Manage IPv4 usage

What you are charged for#

You can assign a dedicated IPv4 address to a database by enabling the IPv4 add-on. You are charged for all IPv4 addresses configured across your databases.

IPv4 Hours are not covered by the Spend Cap.

If the primary database has a dedicated IPv4 address configured, its Read Replicas are also assigned one, with charges for each.

How charges are calculated#

IPv4 addresses are charged by the hour, meaning you are charged for the exact number of hours that an IPv4 address is assigned to a database. If an address is assigned for part of an hour, you are still charged for the full hour.

Example#

Your billing cycle runs from January 1 to January 31. On January 10 at 4:30 PM, you enable the IPv4 add-on for your project. At the end of the billing cycle you are billed for 512 hours.
