Servers
The hourly price of your servers depends on their deployed virtual processors (VPUs), memory, system storage configuration, and operating system. System storage is preconfigured on the standard vCloud Express deployment templates but can be configured if you create a blank server and install your own operating system. System storage is priced at $0.25/month per GB (prorated hourly). Note that you are billed for servers whether they are powered on or off.

Additional Storage
To expand the capacity of your server’s storage you can add additional storage through the server configuration wizard; scaling up to 15 total partitions and 7 TB. Additional storage is priced at $0.25/month per GB.
Public IP Addresses
With vCloud Express you can activate public IP addresses that stay persistent with your environment until you no longer need them. Each activated public IP address is priced at $0.01/hour.
Internet Services
Internet Services allow you to configure a public IP address’s Internet protocol and communication port so your servers can be reached from the Internet. With the Internet Services feature you also can enable network load balancing across multiple servers.
Internet Services are priced at $0.01/hour per Internet service. There are no additional fees to use the load-balancing feature, and you may add as many servers (nodes) to each Internet service as you wish.
Bandwidth
Internet bandwidth is billed based on data transferred in and out of your vCloud Express public IP addresses. The price for bandwidth is $0.17/GB transferred.

For convenience we’ve provided vCloud Express customers prebuilt server templates that contain licensed subscription software. When you deploy or change the configuration of a server using one of these templates we will let you know the price of the licensed software before you complete the process. The following matrix shows the prices for our licensed subscription software:
| Software | 1 to 4 VPU Servers | 5 to 8 VPU Servers |
