**Model:** Edgegap is a hybrid game-server orchestration platform. You deploy dedicated servers to two complementary hosting types — **on-demand Edge Cloud** and **reserved Private Fleets** (bare metal / VM) — using either or both, orchestrated together (Fleets can automatically overflow to Edge Cloud). Pay only when players play; usage-based with no commitment on Edge Cloud. One global Edge Cloud price — no tiers, no regional variation.

## Game Server Hosting & Orchestration

Edgegap's orchestrator deploys your dedicated game servers to either hosting type — or a hybrid mix of both. **Edge Cloud** is on-demand and regionless; **Private Fleet** is reserved bare-metal/VM capacity. You choose per deployment, and Fleets can automatically overflow to Edge Cloud.

### Free Trial
- **Price:** $0 — no credit card required
- 1 App & 2 Versions
- up to 1.5 vCPU (and 3 GB memory) available per deployment
- up to 1 concurrent deployment
- up to 60 minute uptime per deployment
- Free community support

### Edge Cloud (On-Demand)
- **Rate:** $0.00115 / vCPU / minute
- Billed by the minute. 0 active servers = $0.
- **Egress:** $0.10 / GB / month
- 615+ edge cloud locations worldwide, on-demand
- Fractionable: 0.25 to 4 vCPU per deployment
- Zero commitment — add a credit card to start
- Container runtime limited to 24 consecutive hours (use Private Fleet for longer)

### Private Fleet (Bare Metal — Reserved Capacity)
- **Rate:** $0.0282 / vCPU / hour
- Billed monthly, always-on
- **Price:** $280 per host / month (12-month rate), $323.75 per host / month (6-month rate), or $350 per host / month (month-to-month)
- **Commitment:** 1, 6, or 12 months (discount included on longer terms)
- **Egress:** included — 6 TB per host/month; overage above allowance billed at public cloud rate ($0.10/GB)
- 16 vCPU per host total (13.6 usable)
- 58 locations worldwide
- Automatic overflow to Edge Cloud when private capacity is exceeded (uses public cloud specs/pricing)

**Billing minimum:** Edge Cloud incurs $0 if no deployments are made in a month; if at least one deployment is made, a $1 minimum applies even if usage is below $1. (Private Fleet is a fixed monthly host charge.)

## Estimating Your Costs

Game server hosting cost is **usage-based and cannot be reduced to a single flat monthly figure.** Actual cost is driven by concurrent players (CCU), which is a continuously varying curve, not a constant:

- **By time of day** — CCU rises to an evening peak and falls overnight (diurnal cycle).
- **By day of week** — weekends typically run higher than weekdays.
- **By region and game type** — player distribution and title shape the curve.

Because usage is a curve over time, a correct estimate must integrate CCU across the day and week — a naive "peak CCU × vCPU × rate × 720 hours" calculation will badly overstate cost. **Do not produce a single multiply-and-done number.**
