Block storage: NVMe block disks you attach to your VPS

It is $0.028 per GB per month. The monthly price for each size from 50GB to 1,000GB is shown in the cards above, and this amount is added to the server's monthly price and paid together by invoice. The amount shown is the entire disk fee.

After choosing a region, size and operating system on the create page, click the capacity you want under extra disk in the options section. The monthly total including the disk fee appears right away in the summary on the right, and when you click Create, the server is prepared with the disk attached. The extra disk is an option chosen when creating a server.

An extra disk is an option chosen when creating a server, so the fastest way to add space to your current server is to create a new server with a disk of the size you want and move your data. If you have questions about moving, ask on the support page after your first payment. We will guide you through the steps that fit your server.

It is an NVMe block disk. The operating system sees it as a new drive separate from the main disk; format it once with the file system you want, mount it to a folder and use it like a regular disk. It is a good fit for frequently read and written data such as database data folders, uploads and logs. Keeping the operating system and data on different disks makes space management and cleanup much easier.

Connect to the server, check the new disk's name with lsblk, format it with a command such as mkfs.ext4 and attach it to the folder you want with mount. To have it attached automatically after a restart, check the UUID with blkid and add a line to /etc/fstab, and you are set. Formatting is needed only the first time.

Block storage is a disk attached to your server, so the operating system reads and writes it like a regular drive and databases and programs use it as is. Object storage is storage where you upload and download files one by one, suited to backups and media shared by several servers or accessed from outside. For data inside your server, block storage is more convenient.

It is charged together with the first month's server fee when you create the server, and you can renew it by paying the renewal invoice before the billing period ends. The disk and server share one billing period, so there is no separate date to remember. When you delete a server, the fee for its attached disk ends too. Check the next billing date and the monthly price including the disk anytime in the control panel.

When the billing period ends, the server stops, and if you pay the renewal invoice within 3 days, the server starts again. If not renewed, the data on the server and disk is deleted together, so the larger the disk, the more important it is to pay the renewal invoice before the billing period ends. Turning on automatic backups as well gives important data extra protection.

You can choose an extra disk at creation for standard SSD, high-performance NVMe, dedicated CPU and high-memory servers. The same sizes and unit price are offered wherever you place your server in 40 regions, and you can add automatic backups and DDoS protection too. Choose your operating system from Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream and FreeBSD.

It is paid together with the server fee by invoice. When a refund is needed, it goes back to your account credit. You sign up with a single account token, and you can create up to 10 servers per account. Even if you choose different disk sizes for each server, they are all paid by the same invoice.
