Public Cloud: Pricing changes as of October 1, 2026

Our Public Cloud instance prices are changing on October 1, 2026. For an identical configuration, the increase in price ranges from 1.4% to 21.9%, dependent on size.

This does not affect the calculated price, which will remain unchanged. However, two of the resources that were previously included in our instances — local storage and public IPv4 address — will now be billed separately.

This article details the new rates, reference by reference. The reasons for this change of model are explained in a prior article: Public Cloud, the end of the all-in-one.

The three-line model

Find the essential points of the new model summarized here below.

The hourly price of instances does not change. This price will be identical before and after October 1, 2026, for all ranges.

Local storage and public IPv4 addresses, which were previously included in the price of Generation 3 instances (B3, C3, R3), are now two separate billing lines. Local storage is now becoming a full-fledged storage class called Local Low Latency.

Savings Plans pricing is simplified. It now includes two terms of either 12 or 36 months, offering -15% and -30% discounts respectively, applied to compute.

The component pricing

Local storage remains included on all previous ranges (B2, C2, R2 and earlier).

Sizing of local storage

Today, the capacity of local storage is still fixed by size, just like in our current catalogue. Example: a B3-64 comes with 400 GB, no matter what your actual use is. We are evolving this solution to allow for choosing this capacity independently of the instance's size, and even starting without a local disk for uses that don't need it.

Flex instances already address part of this need. Whatever the size, their local disk is set at 50 GB: a b3-64 flex has 50 GB instead of 400 GB. You can therefore resize the instance from one size to another, up or down, without changing the local disk and you only pay for these 50 GB regardless of the size of the instance.

Savings Plans

The new rate takes effect on

September 1, 2026.

The 1, 6 and 24-month terms are no longer offered as subscriptions.

The discount is on compute. Local storage and IPv4 address are billed at their actual cost, excluding the discount.

If you already have a Savings Plan, your price and rate remain guaranteed until the end of your commitment. The details of the two schemes are explained in the first article.

Amounts below are excluding taxes, based on 730 hours per month, without commitment, for the local capacity currently attached to each model.

The increase is identical in euros for all instances with the same storage capacity: storage is capped at 400 GB, while the IP address will cost a fixed amount. This increase therefore weighs more heavily on smaller sizes, where these two items represent a significant portion of the bill, and less on larger ones.

Four concrete examples

Example 1: Typical architecture pack with 3-4 front servers + 1 database

A classic architecture: three application instances exposed with their own IPv4 address, and a database accessible only in the private network.

Pack with 3 front + 2 bases:

With a 4th front (upgrade):

Example 2: Infrastructure with gateway and a few private instances

A common pattern to limit the blast radius: a single instance faces the internet (the gateway), the rest of the traffic goes through the private network. Here, the gateway exposes a public IP, while ten instances remain fully private.

Complete Pack: 1 Gateway + 10 Private Instances

Leverage: if the ten private instances were to use a public IP instead of a gateway, the bill would be €869.70 instead of €860.70. Not assigning IPv4 addresses to instances that do not need them (access only via the gateway or the private network) saves around €2 per month per instance. It also makes your infrastructure more secure by reducing the public exposure of your services.

Example 3: Evolution of flex instances

Flex instances have a local disk that is fixed at 50 GB regardless of the size. The result is that the storage line added on October 1st remains the same in euros (50 GB + 1 IPv4, or about 7 €/month) for all sizes of a family — unlike standard instances, where the local disk grows with the size. The larger the instance, the less this fixed amount weighs, and the percentage difference drops off much faster than in standard.

In a direct comparison with the same instance in standard configuration (400 GB of local disk on large instances): a b3-64 flex only increases by +2.3 % compared to +14.9 % for the standard b3-64 — the price to pay for this low limit is only having 50 GB of local storage, regardless of the power of the instance. And if necessary, it is possible to add remote Block Storage.

Example 4: C3-8 Savings Plan of 12 months subscribed to before the switch (July 1, 2026)

A customer subscribes on July 1, 2026 to a 12-month Savings Plan with the old conditions: -35% discount on the instance price, price and rate guaranteed until the end of the commitment, June 30, 2027. This commitment therefore crosses the threshold of October 1, 2026.

Its rate does not move, its price does not compute either: both remain guaranteed. However, from October 1, 2026, local storage and IPv4 address will no longer be included in the discount and will be charged at the full rate. 

At renewal on July 1, 2027, if the customer subscribes on the new basis (12 months, -15%, floating discount applied to compute only):
