Vultr will begin charging for snapshot storage on October 1

Vultr is introducing a charge for snapshot storage starting October 1, with the fees appearing on invoices from November 1st. The cost will be $0.05 per GB per month, which is comparable to or cheaper than other cloud service providers. The majority of Vultr customers will experience less than a 2% increase in their monthly bills, and often less than a 1% increase. Users can reduce or eliminate these costs by deleting old snapshots. The decision to charge for storage arises from the substantial expansion of Vultr's customer base and the associated costs of maintaining free storage for the growing number of unused snapshots. The pricing is set to align with market standards, allowing Vultr to manage physical storage expenses while keeping cloud computing costs low. Snapshots remain valuable for purposes such as rollback operations, disaster recovery, and deployment replication, and customers with extensive snapshot storage can contact support to explore options.
