Cool service. At first I didn't understand how this worked, but basically you are charged for the number of hours that a server is on your <i>account</i>, not the number of CPU hours you use. So if you have a server on your account, and it sits idle for a whole month, you'll still be billed for the whole month. This metered billing service is for folks who are regularly putting up and taking down servers for different reasons, like test servers, increasing / decreasing capacity, and that sort of thing, and especially for folks who use the Linode API to automatically do that. It's in place of paying for these in advance and then getting a refund/ credit when you remove the servers. I'm sure that's obvious to the majority of the folks here.<p>I'm probably a dork for not realizing that, but it's worth stating the obvious for folks like me who thought at first this was metered billing based on CPU usage, not based on # of hours a server is sitting in your account, used or not.
