Hosting subscriptions
The 30-day Marketplace hosting allowance, ongoing Cloud rates, data services, domains and activation after acceptance.
Published · Updated
Your developer delivers running software for you to review. When you accept, you own the delivered source. Keep the app running with Velcio Cloud, or download the source and host it elsewhere.
30 days of Starter hosting included
Each completed, paid new-app Marketplace job includes 30 days of Starter-equivalent hosting for one replica. It is available even if you have already used your normal Cloud free period.
- The period starts on the app’s first hosting activation after acceptance. Development and review do not use it.
- You can activate while accepting, or activate later from the completed job. Accepting without hosting does not remove eligibility.
- One Starter replica is covered. Larger plans and additional replicas pay the difference from activation. Across multiple services, the allowance still covers only one replica in total.
- The normal Cloud trial does not stack on the same app. Unrelated apps keep their own existing trial eligibility.
- Revisions, plan changes, cancelling and restarting hosting do not extend or reset the original end date.
- Paid database and object-storage usage is separate. Account resource limits still apply.
The checkout shows the selected plan, allowance and ongoing rate. A payment method is required. Hosting continues at its normal usage rate after the allowance ends unless you cancel. Subject to your notification preferences, Velcio sends reminders about seven days and one day before the end.
For example, at current prices one Starter replica is covered during the period, then costs £5.99/month. One Standard replica costs the £14.00/month equivalent difference during the period, then £19.99/month. Actual charges are prorated to the second.
Handover choices
| Choice | App runtime | Hosting allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Review | Time-limited review sessions | Not started |
| Accept and activate hosting | Continues on Velcio Cloud | Starts on activation |
| Accept without hosting | Stops; accepted source remains downloadable | Available on first later activation |
| Review deadline passes without accept or dispute | Auto-accepts and stops | Available on first later activation |
Acceptance schedules the developer’s payout. Hosting is a separate choice and is never activated automatically by auto-accept.

Self-serve Web apps support up to 10 replicas per app. Worker processes run as one instance without a public URL. Where multi-service delivery is enabled, the billable quantity is the sum of desired replicas across services. Temporary recovery replicas do not add a hosting charge.
Hosting is billed through your Cloud account. Plan and replica changes affect the usage rate. Stopping the deployment does not cancel hosting billing. Cancel hosting to end the hosting entitlement.
Database and file storage
During paid work and review, the buyer can set up managed Postgres and private object storage from Delivery where these services are available. The application receives connection values through runtime injection; neither party needs to exchange secret values in discussion.
Data services keep their identities and data when hosting is activated and the app moves to Cloud management. Free resource limits are shared across the account. Pay-as-you-go database usage and any enabled storage overages are billed separately, including during review. If work ends without active hosting, data services follow the normal suspension and retention policy.
Website address
Web deliveries get a *.velcio.app address. After hosting handover, manage domains in Cloud. Renaming the platform address keeps the previous hostname working for a 48-hour grace period, then it can be reclaimed. Update webhook and external links during that period.
You can attach one subdomain you already own by CNAME to the platform hostname. Buy the domain from a registrar; it is not included in hosting. Apex domains and automatic DNS provisioning are not supported. Follow the DNS instructions shown in Cloud.
Cancellation
Cancel hosting from Cloud. The runtime stops under the normal cancellation policy. Already accrued usage remains payable; the unused allowance is not cash or transferable credit. Cancellation leaves accepted source available, and restarting does not reset the allowance end date.
Before Cloud handover, Delete database and storage remains available on the project after unhosted completion or cancellation. It permanently removes the attached data after confirmation; accrued usage remains payable. After hosting handover, manage resources in Cloud.
