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.
