Who should consider it

A flexible developer VPS platform for users comfortable managing Linux and infrastructure; the operational burden is the main trade-off.

What to check

• Self-managed infrastructure
• Stopped instances remain billable
• Backups and extra networking features add cost

Before you pay

• The $5 plan is the broadly available 1 GB public-IP plan, not the restricted IPv6-only offer.
• Stopped instances continue to incur charges because resources remain reserved.
• Destroying the instance is required to stop compute billing.
• Backups, snapshots, extra IPv4 addresses, and DDoS options may add cost.
