Monthly Billing Instead of Hourly
EDBB uses monthly billing for all VPS plans. The entry plan starts at €4.99/month—roughly €0.0068 per hour—so you get near-hourly economics without micro-transactions.
Why We Skip Hourly Invoicing
💳 Gateway Fees
Payment processors charge fixed fees that exceed the value of tiny hourly invoices.
🧾 Operational Overhead
Hourly suspensions, reinstatements, and accounting add complexity without benefiting most customers.
📘 Predictable Costs
Monthly billing keeps budgeting simple while still delivering a low effective hourly rate.
⚙️ Same Feature Set
You still get Cloud-Init, API hooks, and instant deployment—only billing differs.
Working Within Monthly Billing
- Order the smallest plan, use it for as long as needed, then cancel before the next renewal.
- Take advantage of the 24-hour refund window to evaluate the platform risk-free.
- Use automation (Cloud-Init, Ansible, Terraform) to spin environments up and down quickly even though billing is monthly.
- Track costs per project by tagging VPSs and exporting invoices from the Control Panel.
