Credit System Overview
Understanding FlexSite's Credit System
FlexSite uses a credit-based system that's like having a digital currency for your web development resources. Instead of paying for specific services or features, your plan includes credits that you can then allocate to different projects and environments based on your needs. This flexible approach gives you control over how you spend your resources.
How the Credit System Works
Think of credits as tokens that represent computational resources and services. When you use FlexSite's features - like hosting environments, database storage, or processing power - you're using credits. The more resources you use, the more credits you consume.
Credit Allocation and Management
You can allocate into individual environments within a project. This granular control lets you prioritize resources where they're needed most.
For example, you might allocate more credits to your production environment to ensure it has the resources it needs to serve your users, while giving fewer credits to development environments where performance is less critical.
Resource Tiers and Options
FlexSite offers different resource tiers to match different needs and budgets. Basic tiers provide starter resources suitable for small projects or testing, while professional tiers offer enhanced resources for growing websites.
Enterprise tiers provide premium resources for high-traffic websites or applications with demanding requirements. You can also create custom tiers with specific resource allocations tailored to your unique needs.
Usage Tracking and Optimization
The credit system includes comprehensive tracking that shows you exactly how your credits are being used. This transparency helps you understand your resource consumption and identify opportunities to optimize your usage.
You can see which projects or environments are using the most resources, track usage patterns over time, and make informed decisions about where to allocate your credits for maximum efficiency.
