How does xneelo calculate the cost for disk space over-usage?

If you’re on a Web Hosting package or Volume Plan, this article explains how we calculate charges when your disk space usage exceeds the allocated limit.

Web Hosting disk space over-usage

Disk over-usage is charged at R20 per GB

Please see the following example:

The Basic hosting package provides 15 GB of storage space, but the package is using 19 GB of disk space in total, which is 4 GB of over-usage. 

How it’s calculated:

Basic package R99
Disk over-usage R80 (R20 x 4)
Total R179

Volume Plan disk space over-usage

The cost of the Volume Plan will increase depending on the overall amount of disk usage you require. The monthly cost of the Volume Plan will be as follows:

Volume Plan SA & DE Disk space quota Price (includes VAT)
Tier 1 Less than 75 GB R699
Tier 2 76 – 200 GB R1299
Tier 3 201 – 500 GB R1899
Tier 4 501 – 1100 GB R2199

Should you exceed 1100 GB per month, disk overusage will be charged at R10 per GB.

Assist Note

To avoid disk over-usage charges, we recommend either reducing your disk usage or upgrading to a hosting package that meets your storage needs.
