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.

This plan
Cheap while idle, billed only for the hours you book. Throttles under sustained load, which is the trade that makes it cheap.
$0.1820USD
per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed
Book by the hourBook 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.
Mountain View has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.
