Pricing FAQs

When will I get billed for my usage?

You'll get an invoice each month on, or around, the monthly anniversary of when you first created your account.

For example, if you signed up on 3rd April you'll get your first bill on or around 3rd May, and each month thereafter on 3rd.

Which currencies do you support?

All usage is billed in Pounds Sterling (GBP).

EUR and USD amounts displayed are just intended for convenience based on recent currency exchange rates.

How does billing work?

All of the products available within Brightbox are provided on a metered billing basis. Our cloud billing system collects usage data from across our infrastructure every minute and generates invoices monthly in arrears.

When does billing for a Cloud Server or Load Balancer start and stop?

Billing starts only when the requested resource (e.g a Cloud Server or Load Balancer) first becomes "Active" and is ready to use. Billing stops as soon as a "destroy" request is received by the API. In other words, we start billing as late as possible and we stop billing as early as possibly - so that you only pay whilst a particular resource is usable by you.

Which credit cards do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

Will VAT be added to my invoices?

As a VAT-registered UK company, we're required to add VAT to purchases from: (a) EU-based customers without a valid VAT registration number and, (b) all UK-based customers (regardless of VAT status).

EU-based customers with a valid VAT registration number registered to their Brightbox account will not be charged VAT. Also, customers based outside of the EU and, therefore, outside the scope of VAT will not be charged VAT.

Are there volume discounts available?

Yes, please contact our sales team to discuss volume discounts.
