Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Use your Google or GitHub single sign-on or provide your email to create a new account. A valid payment method is required to confirm your identity, but we will not charge you during your trial. Promotional credits are available only to new customers who have not yet signed up for a free trial.

Once you complete the sign-up process and agree to our Terms of Service, you can use your credit toward many of our Compute plans (GPU plans are excluded from this promotion), Object Storage, Block Storage, or NodeBalancers offerings. If you exceed the allotted credit amount within the specified trial period, the overage will be charged at standard rates as outlined on our pricing page.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, and Google Pay (with an associated credit card). For additional payment options, including wire transfer, purchase orders, and ACH, please contact us. Note that when you add a card, we may send a temporary pre-authorization request to the issuing bank. This pre-authorization charge is immediately released, but may take a few days to clear from your card, depending on the bank.

You must spend your service credits during the trial period. Unused service credits will automatically expire, and we will charge you our standard rates for any service over the allotted credit amount. For more information on our prices, visit our pricing page.

Cloud cost optimization is the process of managing and reducing the costs associated with cloud computing while ensuring that the performance and reliability of applications and services remain high. It helps organizations allocate their cloud spend more effectively and avoid unnecessary expenses.

The pay-as-you-go pricing model allows organizations to pay only for the resources they use, eliminating the need for large upfront investments in hardware and software. This reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and helps in managing costs more efficiently.

Autoscaling is a feature in cloud computing that automatically adjusts the number of compute resources based on the current workload. This ensures that organizations are only using the resources they need at any given time, leading to significant cost savings and efficient resource utilization.
