How hetzner cloud billing works?
Never used cloud before. HEtzner says it charges 4.9 EUR /month. They also say they charge per hour too.
I am unable to figure out what does it mean? Using of what? If I run 1-3 sites that are visited 2000/day/site, can I cross the capped amount?
Does the usage include Machine administration too?

1) they charge per hour and with a maximum per month of the monthly amount. The 4gb instance is 0.008EUR/hour so 612 hours would be 4.9 EUR, but a month is actually about 720 hours. Basically if you use more than 612 hours in a month (leave it running all the time so 612 hours occurs around the 25th of the month) you get the rest of the month free.
2) you won't use anywhere near 20TB with a normal site (not hosting a ton of video or whatever) with 6000 visits a day.
3) no these are self-administered. Managed servers always cost more.
Hi @pknerd.
what @willie wrote is true.
If you need support with administration though, one of our (virtual) managed servers might be the better choice for you.
Here's the info for our sales team if you need more advice: https://www.hetzner.com/support-form.
They'll be happy to recommend you the right server for your specific use case.

Hetzner!

I see nothing wrong with Julia. Both would be best, of course.
If you deploy the cheapest instance and run it for less then 1 hour, its free.
Since its rounding it, it results to zero.
No idea if they fixed that.
It shows up as 0.00 on your invoice since it's rounded to the nearest 0.01 or maybe the next lower. But it is still tracked. If you do it 3 times (3 x 0.0004 = 0.012) that does get charged as 0.01. This came up in some of the other threads.
Well, they will charge you for having an instance, doesn't matter if you use it or not. You pay for the reserved resources (hard lesson for me; Paid almost €60 for a cloud server that was up for no more then 15 minutes).
So, if you're planning on running your websites on it, you end up paying the maximum advertised price per month, just like @willie explained earlier.
