How hourly billing works
You pay for the hours the server exists
Charges start when the VPS is created and are taken from your prepaid balance by the hour.
A full month is capped
The monthly price is the hourly rate × 730. However long the month, a server never costs more than that.
Stopped still counts
A VPS bills for as long as it exists, running or stopped, because its CPU, RAM and disk stay reserved for you.
Destroy it to stop paying
When you destroy the VPS its charge ends. Take a snapshot or copy your data first, since destroying it deletes the disk.
Paying by the month or by the hour
What a gp.micro (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 80 GB NVMe) costs depending on how long you keep it.
| How long you need it | Paying by the hour | Paying a full month |

| Testing an idea for an afternoon4 h | $0.05 | $9.61 |

Hourly cost = hours × $0.0132/h, IPv4 included. Approximate figures: the exact charge is on your invoice.
When an hourly VPS makes sense
Tests and prototypes
Spin up a clean server, try the idea and destroy it the same day. You pay for those hours only.
CI, builds and batch jobs
Create a large server for a heavy build, a data import or a render, and remove it when the job ends.
Events and traffic peaks
Add servers for a launch, a sale or a live event and drop them afterwards.
Staging and migrations
Keep a copy of production for the days a migration or a review takes, without a monthly commitment.
Projects that grow
Start on the smallest plan and move up from the panel when the project needs it. Each size is billed for the hours you use it.
Always-on services
For a server that runs all month, the monthly cap means hourly billing costs the same as a monthly plan.
Pricing a whole setup?
The calculator adds up VPS, bare metal, storage, load balancers and CDN, so you can see the monthly total before you deploy.
Hourly VPS FAQ
How is an hourly VPS billed?
CubePath uses a prepaid balance. Each VPS is charged by the hour from that balance for as long as it exists. There is no minimum contract and no setup fee.
Is there a monthly cap?
Yes. The monthly price is the hourly rate multiplied by 730 hours, and a server kept all month never costs more than that monthly price.
Do I pay while the VPS is stopped?
Yes. A VPS bills for as long as it exists, running or stopped, because its resources stay reserved. To stop paying you have to destroy it.
How do I stop paying for a VPS?
Destroy it from the panel or the API. Its charge ends then. Destroying deletes the disk, so take a snapshot or copy your data first. Floating IPs or other resources you keep may continue to bill.
Is the IPv4 address included in the price?
The prices on this page include one dedicated IPv4, which costs $1.50 a month. IPv6 is free.
Can I change the plan later?
Yes. You can move up to a larger plan of the same family and location from the panel; the server restarts during the change. To move to a smaller plan, contact support. Each size is billed by the hour while you use it.
How do I add balance?
From the Add Funds page in the panel. The minimum top-up is 10 USD.
Is there a welcome offer?
New accounts can get $200 in credit with the code WELCOME200 when they add their first card, with no charge. The conditions are on the coupons page.
