Pay-As-You-Go Cloud Hosting — Flexible Hourly Billing

Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) billing lets you pay for the cloud resources you provision using published hourly rates, without a long-term contract.

Choose dedicated plans for consistent performance, or shared plans from $4.95/month with NVMe storage, bandwidth and an IP included. With PAYG, charges are based on the resources provisioned to your instance and the applicable hourly rates.

— How Pay-As-You-Go Billing Works

Four simple steps, running in the background

PAYG billing uses the published hourly rates for the resources you provision. Your charges reflect the selected resource configuration and the period for which those resources are provisioned.

01

Choose Your Cloud Resources

Select the vCPU, RAM, storage, and other resources required for your instance.

02

Billing Reflects Provisioned Resources

Charges are based on the resources provisioned to your instance and their applicable rates—not real-time CPU or RAM utilization.

03

Adjust Resources as Requirements Change

When you change your provisioned resources, billing reflects the updated configuration. Some resource changes may require an instance reboot.

04

No Long-Term Commitment

PAYG provides flexible hourly billing without requiring a long-term contract. Applicable provisioned resources and services are billed according to their published rates.

— Choosing a pricing model

Pay-As-You-Go vs. Monthly Pricing

Compare published hourly PAYG rates with monthly pricing. The better option depends on how long you expect to keep the resources provisioned and your workload requirements.

For example, running a Compute-Launch instance for a handful of hours costs far less billed hourly than a full month's fee. Running a Compute-Scale instance around the clock, every day, usually costs less on a fixed monthly plan instead.

Best for variable usage

Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG)

  • ✓ Burst or seasonal workloads
  • ✓ Dev, test and staging environments
  • ✓ Short-lived projects and proofs of concept
  • ✓ Unpredictable or spiky traffic
  • ✓ No long-term commitment required
Best for continuous usage

Fixed Monthly Plan

  • ✓ Production workloads running 24/7
  • ✓ Predictable, steady traffic patterns
  • ✓ Budgeting certainty for finance teams
  • ✓ Lower effective rate at high, constant utilization
  • ✓ Simple, flat invoicing

Not sure which fits your workload? Talk to an engineer — or use the calculator above to compare your actual expected hours against a fixed plan before you decide.

— Who Benefits from Pay-As-You-Go Pricing?

Built for workloads that don't run the same every day

Seasonal e-commerce traffic

Provision additional resources for peak periods and reduce them afterward. Billing follows the resources provisioned for each period.

Dev & test environments

Spin up an environment for testing, tear it down when you're done. No reason to pay a full month's rate for a few hours of use.

Batch processing & data jobs

Provision compute resources when required and release them when they are no longer needed. Other provisioned services may be billed separately as applicable.

New products & proofs of concept

Validate an idea without committing to fixed infrastructure costs before you know if the product needs to scale at all.

Flexible infrastructure, predictable costs

With AccuWeb.Cloud's Pay-As-You-Go pricing model, you can choose the resources you need and adjust them as requirements change. Charges follow the provisioned configuration and published rates, with no long-term contract.
