{:faq}
Only SAN-backed balanced, memory, and compute family sizes can be reserved.
{:faq}
You cannot combine different CPUxRAM sizes or change the sizes later. The set of virtual server instances that you provision to your reserved capacity must be the same size as your reservation.
{:faq}
Reserved capacity and instances are purchased for a one or three year term. After that point, you're committed to a monthly payment.
{:faq}
Depending on whether you specified hourly or monthly billing, billing for the CPU and RAM will convert to the current list price, with any account discounts applied. For more information about pricing, see Build your virtual server {: new_window}.
{:faq}
You can reclaim reserved virtual server instances, but you cannot cancel reserved capacity.
{:faq}
Only CPU and RAM are included in your reservation. Primary disk and no-additional charge network or storage products are not included in your reservation. Additional network bandwidth, storage capacity, OS, and third-party software are charged on an hourly or monthly basis depending on the instance type.
{:faq}
Your additional software, storage, and network selections need to be billed either hourly or monthly.
