Looking for Windows 7/8 VPS with hourly billing
Hello, I looking for Windows 7/8 VPS with a hourly billing.
I need a VPS that I can start, use it for some tasks for an about 3-4 hours and delete it, summary it will be about 20-30 hours in a month. Monthly billing is not for me because I don't want to pay that I'm not using.
It will be good if it will be hosted in Europe.
Is there any providers?

I only know nephoscale.com with east and west coast locations. hourly billing with free windows license
Edit: oops, only windows 2008/2012, no windows 7/8
I think the only Windows 7/8 VPS choice is serverpoint.com where it's legal to use Windows 7/8 as a VPS. Fix me if I was wrong.
There's also https://www.mothership1.com, although not in Europe. Also Windows 2012.
I need something like Amazon WorkSpaces but with hourly billing. I think if they can offer it others can offer it too.
This is not a VPS per-se, but there are RDP services in the market. I'm not sure if any LE providers do that though.
http://cloudvps.com provides Windows Server 2008 and 2012 with hourly billing on their Openstack platform.
http://www.iwstack.com/ also provides server 2012, that is Cloudstack based.
Try vultr.com Create your instance with a custom iso then snapshot and destroy when you're done
This.....
Great idea! Thanks!
Vultr, I've tried Windows 7 and it works with VirtIO drivers. Didn't try Windows 8 but it should work.

There is no hourly billing on Amazon WorkSpaces.
Vultr and maybe you can use this image:http://blog.shade.sh/index.php/archive/1453
Already test it. Everything is OK. Deploying from the snapshot takes about 1-2 minutes.
