What is an hourly VPS? A complete server, with flexible billing
An hourly VPS is an independent environment for your website, application and services. The difference is how you pay. Instead of paying for a full month upfront, you start with an initial period and continue with hourly charges.
You keep control of your server and its resources. Choose an operating system, configure your environment and run your project without settling for a limited environment just because the project is temporary.
Start with an hourly VPSThe first 72 hours are charged at purchase. After that, each hour is charged to your wallet.
Hourly or monthly? Let your project’s duration guide you
Hourly billing can cost less for short-term projects. If you need a server for longer, compare the total hourly cost for that period with monthly pricing and choose the option that suits you best.
Hourly: for temporary and changing needs
When your project has an end date, or you have not decided how long to keep it, you do not have to start by paying for a full month.
- Pay for the first 72 hours at purchase
- Continue with hourly wallet deductions
Monthly: for continuous, planned hosting
If your service needs to stay available continuously, consider monthly billing and compare the period’s price with your hourly estimate.
- Pay for one monthly period
- Suitable for ongoing website and application hosting
Choose a duration. Estimate your cost.
Select how long you expect to need the server. You can also enter the hourly rate of your chosen configuration for a personal estimate.

168 hours × hourly rate
This estimates the base server cost only, excluding tax and optional extras. The 30-day period is an example, not an automatic switch from hourly to monthly billing.
Shutting down or suspending a server does not stop billing. Future hourly charges stop only after the service is deleted.
For projects that are ready to move
Use an independent server for a defined task, from testing an idea to preparing your next release.
Test an idea or prototype
Before committing to long-term hosting, install your application in an independent environment and see how it performs with the resources it needs.
Staging and release preparation
Check a new version away from your live service. Use a separate server for release testing, staging or periodic CI/CD workflows.
Temporary processing and data transfers
Choose resources for a finite processing job, data preparation or project migration. Keep the results you need when the work is complete.
Learn and experiment
Practise service setup and operating system configuration in your own environment, without affecting a server used by real customers.
Hourly billing, full server control
Access your server from the customer panel, check its status and view resource and traffic usage. A short project does not mean less control.
Choose an operating system from the available options at checkout. If you need a particular version or configuration, talk to us before ordering.
- Full management from the user panelService status and controls remain accessible from your account.
- Resource and traffic visibilitySee current usage and make an informed decision about the next stage of growth.

Hourly VPS questions, answered
Clear answers about choosing, paying for and retiring your server.
When does hourly server billing begin?
You pay for the first 72 hours at purchase. After successful payment, the server is created and activated. Once that period ends, the cost of continued service is deducted from your wallet at the beginning of each hour.
Does shutting down or suspending a server stop billing?
No. Charges continue until the service is deleted, even while it is shut down or suspended. Future hourly charges stop only after deletion.
What do I need to keep the server running?
After the first 72 hours, keep enough credit in your wallet to cover each hour. You can review your balance and deductions in the customer area.
What if I only need the server for a few hours?
The initial payment covers 72 hours. If your project ends sooner, include that upfront payment when comparing costs.
What happens to my data when I delete the server?
Server deletion is permanent and removes the data stored on it. Back up files, databases and any required outputs elsewhere before deleting the server.
Which locations offer hourly VPS?
Nuremberg and Falkenstein in Germany, Helsinki in Finland, Ashburn and Hillsboro in the United States, and Singapore. This page covers hourly servers outside Iran.
Does hourly billing include fewer features than monthly?
For the same configuration, the difference is the payment method, not the core server features. Check resources, disk, traffic and operating system options when choosing your service.
Is hourly always cheaper than monthly?
No. It depends on the service rate and how long you keep it. For a short project, calculate the hourly cost including the first 72 hours. For continuous use, compare it with the monthly price of the same configuration.
