How is bandwidth pricing calculated when droplets are created and destroyed multiple times in one month?

Posted on April 3, 2013

I understand that if I have a 512MB Memory, 1 Core server running I get 1TB or transfer per month until it costs $0.02/GB. What happens if

I create a droplet, use 1TB, destroy it, then a week later create a new one?

I create two droplets, use 1.5TB on one, 0.5 on the other in one month?

Hey Richard, <br> <br>That’s a great question that’s why we aren’t yet charging for bandwidth until we figure out the edge cases like this =]

Awesome. So right now, even if I’m just using one 1GB and I go over 2TB there won’t be any charge for bandwidth? <br> <br>Thanks a lot!

DO should not charge for BW as long as they don’t have BW info in their panel.
