Understand hourly hosting before you order

Hourly billing is available only when the product explicitly offers an hourly plan. An enabled billing extension does not mean every product supports it. Check the product's actual billing-period choices before ordering.

What you are buying

This is prepaid billing for a fixed number of hours, not a charge measured by CPU usage or by minutes spent connected. The selected plan sets the period and amount. A powered-off application does not automatically pause the service's billing clock.

1. Choose an offered hourly period and inspect the complete amount.
2. Pay the initial invoice.
3. Note the service's expiry timestamp in the dashboard.
4. Pay the next invoice before expiry if you want to continue using the service.
5. For cancellation, use the service's cancellation controls rather than simply stopping the server.

Renewing early or late

An early paid renewal extends the existing expiry. A late payment after expiry starts a fresh complete period from payment time. Suspension timing includes the configured grace period and scheduler processing, so do not use a grace period as a guaranteed extra service window.

Optional balance auto-renew

This appears only when enabled for customers. You must opt in per service. It uses credit in the service currency and needs enough credit for the full invoice. It is different from a saved-card subscription and does not automatically take money from your bank card.

Will I be charged repeatedly while the service is suspended?

The hourly module keeps one outstanding renewal rather than accumulating a new unpaid bill for every missed period. Check your specific invoice before making a payment.

Can I combine an hourly renewal with another invoice?

Only if it passes the combined invoice eligibility checks. Automatic balance renewal and manual combined payment cannot compete for the same service.

Does cancellation erase my files immediately?

Do not infer retention from billing behaviour. Download the data you need and consult the applicable service terms or support before ending service.
