# Volumes & Snapshots

### How Volumes pricing works

The price for Volumes is calculated on the basis of the smallest unit of 1 GB. When creating volumes, the smallest unit is always 10 GB. After that, you can always expand volumes with the smallest unit of 1 GB. Charges accrue hourly for as long as the Volume exists.

### How Snapshots pricing works

Snapshots are always associated with Volumes. As Snapshots are 1:1 block storage level copies of a Volume, the per GB pricing and the method of calculation are exactly the same. Charges accrue hourly for as long as the Snapshot exists.

### Pricing per GB

| Storage | Hourly Price | Monthly Price |
| ------- | ------------ | ------------- |
| 1 GB    |              |               |
