It has long been in my head cultivated the idea to move the development for Windows to a thread far away from my laptop (MacOS is standing, I am developing the development on a virtual machine) so that there is no misuse of RAM and processor power.
And then I read about slidebar.ru - hourly pay, power expose yourself, RDP access. Here it is happiness, I thought)
In fact, as it turned out, not everything is so rosy ...

Yesterday I signed up, got 50 rubles to the account, created a virtual machine for myself on Windows 2008R2 Server and started to install a bit of software. Sat an hour - for an hour, they wrote off the money, everything seems to be okay.
I sincerely believed that money would be taken from me only for the time when I actually use resources. Therefore, after sitting for an hour - I poked on the shutdown virtual machine and went to sleep.
Today I saw that even with the virtual machine turned off, every hour the money from me continues to be written off. Funny, I thought ...
Well, I wrote to tech support, the answer was:
Good day!
This service cannot be suspended (blocked). You may have turned off the server, but the tariff plan remains active. Discretization of financial accounting (debiting funds from the personal account) - 1 hour. The price is determined based on the monthly cost of this set of parameters.

That is, even when I do not use their resources - the money they pay.
Total - to test the project under varying load service is just great. For my ideas - absolutely unfit, unfortunately.
The million question:
Is there a service that satisfies my conditions? To access via RDP, but payment of current for those hours that I really used the resources?
