Two products. One balance.
Run a Cube and pay by the minute for exactly what you use, or put a site on Nest for a fixed price each month. Both draw on the same prepaid balance, so there's one card and one place to top up.

No subscription — you load credit and spend it
Nothing renews and nothing bills you monthly. Work out what a top-up covers before you make one.
Which one do you need?
The short version: a Cube gives you a terminal, Nest gives you a panel.

Common questions
What's the difference between a Cube and Nest?
A Cube is a server you control: root access, your own kernel, install anything. You're billed by the minute for the compute you run. Nest is managed shared hosting: a control panel, one-click WordPress, email accounts and automatic SSL, on a fixed monthly or yearly plan. Pick Cube if you want a terminal, Nest if you want a panel.
Do I need two accounts or two payment methods?
No. One Krova Cloud account, one prepaid balance. Cube usage draws it down per minute; a Nest plan charges against the same balance when it renews. There is only ever one card on file, and only one place to top up.
Can I use both at the same time?
Yes, and plenty of people do — a Nest for the marketing site and email, a Cube for the app or API behind it. They live in the same space and share the same balance and team permissions.
Is there a free plan?
Signing up is free. Claim $5 in free credit — one-time, per account, and nothing is charged for it. From there you add prepaid credit as you go. Nest plans are paid from that same balance.
