What is Unmetered Hosting and How Does Pricing Work?

Monthly Servers:

First Month:
We offer a 30-day free trial. The first invoice is sent out the month after the free trial expires. For example, if you start the free trial on March 15th, it will expire on April 15th and your first invoice will be emailed to you in May. The invoice in May will include a prorated charge for April 15th through the end of the month in addition to the entire month of May.

Month 2+:

You will be billed in the current month for the full amount of the server. If you create a server or upgrade your current server after the 1st of the month, you will receive a prorated bill for those additions the following month. If you cancel a server after the 1st of the month, you will still be charged for the full month’s services.

Kamatera offers state-of-the-art Intel Xeon Platinum/Ice Lake, 2.6GHz+ processors, and lets you choose the type of CPU that will fit your unique cloud server requirements.

We offer 4 server CPU types from which to choose:

Type A – Availability: Server CPUs are assigned to a non-dedicated physical CPU thread with no resources guaranteed.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 32 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 128GB RAM per server. This is ideal for a variety of general-purpose applications like micro-services, small to medium applications, development environments, container services, or any server use that does not require guaranteed CPU resources.

Pricing starts at $0.00054/hour or $4/month.

Type B – General Purpose: Server CPUs are assigned to a dedicated physical CPU Thread with reserved resources guaranteed.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 128 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 512GB RAM per server. This is typically recommended for all general-purpose scenarios of production-use such as application servers, web servers, database servers, container nodes, storage servers, HPC, etc.

Pricing starts at $0.0123/hour or $9/month.

Type T – Burstable: Server CPUs are assigned to a dedicated physical CPU thread with reserved resources guaranteed.

Exceeding an average CPU usage of 10% will be extra charged for CPU usage consumption.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 128 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 512GB RAM per server. This CPU type is recommended for general-purpose scenarios of production-use such as application servers, remote desktop servers, web servers, storage servers, etc. AND when CPU usage requirements are burstable during a small period of the time used.

Pricing starts at $0.0123/hour + $0.041/hour/CPU (Charged only if exceeding an average of 10% of CPU Usage)

Calculation example:

Server configuration of 8 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, and 50GB of storage will cost $0.0931/hour ($68 for 730 hours) when powered on and $0.0102/hour ($7.50 for 730 hours) when powered off.

If the server is powered on for the whole month (730 hours), and the average CPU Usage of 730 hours is 7%, the server will cost $0.0931 x 730 hours = $67.96.

If the server is powered on for the whole month (730 hours), and the average CPU Usage of 730 hours is 20%, the server will cost $0.0931 x 730 hours + $0.041 x 730 hours x 8 vCPUs x 0.10 percent = $67.963 + $23.944 = $91.91.

Type D – Dedicated: Server CPUs are assigned to a dedicated physical CPU Core (2 threads) with reserved resources guaranteed.

Server configuration is available from 1 vCPU up to 32 vCPUs per server and from 1GB RAM up to 512GB RAM per server.

This can be used for all general-purpose scenarios of production-use such as application servers, web servers, database servers, container nodes, storage servers, HPC, etc.

Pricing starts at as low as $0.026/hour or $19/month.

The 30-day free trial includes 1 server with a configuration worth up to $100 and 1000 GB of traffic.

If you exceed the above limitations, the system prorates the cost of the overage and automatically charges your credit card.

The payment creates a credit on the account that will be applied to your future invoice.

If you were asked to make a deposit before launching your server, it will be applied towards your future invoice or can be refunded upon request if you terminate your server within the 30-day trial.
