Inform the user of the costs of making backups/snapshots before creation

I made a snapshot of my vps and it was one click and started, I assumed it was free. I read in to a little more and there is a small charge, and I'm not complaining the price is more than reasonable for what it is.

It's just more the fact that I didn't actually know that there was one, people shouldn't need to read up on the documentation in a blog post to know how much something costs.

Other than that, the service is great.

    Hi Sam,

    That is what we are working on currently, however there are still a few variables to work out which is why the price isn't displayed.

    The good news is that once it's sorted out and the pricing takes effect we will be providing a couple months of free usage for customers so they can adjust their usage as they need based on the pricing without actually being charged anything.

    Thanks
