seconds and the adjustment goes on your next invoice, prorated by the day: if you scaled up, what you had extra is added; if you scaled down, it is deducted. One invoice a month, like your electricity bill, with no one-off charges.
You set a ceiling. If your website hits its limit for a sustained period, we step it up without you having to do anything, and step it back down when the peak passes. It is charged by the hour and can never cost you more than having that level ordered for the whole month would: that is the guarantee, not an extra.
You switch on a temporary boost: it doubles your resources for 24, 48 or 72 hours and then returns to your configuration on its own. You get two included every year. It is meant for launches, campaigns or a news story that is going to bring a sudden rush of visitors.
Yes. Elastic hosting runs on low-density servers, with far fewer accounts per machine than normal shared hosting. That is why it costs what it does.
Whenever you like, and without migrating anything: it is the same account on the same server. It is adjusted on the following invoice like any other change.
Because flexibility and long-term commitment are incompatible. On fixed plans we reward commitment with discounts of up to 38%; here what you are buying is the ability to change your mind whenever you like, and that is paid month by month.
