Pay as You Use means you only pay for the cloud resources you actually run - not a flat monthly fee sized for your busiest possible day. Some people call this pay-as-you-go pricing; on AccuWeb.Cloud, it's the same idea: usage-based billing with no long-term contract.
Need extra power for a few hours, or for a whole month? Either way, you're billed for what you actually used - nothing more.
Real hourly rates from our own Compute plans.
Storage is added separately. Prices below are compute only.
| Configuration | Suits | Compute | With 50 GB disk | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Popular | Deploy → |
Every plan includes dedicated (not burstable) vCPU and RAM, fully managed support, and free migration.
| Capacity | Hourly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
Combine these to build a configuration no fixed tier matches — an odd 10 vCPU / 20 GB box is priced the same as one we listed.
| Unit | Hourly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Additional vCPU | $0.0082 | $6.00 |
| Additional GB RAM | $0.0048 | $3.50 |
| Additional GB storage | $0.00008 | $0.06 |
| Snapshot / backup, per GB | $0.00005 | $0.033 |
| Extra IPv4 address | $0.0027 | $2.00 |
| Outbound bandwidth, per GB | $0.00003 | $0.025 |
Whether you call it pay-as-you-use, pay-as-you-go, or on-demand cloud pricing, it works the same way: your usage is tracked, and your bill reflects it.
Every instance's CPU, RAM and storage usage is tracked in real time, not sampled or estimated after the fact.
Your bill is calculated from what you actually used during the billing period, not a flat rate sized for your busiest possible day.
Add resources ahead of a launch, remove them once demand drops - cloud usage billing adjusts automatically, with no manual invoice correction.
No unused capacity sitting on your invoice. If a resource isn't running, it isn't billed.
In plain terms, this is hourly billing vs. monthly billing. Neither one is always cheaper - it depends on how often you actually use the resource.
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.
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.
Scale up for a sale or a launch window, then scale back down once the spike passes - pay only for the hours you actually needed the extra capacity.
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.
Run compute-heavy jobs on demand - nightly builds, data pipelines, video encoding - and pay strictly for the runtime, not idle time in between.
Validate an idea without committing to fixed infrastructure costs before you know if the product needs to scale at all.
With AccuWeb.Cloud's Pay as You Use pricing model, you get the flexibility to scale your infrastructure exactly when you need to, while keeping cloud costs predictable and under control - no surprise invoices, no unused capacity you're paying for anyway.
