We offer customized instance traffic billing plans designed specifically for your business needs. Below are the details of the monthly, quarterly and annual billing for the Linode instances of your choice, as well as the fixed traffic quota service elements that you will enjoy for the duration of the instance.

Overview of billing plans:

We offer you flexible monthly, quarterly and annual billing plans for instance sales to meet your different business cycle and resource planning needs. In each billing plan, we guarantee you a fixed traffic quota over the life of the instance to ensure that your business traffic is consistently met.

According to Linode's official traffic allocation rules, Linode VM's network traffic allocation mechanism follows the principle of progressive proportionality, which aims to achieve a fair and reasonable allocation of resources. Specifically, if the maximum monthly data transmission quota for a VM is 1,000 GiB, a user who creates a VM at the initial stage of the billing cycle (at the beginning of the month) will be given a transmission quota of 1,000 GiB; if it is created in the middle of the month, its initial quota will be adjusted in proportion to the total quota. When a virtual machine's actual traffic consumption exceeds the allocated monthly quota, the system will temporarily disconnect its network connection until the start of a new billing cycle. The unused transmission quota can continue to be used during the new billing cycle. This mechanism ensures that a virtual machine will receive its full transmission quota regardless of whether it is created at the beginning or middle of the month. This mechanism is designed to effectively manage network resources, ensure fair and reasonable resource allocation, and maintain the continuous and stable operation of the entire system.
