This page is for self-service website builders/developers who are administering their own sites or are working with outside vendors. The site owner must be a Berkeley employee; sites must be created by a Berkeley employee with a berkeley.edu email address, and sites must be hosted at a berkeley.edu domain in order to be billed via campus chart string and be eligible for our discounts and features.

Berkeley Plans

UC Berkeley customers can select from several Pantheon plans that can be paid via a campus chart string.

UC Berkeley customers receive price discounts off Pantheon's public pricing (see Table 1, below), paid via campus chart string (see "Upgrade to Paid Plan," underneath table below).

For the following UC Berkeley plans, there is no need to get a purchase order (PO) to pay for a site hosted on Pantheon.

• Basic ($41/month)
• Performance Small ($101/month)
• Performance Medium ($165/month)
• Performance Large ($309/month)
• Performance X-Large ($502/month)
• Performance 2XL ($720/month)

The information provided in the table below is subject to change. Additional information is available via Pantheon; however, please note that some details/features provided on Pantheon's pages might not be applicable to sites within the UC Berkeley organization on Pantheon (please email web-platform@berkeley.edu to clarify any details). 

To compare the below prices to Pantheon's public pricing, see Pantheon's Pricing page (UC Berkeley sites get a discount per the table on this page). For Pantheon support, see the Pantheon support page. 

Site Traffic Limits and Plan Upgrades

The following plans and rates (Table 1, below) are available as of July 1, 2023.

Pantheon enforces the published traffic limits for their hosting plans, and the traffic limits (monthly pageviews) are also provided in Table 1, below. See Pantheon Hosting Rate Increases (published March 10, 2021). This means that if sites exceed the traffic limits for their chosen hosting plan, they will be upgraded to the applicable hosting plan, and billing will be updated as well.

Monitor Your Site Traffic and Request to Downgrade

If your site is upgraded to a higher plan due to exceeding Pantheon's traffic limits, you may downgrade your hosting plan at a later date if your site's traffic goes back down for two consecutive months. If this happens, please submit the Change Hosting Plan form. 

For more information on how to monitor your site traffic, see Pantheon Site Traffic.
