Step 3: Create an Instance

Select the rental duration
Enable/disable the Auto Renewal feature
Add SSH Keys

Rent the instance

Review all the settings in the Summary section, and click Rent Instance, then confirm to create it.

Note:

Auto Renew:

• Enabled: Instance automatically renews for the same duration when it expires

• Disabled: Instance will be terminated at the end of the duration period

Storage fee:

$0.2 per 1GB/month.
This fee is applied regardless of the instance status (running or stopped). and will only stop once the instance has been completely deleted.

Step 4: Connect to Instance

Once your instance is created, it will appear in the Instance tab.

The instance may take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to start.

Once the status displays Running, click the Connect to Instance button.

Copy the command line provided, and you can connect to your instance and start working directly from the command line.

Step 5: Manage Instance

From the same tab, you also have other options to stop the instance, extend your rental, enable or disable auto-renewal, or delete your instance.

Stop instance

You can temporarily stop an instance at any time to pause the usage time.

To stop your instance,

Click the Stop Instance button.
A confirmation window will appear, indicating that usage time will stop.
Click Stop Instance to confirm.

Important Note:

When an instance is stopped, it stops the instance usage time, but storage fees will continue to apply until the instance is completely deleted.

Extend Rental Time

You can easily extend your instance’s rental time to continue your work without interruption.

To extend,

Click the Extend Time button.
A window will appear, allowing you to enter the number of hours to add.
Enter the number of hours you want to extend and click Extend Time to confirm.

Auto-renew

The auto-renewal feature ensures your instance doesn't get interrupted, which is useful for long-term tasks.

Click the Auto Renew button.
A window will appear, showing the current status (Enabled/Disabled).
If you want the instance to automatically renew upon expiration, ensure the status is Enabled. If you want to terminate the instance after the rent period ends, click Disable Auto Renew.

Delete an Instance

When you no longer need an instance and want to stop all related charges, you can delete it completely.

Click the Delete Instance button.
A confirmation window will appear, warning that this action is permanent.
Click Delete Instance to permanently remove the instance and all its stored data.

Important Note:

This action will permanently delete the instance and all its stored data. There is no way to recover the data after deletion.
