Ask HN: New Server on every SSH connection?

4 pointsdiegorbaquero5 comments

I was just sleeping and I dreamt about this. Instead of having to spin up a new server in a cloud provider when I need to test things, I just had to close the SSH connection and re-connect. I think this could be billable by the minute.

Does anything like this exists?

IT's called a shared host - and they charge by the minute in 30 day increments.

A shared host isn't a virtual server for development.

Eh, its virtual to you, if permissions are set up correctly.

Why spin up a new one, just wake an existing one up. It won't be billed for while it's asleep.

The idea is to have a fresh environment for testing and development. Which companies do not charge for sleeping virtual servers?
