Picking a plan shouldn't feel like a trap you can't get out of. On CloudPerch every tier launches and runs sites the same way — the differences are headroom, reach, and a few extra tools — and you can move between them whenever your needs change, with the maths handled for you. This guide explains what each plan includes, how billing works, and where to find everything in your dashboard.
The four plans
Every plan rides the same fast floor: NVMe storage, tuned caching, free auto-renewing SSL, daily backups, and isolated sites. The tiers add room and capability on top.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly (per mo) | Websites | Storage | Transfer | Mailboxes | Stands out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roost | $14 | $11 | 1 | 10 GB | 1 TB | 0 | File manager, chat & email support |
| Perch Pro | $28 | $22 | 3 | 20 GB | 2 TB | 1 | Global CDN, WAF, SFTP, free migration |
| Flock | $54 | $43 | 10 | 40 GB | 3 TB | 5 | Advanced DDoS + WAF, SFTP & SSH |
| Aerie | $99 | $79 | Unlimited | 80 GB | 4 TB | 10 | Everything in Flock, priority support |
A quick read on who each suits:
- Roost — a single personal site, a blog, or a small brochure site. Everything you need to launch, nothing you don't.
- Perch Pro — our most popular tier. The global CDN, WAF security, and SFTP access make it the sweet spot for a growing business site, and it includes a free guided migration.
- Flock — busier sites and stores, where advanced DDoS protection, the WAF, and SSH access earn their keep.
- Aerie — maximum headroom for demanding, high-traffic stores: unlimited sites, 80 GB of NVMe, advanced security, SFTP & SSH access, priority support, and a free guided migration.
Monthly or yearly
You can pay monthly or yearly, and yearly always works out cheaper per month — Perch Pro is $28/mo monthly or the equivalent of $22/mo paid yearly, for example. Monthly keeps things flexible; yearly trades a little flexibility for a lower rate.
You can switch cycle anytime from the billing area. Moving from monthly to yearly is the usual direction once you've settled in and know you're staying.
Upgrades, downgrades, and proration
Outgrowing your plan, or realising you sized up too far? Changing tiers is a dashboard action, and the billing sorts itself out.
Upgrades and downgrades prorate automatically. When you change plans mid-cycle, you're credited for the unused part of your old plan and charged only the difference — no double-paying, no manual maths.
In practice:
- Open the billing area in your dashboard.
- Choose the plan you want to move to.
- Confirm. The proration is calculated for you and reflected on your next invoice.
Your sites stay put through a plan change — you're adjusting the resources and features around them, not rebuilding anything.
Add-ons
If you need a little more of one thing without jumping a whole tier, add-ons fill the gap:
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| Extra storage (per 50 GB) | $4/mo |
| Mailbox pack (5 inboxes) | $10/mo |
| Single extra mailbox | $3/mo |
| Priority migration | $29 one-time |
Add-ons attach to your account and appear on the same invoice as your plan, so there's one bill to track.
Find your invoices
Every invoice lives in the billing area of your dashboard. You can open past invoices, see what's coming, and check exactly what you're paying for — plan plus any add-ons, on your chosen cycle. There's nothing to chase down by email; it's all there when you need it.

The 30-day money-back guarantee
Every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If CloudPerch isn't the right fit in your first month, you can get your money back — which is the whole point of starting small. Begin on Roost, see how it feels, and grow into a bigger perch only when your site asks for it.
Where to go next
A right-sized plan is the one that fits how you actually use your site today, with easy room to move:
