Pricing

Resized volumes use same per-GB rates:

Advanced Tier Pricing:

Type	USD	EUR	INR
NVMe	$0.30/GB/mo	€0.35/GB/mo	₹30/GB/mo
HDD	$0.08/GB/mo	€0.10/GB/mo	₹8/GB/mo

Billing:

Immediate adjustment to new size

Charged hourly for total new size

Old size billing stops, new size starts

Examples:

500GB NVMe → 1000GB:
Old: 500 × $0.30 = $150/mo
New: 1000 × $0.30 = $300/mo
Increase: +$150/mo

2000GB HDD → 5000GB:
Old: 2000 × $0.08 = $160/mo
New: 5000 × $0.08 = $400/mo
Increase: +$240/mo
