FlashEdge Pricing

FlashEdge pricing overview

FlashEdge charges are based on actual usage of the service in four areas: Data Transfer Out to the Internet from FlashEdge, HTTP/HTTPS Requests, Invalidation Requests, and Data Transfer Out to Origin associated with a FlashEdge distribution. For every new account, we offer a 14-day trial which is described below.

Detailed description of FlashEdge CDN pricing

  • Data Transfer Out to the Internet: you are charged for the volume of data transferred out from FlashEdge locations, measured in GB. Note that your data transfer usage is totaled separately for specific geographic regions.

  • Data Transfer Out to Origin (inbound data transfer): you will be charged for the volume of data transferred out, measured in GB, from the FlashEdge locations to your origin (both AWS origins and other origin servers).

  • HTTP/HTTPS Requests: you will be charged for the number of HTTP/HTTPS requests made to FlashEdge for your content. For each 60 KB of FlashEdge Data Transfer Out, you will receive one free HTTP or HTTPS GET Request. For additional HTTP or HTTPS GET Requests, the rate is $0.0065 per 10,000 of such requests.

  • Invalidation Requests: you are charged per your invalidation request in the console. You can request up to 1,000 invalidations each month from FlashEdge at no additional charge. Beyond the first 1,000 paths, you will be charged.

Costs connected to FlashEdge CDN usage

When you start using FlashEdge CDN you can get one benefit that many other CDN services can’t bring you. If you use AWS (Amazon Web Services) origins (such as Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, AWS Elastic Load Balancer, and so on), you will not be charged for AWS data transfer out from AWS to FlashEdge. This applies to data transfer from all AWS Regions to all FlashEdge locations. This would normally appear on your AWS for around $0.09 per GB, but with FlashEdge this will be free of charge because FlashEdge is directly connected to AWS regions.

If you are using your on-premises servers or service from a provider other than AWS, you will be charged separately based on the pricing of this service, so this won’t show up in your FlashEdge bill.
