WordPress Billing

Billing is among the most critical WordPress (or any other) hosting criteria. In this regard, the iNET.elastic Application Platform provides a number of remarkable benefits to stand out from the regular cloud hostings.

Usually, the hosting pricing is fixed, which can be bad for new websites with little traffic. When starting, you typically don’t know the exact volume of the expected load. It makes it tricky to request the right amount of resources, ensuring that it is enough to handle the variable load without overpaying for the unused resources. However, the iNET.elastic Application Platform helps you solve this right-sizing problem through its default flexible pricing model. Here, you only pay for the services obtained rather than settling for a certain amount of resources that may or may not be used.

Note: For those who prefer the legacy way of paying for the bulk of resources once (monthly), the subscription-based pricing can be configured manually and will be implemented out-of-the-box for all the WordPress topologies in the next platform release.

Pay-per-Use Pricing

In contrast to most other vendors, iNET.elastic Application Platform for WordPress provides a truly user-oriented Pay-per-Use charging approach with automatic scaling based on your current need. You don’t need to guess or predict the incoming load with such an approach. According to the environment’s current requirements, the platform automatically provides the required resources (within the user-defined scaling diapason).

TLDR: User sets scaling limit (no surprise over top bills) but pays for the actually used resources only.

Pay-per-Use pricing

Flexible usage-based pricing is ensured with the automatic vertical scaling feature and granular resource allocation using the cloudlets units (128MiB of RAM and 400MHz of CPU). The process is fully automated. However, if needed, you can customize the lower and upper limits for your environments by hovering over and clicking the Change Environment Topology button. Provide the desired scaling range and confirm with Apply to re-adjusted at any time.
