Choose the right account type
Need flexible spend across services? Pick a credit account. Need raw compute? A vCPU or server-limit account. Need email? An open port-25 account.
Size the credit or spec tier

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way for a freelancer to get cloud hosting?
Hetzner (€3.79/month VPS) via our $45 account is the most affordable. DigitalOcean free trial accounts are also a great starting point at just $20.
Can I host client projects on these accounts?
Yes. These are full cloud accounts that you own and control. You can host any number of client projects limited only by the server resources you provision.
Do I need to pay monthly for the cloud account?
No. Cloudrix is a one-time purchase. You pay Cloudrix once for the account, then pay the cloud provider (AWS, DO, etc.) for resources you use within the account.
