They have a price calculator on the net.

Cores, memory and hard disk space per VM appear to be fixed, and pricing
appears to be by the minute of wall clock time.

Load adaptation appears to be implemented by dynamically adding virtual
machines.

Their wimpiest VM, without load adaptation, appears to cost about 12 EUR
for a total month.


They seem to be offering a free trial, valid for 30 days and services
worth up to about 170 EUR to 200 USD (apparently depending on your
country of origin).
