# VPS Billing

> VPS plans are billed as a subscription. Pick a 1, 3, or 6 month period at checkout — longer periods come with a discount.

## Pricing

| Plan         | 1 month   | 3 months     | 6 months     |
| ------------ | --------- | ------------ | ------------ |
| **Plank**    | \$32 / mo | \$29 / mo    | \$28.33 / mo |
| **Broglie**  | \$44 / mo | \$39.67 / mo | \$39 / mo    |
| **Einstein** | \$64 / mo | \$58 / mo    | \$56.67 / mo |

Prices are per month, charged upfront for the full billing period.

**Add-ons:**

* **Extra IPv4 addresses** — \$1.45 / IP / month, up to 8 extras per VPS.
* **Weekly automatic backups** — **\$5 / month** per VPS (optional add-on).

## Billing cycle

* Your subscription **starts immediately** after payment.
* It **renews automatically** at the end of each billing period (1, 3, or 6 months).
* Card payments use **Stripe**; crypto payments use **Cryptomus** (manually renewed each cycle).

You can see the next renewal date on the VPS detail page.

## Upgrading mid-cycle

If you upgrade a VPS to a larger plan partway through a billing period, you're charged only the **prorated difference** between the two plans for the time remaining in the current period — not a full new period. Your renewal date stays the same; future renewals are at the new plan's price. See [Managing your VPS → Upgrade your plan](/documentation/virtual-private-servers/managing#upgrade-your-plan) for the steps.

## Invoices

Every payment generates an invoice you can view and download from the Dashboard:

1. Open **Dashboard → Servers** and click your VPS.
2. Open the **Invoices** section.
3. Click any invoice to view or download a PDF.

## Cancelling

You can cancel your VPS subscription at any time from the Dashboard:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the VPS">
    From **Dashboard → Servers**, click the VPS you want to cancel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'Cancel subscription'" />

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Your VPS remains active **until the end of the current billing period**. After that, the machine and all data on it are permanently deleted.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Cancellation is final at the end of the billing period — we cannot recover data from a deleted VPS. Copy out anything you need to keep before the period ends.
</Warning>

## Failed renewals

If a card payment fails on renewal:

1. Stripe automatically retries the charge over a few days.
2. You'll get an email each time it fails.
3. After the retry window ends without a successful payment, the VPS is suspended and then removed.

To avoid this, keep your payment method up to date in **Dashboard → Settings → Billing**.

## Refunds

VPS subscriptions are pre-paid for the chosen period. We don't issue partial refunds for unused time. If you ran into a problem at checkout (wrong plan, double charge, provisioning failure), [contact support](mailto:team@quantumproxies.net) within 24 hours and we'll sort it out manually.
