Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

No, RAM and local disk storage are bundled into the specific VM size. You cannot purchase extra RAM or local disk space individually for an existing instance plan. If you need more of these specific resources, you must resize your instance to the next tier. However, you can add highly scalable auxiliary storage to any instance by attaching Block Storage volumes or using Object Storage.

Yes, pricing for some plans is different depending on the region.

G6 and G7 plans include some network transfer (egress) in their hourly rate. This egress may be pooled and used for your VM. Newer VM families, such as the G8 dedicated compute series, no longer include bundled egress.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. You can add credit to your account by transferring funds from a PayPal account. Maintaining a valid credit card on file with your account is a requirement of our Master Services Agreement. Read this guide on how billing works.

Akamai Cloud offers Dedicated CPU, Shared CPU, and High Memory plans to suit various workload requirements.

Yes, you can make payments that front-load your account with credit. When your account gets invoiced for services used, we apply the prepaid credit amount before charging the payment card on file with your account.

Yes. We maintain your saved data and reserve your ability to use other resources like RAM, transfer, etc., even when your VM is powered off. You will receive a bill for any other active service, such as Longview Pro or an extra IP. If you want to stop receiving a bill for a particular service, you need to remove it from your account entirely.
