Luna Node
Luna Node Dynamic is our hourly billing virtualization platform featuring rapid virtual machine deployment, hourly billing, snapshotting capabilities (and imaging existing or new virtual machines from these snapshots), uploading custom ISO files, an API for automation, and more. Servers are currently provisioned out of SingleHop's Chicago datacenter, and we expect to be adding a location in BurstNET's facility in Scranton as well.
Luna Node has been around for about half a year, offering reliable KVM virtual private servers at affordable prices. We use a custom panel on most of our plans, including Luna Node Dynamic. We are still slowly working on our free software billing panel at https://pbopb.lunanode.com/ (it is currently useable although missing a few nice features and payment gateways).
Here's a more detailed feature explanation:

Here's a more detailed feature explanation:
- Hourly billing - only need a virtual machine for a few days, or don't know how long you'll want to use it for? Or have dynamic needs that require changing amounts of nodes? Luna Node Dynamic allows you to destroy your virtual machine at any time, and then only pay for the hours (instead of months) that it was used for. The service is prepaid, with Paypal and Bitcoin (via Coinbase) as our current billing options.
- Custom ISO files - you can submit a URL (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.) and the system will download your ISO file. Once downloaded, you can mount it and install an operating system over VNC.
- Snapshotting - for 512 MB, 1024 MB, and 2048 MB plans, you can snapshot your virtual machine; this will store the current state of the disk image, which you can then use to restore your virtual machine or to provision more machines. Each account gets three free snapshots; you can contact us if you need more.
- API - we provide a simple API that you can use to manage your servers without going through the web UI.
- Track billing - a simple Billing tab is inluded in the Luna Node Dynamic panel that allows you to check your expenses for each month, with expenses sorted by day.
