The price is visible first
Every machine shows its hourly rate beside it, and the estimate for your chosen duration updates as you pick. You are never finding out afterwards.
The hardest part of renting capacity is usually finding out what it will cost before you have already spent it. Here the hourly rate is on the screen next to the machine, and the estimate updates as you choose.
Billed by the hour. No commitment, no reservation, no minimum term.
What runs on it
Renting a machine is a simple transaction that most platforms make complicated. These are the four places it usually goes wrong.
Every machine shows its hourly rate beside it, and the estimate for your chosen duration updates as you pick. You are never finding out afterwards.
Start one for an hour. Start forty for an afternoon. There is no term to commit to and nothing to call anyone about.
Terminate an instance and the meter stops with it. Not at the end of an hour you have already been committed to, and not at the end of the month.
Capacity appears on the same invoice as your databases, deployments and domains, in the same currency, from the same company.
The two questions anyone actually has about rented capacity are how much is running and how much has it cost. Both are on the first screen, not behind a report.
Most cloud spend is not wasted on the wrong machine. It is wasted on machines nobody could see, running past the point anyone needed them, on a term somebody signed a year ago.
The figure shown while you choose is derived from the same rate the meter bills at. It is not an indicative number from a separate pricing page that drifted out of date six months ago.
The same three steps whichever you need. No separate product to learn.
You are told what the account allows rather than finding out from a failure.
Pick where it runs per instance. Nothing is pinned by an account-level decision.
The machine, the duration and the estimate are all on the screen at the moment you commit, and nothing starts until you do.
Our research team stopped asking finance for permission, because they could see the number before they pressed the button. That changed how fast we try things.
By the hour, at the rate shown beside the machine when you chose it. There is no minimum term, no reservation and no commitment to negotiate.
The meter stops with it. You are not held to the remainder of an hour, a day or a term you did not choose.
No. Sign up, pick the machine, and start it. There is no sales conversation between you and capacity.
The console shows what is running, what each one costs per hour, and the running total as it accrues — not a figure reconciled at the end of the month.
Yes. Each account has a quota covering instance count and total resources, enforced at the moment of deployment rather than discovered afterwards.
No. Compute is billed from the first hour. The free allowances apply to databases, storage and repositories; capacity is paid for because it costs from the moment it starts.
Capacity by the hour, priced before you commit to it.
Hourly billing. Stop whenever you are done.
