Manage Custom Domain usage

* * *

## What you are charged for[#](#what-you-are-charged-for)

You can configure a [custom domain](../../custom-domains/index.md) for a project by enabling the [Custom Domain add-on](/dashboard/project/_/settings/addons?panel=customDomain). You are charged for all custom domains configured across your projects.

Custom Domains are **not** covered by the [Spend Cap](../../cost-control/index.md#spend-cap).

## How charges are calculated[#](#how-charges-are-calculated)

Custom domains are charged by the hour, meaning you are charged for the exact number of hours that a custom domain is active. If a custom domain is active for part of an hour, you are still charged for the full hour.

### Example[#](#example)

Your billing cycle runs from January 1 to January 31. On January 10 at 4:30 PM, you activate a custom domain for your project. At the end of the billing cycle you are billed for 512 hours.
