WordPress Hosting Usage shows the usage cost of your WordPress sites. Sites are billed by usage: what each site actually used in the month. The page shows only WordPress Hosting. Application Hosting environments have their own usage page.
Before you start
You need access to billing. See Manage a team member.
Read your usage
- Go to WordPress Hosting, then select Billing.
- Choose the period at the top. Use Previous Month and Next Month to step through billing months, or select Custom Range to pick days. Quick Picks such as Last 30 Days and Year to Date fill in a range for you.
- Read the total at the top:
- Total This Period for a billing month.
- Total for These Billing Months for a range of whole months.
- Usage in This Range for any other range. It is not an invoice.
- Read Cost Details below. The breakdown shows Cloudlets, Storage, Network, Public IPs, SSL and Licenses.
- Under Group By, choose Environment to see one row per site, or Resource to see Cost by Resource.
Every figure is before tax. Billing months run on UTC time. A site deleted during the month keeps its usage there, marked Deleted. A dash (—) means nothing was used, which is different from a cost of zero.
If your account’s currency differs from the one the usage was rated in, the page converts it at today’s exchange rate. An invoice uses the rate of the day it is issued, so the two can differ slightly.
If something goes wrong
- No WordPress Sites: you don’t have a site yet. Select View Sites.
- No Usage This Period: your sites haven’t built up any cost yet. Charges appear as they accrue.
- Billing Data Is Temporarily Unavailable: try again shortly.
- License costs could not be read right now, so the license figure and the total may be lower than your bill. Try again in a few minutes.
