Vultr的快照功能一直都是免费提供给用户进行使用的，Vultr中文网也专门写过一篇文章【相关链接】介绍这个快照功能。站长今天登录Vultr后，发现快照功能不再免费提供了，将于今年也就是2021年10月1日开始收费，收费标准是每月每GB 0.05美元。Vultr中文网在此提醒大家，注意登录一下官网，看下是否有必要删除已经创建的快照，避免这些快照产生额外的费用。
一、官方通知中文翻译版
机器翻译的，大家凑合看一下吧，下面也有官网英文原版。
1、你需要知道的
- Vultr将于10月开始对快照存储收费，收费将反映在11月1日的账单上。
- 快照存储每月的成本为 0.05美元/GB，与其他云提供商相同或更低。
- 超过90%的Vultr客户每月账单的增幅将低于2%，如果有增加，大多数客户的账单增幅将低于1%。
- 通过从帐户中删除旧快照，您可以轻松降低或完全消除快照成本。
2、为什么 Vultr 会做出这样的改变？
Vultr现在拥有数十万客户，部署了数百万个云实例。因为快照存储以前是免费的，所以用户倾向于无限期地将旧快照留在他们的帐户中（我们懂的 - 如果它是免费的，我们也会这样做！）。
不幸的是，这些快照占用了实际磁盘空间，而提供这些空间的成本很高。由于每天都有更多的新用户，同时在全球有18个机房，因此Vultr无法再为快速增长的旧快照和未使用快照提供免费存储。
我们宁愿在全球更多地点为客户提供更多容量，也不愿花钱存储旧快照。
3、定价是如何确定的？
我们对快照存储的定价与其他云提供商相同或更低，每月为0.05美元/GB。这使我们能够支付物理存储的成本，并继续使您的云计算成本保持在较低水平。
4、我还应该使用快照吗？
绝对地！快照非常适合回滚更改、灾难恢复或快速复制您的部署。有关如何在Vultr中使用快照的更多信息，请参阅我们的文档。

看得懂英文的可以看这个，比机翻更易于理解。
What you need to know:
- Vultr will begin charging for snapshot storage in October, with charges reflected on November 1st invoices
- Snapshot storage will cost $0.05/GB per month, which is the same or less than other cloud providers
- Over 90% of Vultr customers will see less than a 2% increase in their monthly invoice, and most customers’ invoices will see less than a 1% increase, if there is an increase
- You can easily lower, or completely eliminate your snapshot costs by deleting old snapshots from your account
Why is Vultr making this change?
Vultr now has hundreds of thousands of customers, with millions of cloud instances deployed. Because snapshot storage was previously free, users tended to leave old snapshots in their accounts indefinitely (we get it - we would too if it was free!).
Unfortunately, these snapshots take up real disk space, which is expensive to provide. With more new users every day, and 18 locations around the world, it is no longer possible to provide free storage for the rapidly-growing number of old and unused snapshots.
We would rather give our customers more capacity in more locations, globally, than spend money storing old snapshots.
How was pricing set?
We priced snapshot storage the same or less than other cloud providers at $0.05/GB per month. This allows us to cover the cost of physical storage, and continue to keep your cloud computing costs low.
Should I still use snapshots?
Absolutely! Snapshots are great for rolling-back changes, disaster recovery, or replicating your deployments quickly. For more information on how to use snapshots in Vultr, see our documentation.
What if I have a lot of snapshots?
If you would like to discuss your snapshot storage with us, please open a support ticket here and we will be happy to look at your account and discuss options.
