CloudCone Compute Instances billing is pretty straightforward, this article will explain everything you need to know
Hourly Billing
Instances are billed hourly, you will receive a bill on the 1st of every month for the previous month's hourly use which means you are charged for the number of hours your machine is online. When you create your machine, you will see your total bill per hour and per month.
Your bill adds up in two different ways.
Online hours - number of hours your machine was online
Offline hours - number of hours your machine was offline
Online hours
When your machine is online, you are billed for all resources allocated to you which are CPU, RAM, Storage and IPs
Offline hours
When your machine is switched off (shutdown) you are only billed for Storage and IPs if your server is unused, turn it off to save you some hours
Offline hours are not applicable to promotional offers.
Your final bill will be an addition of both the online and offline hours used by your instance.
