Plans and limits
Hosting is built, and a few accounts are using it first. It opens to everyone once the rules, a way to report a site and a way for us to take one down are ready.
One site is one plan. An account with three sites has three plans, and each is paid from the same wallet as your models and live data.
The plans
Section titled “The plans”| Plan | Per 30 days | Traffic | Storage | Deploys a day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 20 GB | 0.1 GB | 3 |
| Start | $5 | 200 GB | 1 GB | 10 |
| Business | $10 | 1000 GB | 3 GB | 20 |
| Pro | $15 | 3000 GB | 10 GB | 40 |
Prices are US dollars, the same currency as the wallet. A paid plan is charged when the site is created, for its first 30 days, and again every 30 days after that.
What is counted
Section titled “What is counted”- Traffic is what a site sends to its visitors, added up over the 30-day period. It is the only figure that can cost you more than the plan.
- Storage is what the published files of one site weigh. It is what the plan includes, and nothing is billed for it. Publishing from a repository has a lower ceiling of its own, 50 MiB (a unit close to a megabyte), so that is the one you meet first.
- Deploys are the publishes you ask for: pressing Redeploy, and saving a new branch or folder under Change folder. They are counted per day, per site, from the moment the publish is accepted — so a deploy that goes on to read Failed has used one of them. A deploy turned down before it starts does not count: the day’s limit already reached, a site that is suspended or taken down, a branch or folder we refuse as you save it. Creating a site is not counted at all.
The free plan
Section titled “The free plan”One free site per account, and it carries a small badge in the corner of the page reading “Hosted with Oraicle” that links back to us. The paid plans carry none.
Asking for a second free site is refused:
you already have your free site; choose a paid plan, or delete the other site firstPast the traffic a plan comes with
Section titled “Past the traffic a plan comes with”By default the site stops rather than running up a bill. It keeps serving for 24 hours after it passes the quota, and is suspended if it is still over when that runs out. The console shows the state on the card while the clock runs.
We chose stopping as the default on purpose. A per-gigabyte bill with nothing above it turns someone else’s flood into your invoice, and the wallet it would come out of is the same one you topped up for models.
If you would rather the site stayed up, each card has Extra bandwidth. Switch it on and traffic beyond the plan’s quota is billed to the wallet at $0.05 a GB, as an ordinary line in your usage history.
Limits on what you publish
Section titled “Limits on what you publish”Publishing straight from a repository holds the whole folder in memory between the download from GitHub and the upload, so it has limits of its own. They are the same on every plan:
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| One file | 25 MiB |
| The whole folder | 50 MiB |
| Files in the folder | 10,000 |
Each has its own refusal; When a site says Failed quotes them.
When a renewal cannot be paid
Section titled “When a renewal cannot be paid”If the wallet cannot cover a plan when its 30 days are up, the site keeps serving for 7 days. Top up inside those days and it renews and carries on. After them the site is suspended: the address stops serving your files and shows a page of ours reading “This site is paused” instead. Topping up after a suspension renews the plan and puts the site back.
A site left suspended for 30 days is deleted and its plan closed.
What a plan does not change
Section titled “What a plan does not change”On every plan, the address is https://<name>.oraicle.app, a site name is
letters, digits and dashes, and some names are kept for our own services. A
domain of your own is not available on any of them yet:
