FathomDB instance sizes determine the memory allocation and other resource shares of your MySQL database server. Disk storage space is unlimited on all plans. Higher memory and CPU shares give you a higher performing database.
You can change the instance size freely; currently this involves restarting MySQL and often moving to a new server. We allow complex database operations to happen at user configurable maintenance schedules.
All pricing is in US dollars

FathomDB database servers include disk space. Your backups are stored separately on Rackspace Cloud Files, so they won't be using up space on your server.
Prices are based on Rackspace's prices with a 25% markup, which covers our overheads (credit card fees, monitoring systems, bandwidth charges, machine under-utilization etc.)
For data kept in Rackspace cloud files (e.g. backups), we charge based on the Rackspace price + 20%:
