01 · The loop
Create, run, destroy.
Infrastructure that exists exactly as long as the job does — and bills exactly that long.
CREATE
A fresh runner in about a minute.
SSD-imaged KVM VPS provision faster than your test matrix runs. Call the REST API from your pipeline to bring up self-hosted GitHub Actions, GitLab or Woodpecker runners on demand.

RUN
Fast runners, your choice of host.
Hourly KVM runners share a host with other customers; for fully consistent timings, put long-lived runners on a dedicated server. SSD keeps dependency installs and caches fast.

DESTROY
Pay by the hour, scale to zero.
Hourly metering means a build that fits inside one hour costs about half a cent and a torn-down runner costs nothing. No commitment, no minimums, no idle-capacity tax sitting on your invoice.

02 · Pipeline-ready
Built for the throwaway box.
Fast spin-up, hourly cost, a scriptable API and dedicated cycles — everything an ephemeral workload wants and nothing it doesn’t pay for.
Hourly billing
Billed by the hour from €0.0056/hr with a 720-hour monthly cap. Spin up, run the suite, tear down — pay for the hours you used, nothing more.
Ready in about a minute
SSD-imaged KVM VPS ready in about a minute, so a fresh runner or preview environment is faster than your test matrix.
REST API
Create and delete runners from your pipeline over the REST API, with cloud-init user-data at order time. Self-hosted GitHub Actions, GitLab and Woodpecker runners on demand.
Full root on every runner
KVM with full root, so runners can run Docker, cache dependencies and keep build tools between jobs.
Per-PR preview envs
Stand up an ephemeral environment per pull request, share a URL, and destroy it on merge. EU and US East locations put previews near your reviewers.
No commit, no minimums
No contracts, no seat minimums, no idle-runner tax. Hourly billing on one account for agencies running fleets of client environments.
03 · Where it fits
Runners, previews and demos.
Any workload that should exist for minutes or hours, not months — and bill accordingly.
CI RUNNERS
Self-hosted runners on demand.
Burst a fleet of GitHub Actions or GitLab runners for a big merge window, then scale to zero. Faster than shared cloud minutes, billed by the hour.
PREVIEW ENVSA live environment per pull request.
Deploy the branch, hand reviewers a real URL, tear it down on merge. Scripted against the REST API, gone before it costs you a euro.
AGENCIESThrowaway client environments.
Spin up staging for a client demo, run the migration rehearsal, destroy it after sign-off. Fleets of short-lived boxes with one clean invoice.
04 · Hourly or monthly?
Burst by the hour, or park a runner.
Same VPS, two billing shapes — pick by how the work arrives.
HOURLY VPS
Hourly runners
Create a runner for a build or a preview env and destroy it after. Hourly billing with a 720-hour monthly cap — ideal for bursty CI, per-PR environments and short client demos.

MONTHLY VPS
A standing runner
For a runner that’s always busy, a flat monthly VPS from €4/mo is cheaper than paying by the hour. Same box, same network — switch billing without rebuilding.

05 · FAQ
Things people ask.
Quick answers to the questions we get most. Need more? Talk to us.
Q.01
Can I use NODED.CLOUD for CI/CD runners?
Yes. Provision SSD KVM VPS as self-hosted runners for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Woodpecker, Jenkins or Drone via our REST API. They spin up in about a minute and bill by the hour from €0.0056/hr, so you create them for a build and destroy them after — no idle-runner cost.
Q.02
How does billing work for short-lived runners?
VPS are billed by the hour with a 720-hour monthly cap, and a started hour bills as a full hour — so a box you run for 12 minutes costs one hour at ~€0.0056, and a box you leave up all month never exceeds the monthly price. There is no commitment, no seat minimum and no charge for capacity you tore down.
Q.03
Can I create per-PR preview environments?
Yes. Call the REST API from your pipeline to deploy an ephemeral environment per pull request, expose a real URL for reviewers, and destroy it on merge. EU and US East locations keep previews close to your team, and teardown means you only pay while the PR is open.
Q.04
Will builds be consistent run to run?
Mostly. VPS vCPUs share a host with other customers, so timings can vary a little between runs; for fully consistent build times, run long-lived runners on a dedicated server. SSD storage keeps dependency installs and caches fast.
Q.05
Is this suitable for an agency running many client environments?
Yes. There are no contracts or minimums, billing is by the hour, and the API makes fleets of short-lived staging and demo boxes easy to manage. It is a clean fit for agencies that need throwaway environments per client without a standing bill.
