Pay only for what you run
No plans and no contract. Buy credits, spend them on whatever you build, and your monthly bill is simply the sum of what you are running — which stops the moment you delete it.
One currency, two kinds of credit
Credits are the only thing you buy on LexHost. Some of them renew with the things you keep running; others you buy once and spend once. Knowing which is which is the whole pricing model.
Recurring credits
What the things you keep running cost. Your monthly bill is the sum of them — nothing else decides it.
One-time credits
A balance you top up and draw down. AI generation is what spends it, and it never renews on its own.
The life of a credit
Five steps, and there is no sixth. Nothing is hidden behind a renewal date or a plan you have to leave.
What things cost
Every resource has a recurring credit cost, charged monthly for as long as you keep it. This is the same catalog the billing engine charges from — the whole of it, in one list.
| Resource | Category | Credits | Monthly price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 vCPU | compute | 20 | $4.50 |
| 10 GB SSD | storage | 5 | $1.13 |
| 15GB SSD | storage | 15 | $3.38 |
| 2 GB RAM | compute | 10 | $2.25 |
| 5GB SSD | storage | 10 | $2.25 |
| Daily Backup | backup | 10 | $2.25 |
| MySQL Database | database | 5 | $1.13 |
| Object Storage (50GB) (S3 bucket) | storage | 10 | $2.25 |
| PostgreSQL Database | database | 5 | $1.13 |
| Redis | database | 10 | $2.25 |
| Static IPv4 | network | 15 | $3.38 |
| Website (static pages) | website | 40 | $9.00 |
| Website built with AI | website | 40 | $9.00 |
| Wordpress website | website | 40 | $9.00 |
What credits cost
Buy any amount you like. Larger packs bring the per-credit price down, and nothing you buy ever expires.
| Pack | Credits | Price | Per credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 credits | 100 | $30.00 | $0.300 |
| 250 credits | 250 | $75.00 | $0.300 |
| 500 credits | 500 | $150.00 | $0.300 |
| 1,000 credits | 1,000 | $300.00 | $0.300 |
A real example
What a month actually looks like for a customer running a few things.
Delete VM #2 and next month is 180 credits — no downgrade, no notice, no call. Add a ninth website and it is 350. The bill follows what you run, in both directions, on its own. AI generation is not in this figure: it is spent from one-time credits, only when you generate something.

How is my monthly bill worked out?
It is the sum of the recurring credits of everything you are running that month — each website, machine, gigabyte and database, at the credit price it was created at. There is no plan fee and no minimum on top of that, so running less costs less and running nothing costs nothing.
What is the difference between recurring and one-time credits?
Recurring credits pay for things that keep existing: a website, a VM, storage, a database. Each one charges its credits when you create it and again every month you keep it, and stops the moment you delete it. One-time credits are a balance you buy outright and spend once — AI generation is what draws on them today. They never renew, never expire and are never returned, so they are only ever spent by something you asked for.
Do credits expire?
Never. Bought credits stay in your balance until something spends them, and there is no monthly reset to lose them to.
What happens if I run out of credits?
Nothing is deleted. A monthly charge that cannot be paid puts that resource into a grace period — it keeps running for a week while we email you. Add credits in that window and nothing is interrupted; if the window passes, the resource is suspended until you top up, and everything it is made of is kept. You can also switch on automatic top-up, with a monthly spending cap you set.
What happens when I delete something?
It stops renewing immediately, so you are never charged for it again. The month you have already paid for is not refunded — it simply runs out.
Can I change what I'm running mid-month?
Yes, at any time. Adding storage or resizing a machine upward charges the difference pro-rated over the days left in that resource's month, so a change on day 28 costs two days of it rather than a full one. Scaling down lowers the next monthly charge.
Are the prices shown what I actually pay?
Yes. The credit cost of every resource comes from the same catalog the billing engine charges from, so the figure you see while building is the figure that leaves your balance.
