Pay-as-you-go
How hourly billing works
You pay by the hour, only while your instance is running. Perfect for a staging site, a CI/CD pipeline, a one-off traffic spike or a short-lived project.
Simple math
€4.99/ mo
730h / mo
€0.007/ hr
Every plan shows a monthly price. The hourly rate is simply that price divided by 730 — the average number of hours in a month.
Example: €4.99/mo ÷ 730 = €0.007/hr (entry plan iCS-2)
No commitment
Spin up an instance in 60 seconds and delete it whenever you want. Billing stops the moment you delete it — you only pay for the hours you actually used, nothing more.
No commitment: create and delete instances whenever you want
You only pay for the hours your instance runs — billing stops when you delete it
Ideal for testing, CI/CD, short projects and traffic spikes

Pay-as-you-go cloud
What is an hourly cloud server?
An hourly cloud server is an on-demand cloud instance billed by the hour instead of a fixed monthly subscription. You create it in seconds, use it for as long as you need — an hour, a night, a week — then stop or destroy it, and billing stops with it.
Infrawire hourly cloud servers (iCS instances) combine pay-as-you-go pricing with the same infrastructure as our VPS range: dedicated resources, NVMe storage, DDoS protection and a 10 Gbit/s network, across 50 locations worldwide.

Hourly cloud server or monthly VPS?
Both run on the same Infrawire network. The right choice depends on how long your workload runs — here is the honest comparison.
| Criteria | Hourly cloud server | Monthly VPS |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | Pay-as-you-go: per minute, stopped to the second | Fixed monthly price, predictable budget |
| Commitment | None — create and destroy instances anytime | Monthly renewal, discounts on longer terms |
| Best for | Short-lived, variable or unpredictable workloads | Production services running around the clock |
| Cost profile | Cheapest for hours or days of runtime | Cheapest for continuous 24/7 usage |
| Provisioning | Under 60 seconds, via console or REST API | A few minutes, fully automated |
| Scaling | Spin up several instances for a burst, delete them after | Upgrade the plan as your project grows |
What are hourly cloud servers used for?
Whenever a server does not need to run all month, hourly billing wins. Typical pay-as-you-go workloads our clients deploy:
CI/CD & build runners
Spawn a clean build or test runner for each pipeline, destroy it when the job is green — pay for minutes, not months.
Staging & preview environments
One disposable environment per branch or release candidate, identical to production, gone after the merge.
Load & performance testing
Simulate real traffic from several regions for a few hours without keeping the fleet afterwards.
Batch jobs & scheduled tasks
Rendering, imports, scraping, backups: start the instance for the job, stop it when the queue is empty.
Client demos & POCs
Put a proof of concept online for the duration of a sales cycle — no annual line item on the budget.
Learning & labs
Test a stack, break it, redeploy it in 60 seconds: ideal for training, workshops and homelabs.
Frequently asked questions
Everything about pay-as-you-go billing, pricing and deployment.
Each plan has a reference monthly price, and your hourly rate is that price divided by 730 hours. Billing runs per minute while the instance is active and stops to the second. Example: the iCS-2 plan at €4.99/month equals about €0.007 per hour.
