Hetzner Cloud
Virtual servers billed by the hour, deleted when you are done.
What it is
Hourly billing with a monthly cap per server. Destroy the server and the billing stops the same hour — the closest thing to a tap you turn off.

Our observations
- Nothing is paid in advance and there is no deposit: the invoice arrives after the month, for the hours the server actually existed. Delete it on the third and you pay for three days.
- Hourly billing is capped at the monthly price, so a server left running all month never costs more than the sticker price.
