Pocovetuite services where you can order a cloud server at the best prices with the possibility of hourly payment on OC Windows?

Question

RDP

Also of interest are services where there are good bonuses for new customers (for example, a free server for a while or a bonus in the form of some amount to pay for cloud servers, etc.)

Answer 1

Forget about free, of the well-known providers that give free to try for a long time are Google and Amazon, and there are no windows for natural licensing reasons.
Hourly payment for a virtual machine with good prices for storing images (the machine can be removed for the period of non-use and backups are cheap) in Russia from selectel. I don’t know how they agreed to pay by the hour for cars with windows, but they have it

Their iron is not so fast, but I managed to take the average iron from them for a few hours is the cheapest. There is a GPU but, like everywhere else, it is inadequately expensive, the whole point of using such a pricing policy is in short-term use , since if you use such services on an ongoing basis, the cost for this will run up to comparable equipment in half a year - a year.
Of the shortcomings, well, the admin panel works very crookedly (for example, there is no way to add it to an existing local network when creating a machine, it prescribes new subnets, you have to tinker after), plus I got glitches both with the settings and with billing, it is fixed, there is even api / utility for automating the creation of machines, in general, a sort of 'Amazon in Russian'.
ps Amazon ec2 has comparable prices, maybe a little more expensive, more complex billing, there are traps in the cost of the network, but more opportunities

Answer 2

Is a free Azure account okay?
