On-Demand Computing

Why pay for your server when you're not using it?

No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.

eOfficeMgr puts you in control of your hosting cost. Get a server dedicated to your organization and pay for processor and memory only while it's running.

Four things make it work

1

Dedicated server

You have exclusive use of a server dedicated to your organization.

2

Usage tracking

We track the type and amount of resources your server uses.

3

No compute charge when deallocated

While the server is Stopped (deallocated), you aren't charged for processor and memory.

4

You're in control

You decide when your server runs and when it's Stopped (deallocated).

An example month

Compute and storage are tracked separately. Here's a typical server: 2 processor cores, 8 GiB of memory and a 127 GiB disk.

Compute: $0.453/hour

A 31-day month has 744 hours, so running 24/7 would cost up to $337.03. Run it 8 hours a day during the work week (about 172 hours) and compute drops to $77.92, a 77% savings.

Disk and storage: $43.76 + $0.0995/GiB/month

Disks start at 127 GiB. This size has a flat fee of $43.76 plus $0.0995/GiB of data. Storage charges grow as data and backups accumulate.

Static IP address: $8.10/month

Your server keeps the same internet address every time it starts. That way your Remote Desktop connection can always find your server.

Users: $43.95/user/month

Add and remove users as you need.

Backup and antimalware are mandatory

Microsoft Backup service and Defender Antimalware are installed on every server.

Scheduler

The scheduler fee depends on the service option you choose. See Service options below.

Example monthly total
Compute (172 hrs)$77.92*
Disk flat fee$43.76
Storage (50 GiB)$4.98*
Static IP address$8.10
1 user$43.95
Backup and Antimalware services$22.20
Scheduler (Scheduled plan)$18.65
Total$219.56*

*Actual charges vary with the hours the server isn't deallocated and the amount of data stored on all disks and backups.

Service options

Recommended for most

Scheduled

+$18.65/mo

We run the server on a schedule you choose, for example 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours it's deallocated and you pay only for storage. To change the schedule or run off-schedule, submit a support request.

For occasional off-hours or weekend work

On-Demand

+$35.09/mo

Start and deallocate the server yourself whenever you like, and set or change your own schedule. You pay compute only while it runs. Can be combined with Scheduled.

For round-the-clock access

Always On

No scheduler fee

The server runs 24/7/365. No schedule is required. Recommended only if you need access around the clock, every day.

Technical notes

Support included

We provision the latest stable Windows Server with Microsoft Backup service and Microsoft Defender Antimalware. Basic support covers automatic updates, restarts and performance monitoring.

Extra help when you want it

We can add users, change security policies, install and update applications, and provide application support. Additional support is $41.25 per quarter hour, with a $16.50 minimum per request.

Right-size in 90 days, free

We'll recommend a starting configuration. If you want more cores or memory within the first 90 days, we'll change it free (your compute rate changes to match). After 90 days, changes are billed at the current support rate.

Full access

Connect with Remote Desktop Connection, built into Windows (Mac users can download it from the App Store). Your primary user is a server administrator, so you have complete control.

Data stored three times

All data is stored in 3 different places in the data center, and in a second data center if you choose.

Close to you

Your server is placed in the data center with available resources closest to you, for better performance.
