• 2008 R2 SP1 Datacenter

Atlantic.Net offers a clear breakdown of VPS hosting billing costs before deploying a Windows VPS. The cost of each VPS hosting plan is available right before you click deploy.

We offer three types of payment terms for VPS hosting:

• A pay-as-you-go pricing model
• One year VPS hosting commitment discounted rate
• Three-year VPS hosting commitment discounted rate

The pay-as-you-go pricing model for your virtual private server comes with no minimum fee; you can spin up a Windows VPS for 5 hours or 5 months and you will only be charged what you use.

You pay for the Windows VPS services you need for as long as you want to use them, and there is no need for long-term VPS hosting contracts or complex licensing agreements.

VPS hosting is billed on an hourly basis up to the monthly cap rate. The hourly rate for your virtual private server is determined by dividing the monthly rate by 672 hours (28 days). If you use a VPS hosting service for more than 672 hours in a month, you will only be billed for the monthly rate (672 hours).
