The title is misleading, as €0.02/hr would result in €14.4/month. Their pricing page[0] lists the servers at €9.90/month. Their "Infinite Storage" is €0.02/mo

"How do I take advantage of the monthly billing? Each resource is billed per hour up to its monthly cap. The monthly cost of a resource is calculated by running the hourly rate for 500 hours. If a resource is used during more than 500 continuous hours in the month, the rest of the month is free."

> Their "Infinite Storage" is €0.02/month, though. "Infinite Storage" is, like the term "unlimited", misleading. I clicked through only to find out that it's for 1GB of storage, with unlimited requests and transfers.

  I think the implication was an infinite amount of those 1Gb chunks -- IE: they can grow the infrastructure as fast are you can use it. It is almost assuredly a lie (as someone who is working on a project scaling to PBs -- I pressed a lot of vendors on "unlimited" or "infinite" and most said they simply couldn't scale to X).

There's a FAQ at the bottom which says that it's €0.02/hr and if you reach it, then €10/mo is the cap. And the term "infinite" is misleading, as it's actually just 1GB of data that you can transfer as much as you want.

Has anyone benchmarked the infinite storage? Unlimited transfer seems too good to be true.
