Question
Do they bill me 5$ although I cancel/delete the Space or Spaces before the end of the month? Or is it prorated?
Accepted Answer:
Hey friend,
This is technically billed hourly, but we state it's cost as being the end result of 672 hours (our hourly cap). If cancelled in less than 672 hours, you may see less than $5 billed.
