How you are billed:
You elect to pay from your prepaid balance in one of three ways:
Pay as you go – Hourly consumption for your resources is billed in 15 min increments.
Subscription – Subscribe to your selected resources for a month and enjoy a 20% discount on the hourly rate.
Annual Subscription – Subscribe for 12 months and only pay for 10.
You can optimise your costs by combining Subscription and Pay as You Go. Subscribe for the bare minimum you need and burst over and above your subscription using your Pay As You Go balance for any above ordinary needs.

†Hourly use is billed as you use it, from your Pay-As-You-Go balance. It is charged in 15 minute periods at 1.2x the hourly rate of subscriptions. 15 minute periods are per-account and measured by the clock – this means that 15 mins bought at 09:05 expires at 09:20 even if you stop the server earlier, but also that if you stop the server at 09:10 and start a new, replacement server at 09:15 then it is still covered until 09:20
