So I read through the whole landing page and I don’t really understand what this is. It sounds like it’s just another virtual private server? How is this different from getting a VPS on any hosting provider and remote desktoping into it? I guess since it’s paid by the hour rather than pay by month, but generally a service like this charges you for every hour your virtual machine exists, not just when it’s running. So unless you want all your data deleted you’re going to be paying longer-term anyway. Or maybe that’s not the case, they certainly don’t go into any detail to explain it one way or the other.



The benefit here is you pay a smaller fee for the storage and the machine itself is created on demand.
