Pricing and billing

Monthly bill = monthly base fee + hourly rate × hours running, capped each month

Spec	Base/mo	Running/hr	Monthly cap (always on)
S · 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 40 GB	$12	$0.04	$24
M · 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 80 GB	$24	$0.07	$47

Always on: never more than the cap per month — about the same as a comparable cloud server.
With auto-suspend: suspended time costs only the base fee; a machine idle all month costs just that.
Transfer is not billed separately; if a machine saturates bandwidth for long stretches we contact you first and throttle only if needed.
Prices may change — the pricing page is authoritative, and its calculator works out your combination.

The first period is deducted from your balance at creation, then every 30 days. It is outside the monthly cap, charged while suspended too, and not refunded for the period already paid if you destroy the machine.

Top-ups and balance

Prepaid balance, charged by the minute; $0.50 minimum top-up; card, Alipay or WeChat Pay.
