Frequently asked questions

How do I bill for usage-based hosting services?

Itemize each metered component (e.g., compute hours, GB-months of storage, GB of data transfer) with quantity and unit price. If you use a tiered model, show the tier thresholds and applicable rates.

Should I include service credits on the invoice?

Yes, if your SLA requires credits for downtime or performance failures. Show them as a separate negative line item to maintain transparency and avoid disputes.

What if I need to charge for regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA)?

List any compliance-related fees (like a BAA administration fee) as a separate line item. Do not include taxes unless you are registered to collect them.
