The above computing resources prices do not contain storage and data transfer fees. Your bill will be calculated round up to the hour based on the running time of your resources.
The currency is TWD.
Bills are settled on a daily basis and are counted up to a maximum of 30 days per month.
To know the operating systems supported by each model of cloud server, refer to: Windows System Support List, Linux System Support List.
There are several types of hicloud Machine Image with specific software packages available:
■ Database Kit: such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, redisDB, etc. See the details of the database kit page.
■ Web Server Kit: LAPP, LAMP, LEMP, Tomcat, etc. For details, please refer to the web server package kit page.
■ Regions Support VM list. See the location details page.
hicloud CVPC computing resources are charged only when a virtual machine (VM) is bootup and running.
Traditionally, users have to pay the full amount of the server fee whether the server is on or off. But hicloud has successfully divided the original price into the fee of computing resource (CPU and RAM) and the fee of storage, which enables a VM to be charged in different rates when on/off. If a VM is turned off, the hicloud will only charge storage fee, since the data is still keeping in the storage, but the CPU and RAM are not required. While the VM is turned on, the full rate of the VM fee will be charged. Actual fee of hicloud services is calculated based on hicloud system logs.
Upgrade and downgrade your VM
Users can adjust the computing resources on demand, which means the VM can be changed between the Basic purpose(b), Compute optimized(c), Memory optimized(m) models. Make sure that you turned off the VM before changing types. Besides, while upgrading to High CPU types or High RAM types, please verify that the VM is running 64bit OS to fully utilize large amount of RAM.
Upgrade your CPU and RAM

Note: Extra vCPU and RAM can be unsubscribed after use, and the VM will have the amount of vCPU and RAM based on the model of VM.
