Pricing and Quotas

The RdbHost service is demand-priced. What you pay depends on how much you use. We offer a limited usage per hour, and charge for usage above that level. Paid usage must be prepaid.

	Requests	Bandwidth	Space
Price	$0.50	$0.50	$1.00
	per Million requests	per Gigabyte	per Gigabyte-Month
Free Quota	2	10	25
	Thousand requests per hour	Megabytes per hour	Megabytes

Enforcement

The bandwidth and request quotas get reset at the top of the hour. When either limit is exceeded by an account, the account is disabled until the end of the hour. Excess diskspace usage is penalized at 5 minutes per Megabyte of overage. If an account is, say, over the disk space quota by 2 MB, the account is disabled for the last 10 minutes of the hour, every hour. The first 10 minutes of the hour will never be disabled for a disk space overage, because you need to be able to connect sometime to fix the problem.

Email notifications are sent, to the email address on record, whenever accounts are temporarily disabled for exceeding quota. We do not send quota related emails more than once every 12 hours per account.
