Gpushare Cloud provides two types of cloud server purchase methods: weekly, monthly and pay-as-you-go, which are suitable for user needs in different scenarios.
The following table lists the differences between the three billing models:
| Instance billing model | Weekly | Monthly | Pay-as-you-go |

| Minimum usage time | Use at least a week | Use at least one month | Billed by the second, billed by the hour, buy at any time and release at any time |
| Instance configuration adjustment | Configuration adjustment is not allowed | Configuration adjustment is not allowed | The configuration can be lifted and lowered at any time, and can be subcontracted weekly and monthly |
| scenes to be used | Suitable for training tasks that take longer | Suitable for training tasks that take longer | Suitable for short training sessions |
Monthly and weekly¶
Weekly and monthly subscription is a prepaid model for cloud server instances, where one month or one week's fee is paid in advance. This payment model is suitable for scenarios where equipment demand is estimated in advance, and the price is lower than the pay-as-you-go model.
Weekly and monthly cloud server instances are purchased first and then used: when a user purchases cloud services using prepaid methods, the system will calculate the corresponding amount in the user's cloud account according to the resource hardware (including graphics card type and graphics card number) selected and purchased by the user. deduct.
Therefore, before purchasing cloud services, users can check the available balance of the account in the fee center. If the balance is less than the amount that will be deducted by the system, please recharge before purchasing.
After the monthly subscription expires, the instance will be deleted after more than 10 days.

Pay-as-you-go¶
| recharge | Pay-As-You-Go Maximum Instances | Maximum number of graphics cards for a single instance |
|---|---|---|
| Not recharged | 1 | 1 |
| Recharge less than 100 | 3 | 1 |
| Recharge greater than or equal to 100 | 3 | unlimited |
Pay-as-you-go instances are 1 unrecharged and 3 recharged. If the recharge reaches 100, you can use multiple cards in a single instance, and if it is less than 100, you can only use a single card.
Pay-as-you-go is an elastic billing model for cloud server instances. You can activate/delete instances at any time and pay based on the actual usage of the instances. The granularity of billing time is accurate to the second , and there is no need to pay in advance, and settlement is made every hour on the hour. This billing model is suitable for short-term training scenarios, and the unit price is higher than the weekly and monthly billing model.
When you activate a pay-as-you-go cloud server instance, the instance's fee will be frozen for one hour in advance (which can be paid by using the available account balance or voucher), and will be settled every hour (Beijing time). The actual usage time of the hourly instance is deducted. The unit price of the instance is presented by the hour at the time of purchase, and the price is calculated by the actual number of seconds used at the time of settlement. The cost is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. The starting point of billing is the time when the instance is successfully created, and the end point is the time when you initiate the shutdown operation.
When you create a pay-as-you-go cloud server, the system freezes the instance fee for one hour. When the instance is shut down, the system will unfreeze the frozen charges.
After a pay-as-you -go instance is shut down (after the instance enters the shutdown state), the instance fee will no longer be charged.
The instance will be deleted more than 10 days after the pay-as-you-go shutdown.
The pay-as-you-go model will have the following effects after the instance is shut down (after the instance enters the shutdown state) :
- The instance's graphics card will no longer remain, so launching the instance again may fail. At this point, you can try to start again at another time, or perform instance migration.
- During shutdown (the instance is in the shutdown state) it cannot support many operations other than instance startup (such as restarting the instance, resetting the password, subcontracting weekly and monthly billing, etc. related operations, etc.), If you need to operate, please do it after powering on**.
- The instance needs to be shut down when performing instance migration, image creation, and image restoration operations. No charge during the shutdown.
