Smart Automation & Real-Time Billing

When a cVirtual Image is created for the first time, the system automatically generates a service linked to that image. Every subsequent create or delete action updates the service in real-time, ensuring your resources are always tracked accurately.

Our system monitors these changes and calculates billing based on actual usage, with hourly tracking to give you full control and transparency. You are billed at a flat rate of $0.10 per GB per month, prorated by the hour. This ensures you only pay for what you use, when you use it, no hidden costs or overages.

With cVirtual Image, you're not just deploying VMs, you're getting a fully automated, usage-based experience designed for scalability and cost-efficiency.
