All of the products available within Brightbox Cloud 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.
No. Unlike many other cloud services, you don't need to make a payment before using Brightbox - you only need to add a valid credit card.
We currently accept both Visa and Mastercard.
We only bill in Pounds Sterling (GBP) at present. We may add multi-currency in future.
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.
Yes, although it's not a requirement, you can make ad-hoc payments to your Brightbox account and maintain a credit balance. When you receive your monthly invoice, your prepaid balance is deducted first and the remainder is then charged to your registered credit card.
Yes, you can make a pre-payment (see above) via BACS/bank transfer, although you must always have a valid credit card registered in your Brightbox account. An administration fee of £25 will be deducted from any amounts you transfer to cover our bank charges and admin fees.
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.
Yes, please contact our sales team to discuss volume discounts.
