SkySilk Cloud Hosting Subscription Update: More Flexibility, More Savings!

At SkySilk, we believe in transparency and flexibility, ensuring that our users have full control over their cloud experience. To make our services even more adaptable to your needs, we’ve made significant updates to our subscription model. Whether you’re looking for predictable billing or prefer to pay for exactly what you use, we now offer even more options to enhance your experience.

Two Flexible Payment Models

We understand that different users have different needs, which is why we provide two primary payment models:

  • Invoice (Pay-as-You-Go): This model remains unchanged. You only pay for the resources you consume, making it a great choice for those who want flexibility and cost efficiency.
  • Subscriptions: This is ideal for users who want uninterrupted virtual machine operation with the benefit of discounted pricing. With our latest update, we’ve added several new features to make subscriptions even more user-friendly.

What’s New in SkySilk Subscriptions?

Our updated subscription model now offers even greater convenience and control. Here’s what’s changed:

1. Flexible Subscription Durations

You can now choose a subscription plan that best suits your needs, with options for:

  • 3 months
  • 6 months
  • 12 months

The longer the subscription, the greater the discount, allowing you to save more while ensuring uninterrupted cloud service.

2. Automatic Renewal Control

You now have full control over your subscription’s renewal process. You can enable or disable auto-renewal at any time, giving you the freedom to manage your budget without worrying about unexpected charges.

3. Easy Switching Between Payment Models

We know that your needs might change over time, so we’ve made it easy to transition between payment methods:

  • Switch from Invoice (Pay-as-You-Go) to Subscription anytime to lock in discounts and ensure continuous service.
  • Switch from Subscription back to Invoices if you need more flexibility. When you do this, any unused subscription balance will be converted into account credit, so you never lose the value you’ve paid for.

4. Payment Guidelines

To keep things straightforward, please note that subscription plans cannot be paid for using bonus credits. They must be paid with either:

  • User Credits (funds you’ve added to your account)
  • A valid Payment Method (such as a credit card or PayPal)

This ensures a reliable and smooth transaction process for all users.

Why This Update Matters

These new subscription features give you: 

  • Greater flexibility to choose the plan that works best for you. Whether you need a short-term plan for temporary projects or a long-term commitment for cost efficiency, our new duration options allow you to tailor your subscription to your specific needs. 
  • More control over how and when you pay. With the ability to switch between models and enable or disable auto-renewal, you always have a clear and predictable billing structure that aligns with your usage preferences. 
  • Bigger savings with discounts for longer-term subscriptions. If you plan to use cloud services consistently, locking in a discounted rate for up to a year ensures cost savings while maintaining uninterrupted service. 
  • A seamless cloud experience without interruptions. By choosing the subscription plan that best fits your needs, you avoid unexpected service interruptions, ensuring that your virtual machines continue running without any disruptions.
