Hosting

How hosting is billed, where to watch usage, and how to take a site down.

How does hosting billing work?

Hosting is billed pay-as-you-go based on usage. Every paid plan includes a monthly hosting allowance covered by your subscription — you are only charged for usage beyond it. The allowance is larger on higher plans.

Where can I see my hosting usage?

On the hosting dashboard. You can also ask Floot about your hosting usage in the chat — it can read the numbers and suggest ways to bring costs down.

What drives hosting costs up?

  • Large images and video served on every page load
  • Polling loops that hit your backend far more often than they need to
  • Runaway client-side effects that fire requests in a tight loop

If something unusual shows up, Floot throttles temporarily to protect your site and gets in touch — see Reliability and limits.

How do I unpublish my site?

Top-right Publish → cog icon on the domain → Delete domain.
