How much does hosting on Google Cloud cost with a Standard license?

[Smallguy]

Hi,

Hopefully you can help me in calculating costs of having a Standard license with 5-10 users + 8SC hosted on Google Cloud.
I'm somewhat lost here: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator

Thanks a million

Hi, as I can see your PBX is already hosted with 3cx from last year. Why don't you just upgrade your key to Pro, get all the features of the key that are available and Free Hosting which is included in the price ?
Also you wont have to take backup of your PBX, move it to another provider and waste time..

Haha, I'm asking for a new license (client) and calculating costs for 3CX hosted compared to Google Cloud.
For what I can calculate now I see that with a VM on Free OS with 1CPU + 4GB RAM in Dutch datacenter it will come to €13,99 per month with a 1 yr commitment and €9,99 with a three yr commitment.

What pitfalls are there when hosting on Google Cloud opposed to 3CX would be my next question...?
Anyone?

Plus another question?
How easy is it to switch from 3cx Hosted (after the 1st. free hosted yr) to Self Hosted at Google...?

>> well things with Google are not that simple and its not a straight forward answer.
You will also have to calculate the "egress" traffic from the machine towards the endpoints.
Google charges the upload, not the download.
So if a client tries to Register to the PBX, this is download for the machine but when the machine replies with 200 OK in order the Registration to occur ( or presence for example ) then this is upload for Google and it gets charged.
Or if you upload backups to SFTP for example every day, these are all charged as its "upload" from the machine.
So these have to be calculated also..

>> You will have to take full backup of your PBX, download it at your site and when you will setup your new PBX at your own infrastructure, then you will restore it on top.

For an E2 Medium you have selected, in Netherlands DC ( 1 cCPU + 4G RAM + 10G Disk space only ) the cost is about this ( approximately ) :





With 3cx Hosting pricing is fixed and you won't have to worry about network upload or disk space as these are included to the price of the license :

Be aware that 3CX Hosted as important limitations to take into consideration.

Which are in an area of sub 5% of our customer common usage…

CFD isn't used more than that? I am surprised.

STUN too, that's pretty common still (I don't know why tho, so many issues lol)
