====== How is Simple Hosting billed? ====== Gandi's Simple Hosting is based on a flexible payment system. The prices depend on the size of the instance you chose. You can subscibe for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or a year. ===== Monthly, Quarter, Six Months instance (flexible pricing) ===== With monthly instances, our service is without obligation; the minimum billing period is one day. If you subscribe to a pack and release it 8 days later, we will refund you //pro rata// for the 22 unused days that you paid for. ===== Yearly instance ===== If you are an old or new domain name customer of Gandi, you also have a promo code available to you on your [[http://en.gandi.net/admin/billing/promos|account interface]] that gives you 50% off any pack, under the condition that you subscribe to a one-year commitment. The promo code is only valid once. ===== PHP/MySQL offers ===== Note that **customers in America and outside the European Union don't pay VAT**. ^^ Instance ^ Price (excl. VAT) ^ Price (incl. VAT) ^^ |S instance |$5/mo ($60/year) |$5.98/mo ($71.76/year) | |M instance |$10/mo ($120/year) |$11.96/mo ($143.52/year) | |L instance |$20/mo ($240/year) |$23.92/mo ($287.04/year) | |XL instance |$30/mo ($360/year) |$35.88/mo ($430.56/year) | |XXL instance |$40/mo ($480/year) |$47.84/mo ($574.08/year) | If you are also a domain name customer, be aware that you have access to a promo code that will grant you **50% off the regular price** of a one-year commitment on the instance size of your choice. **Note that the one-year commitment is not refundable, and the promo code can only be used once.** If you are not sure if Simple Hosting is right for you, try it for a month before signing up for a year.
