Burst Pricing Details
Burst Pricing offers the most flexibility for you to start, stop and scale your servers. Burst Pricing is charged in whole hours measured by the clock – this means that an hour bought at 1pm expires at 2pm even if you stop the server earlier, but also that if you stop the first server at 1:30pm and start a replacement at 1:40pm then it is still covered until 2pm.

Note that there are minimum balance requirements for use above $0.20/hour. Above this level, you must have sufficient balance to cover 14 days of the excess use at the point that you add disk space or start a server.
