Billing Period and Billing Month

Accounting for traffic, disk usage, MySQL and PostgreSQL quotas is determined by a billing month.

Billing month equals the number of days in the billing period divided by billing period duration in months. Billing month determines how far in advance recurrent fees for billing month resources are prepaid. Accounting for other resources is determined by billing period. Its length can vary depending on your hosting plan. Your hosting plan may be configured to allow you to switch between billing periods of different length, price and discount policies. Based on this difference, resources are sometimes referred to as monthly or billing period resources.

A new billing period/month opens:

• when your account is activated upon signup or moderation
• when the previous billing period closes
• when the previous billing month closes (valid only for billing month)
• when you change to billing period shorter than the time elapsed from the beginning of a current one
• when your start billing date is changed by administrator.
