Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Book a bigger machine for the window rather than a smaller one for longer — an hour of a large server usually costs less than a day of a small one.

Pay for the window, not the month

Most hosting assumes the work never stops. A lot of work does: it starts, it finishes, and paying for the remaining twenty-nine days is simply waste.

Booked, not subscribed

You name a start and an end. The server is built for that window and comes down at the end of it, and the bill stops with it.

Sized for the job

An hour on a large machine often costs less than a day on a small one. Book the size that finishes the work rather than the size that fits a monthly budget.

Not for anything sustained

This class throttles under continuous load. If the thing you are running has users on it, buy General purpose or Dedicated instead — we would rather say so here than take the order.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to whatever the job talks to most — the data you are moving, the site you are testing, the registry you are pulling from.

Hourly VPS in Aston — FAQs

How is it billed?
By the hour, for the window you book — from $0.1820 per hour for 4 GB RAM · 2 Cores · 80 GB. This is the only class our data centres bill hourly, and it is the only term it can be bought on; there is no monthly option for it.
What is it good for?
Work with a definite end. A migration, a large scrape, a batch job, a load test, a render — anything you would otherwise pay a month for and use for an afternoon.
What is it bad for?
Anything sustained. Burstable trades peak speed for cheap idle time and throttles under continuous load, so it is the wrong choice for a storefront, a game server or a messaging service. Those want General purpose or Dedicated.
How fast will it feel from Aston?
An estimated 2–5 ms to London at 163 km, the same as any other class — the billing term does not change the distance.
What happens when the window ends?
The server comes down and billing stops. Tell us the start and end when you book it, and take a copy of anything you need to keep before the end of the window.
