There are several web hosting providers that offer cloud servers with hourly payment options. Here are a few options:

1. Amazon Web Services (AWS) - AWS offers a variety of cloud-based services, including EC2 instances that can be paid for by the hour. They have data centers located in Europe and the US.

2. Microsoft Azure - Azure is another popular cloud hosting provider that offers hourly payment options for their cloud services. They also have data centers located in Europe and the US.

3. Google Cloud - Google Cloud Platform offers a range of hosting solutions, including virtual machines that can be billed on an hourly basis. Their data centers are also located in Europe and the US.

4. DigitalOcean - DigitalOcean is a popular cloud hosting provider that offers hourly billing for their droplets (virtual machines). They have data centers located in both Europe and the US.

I hope this helps you find a suitable hosting provider for your needs!

Is it really appropriate to expect hosting to be offered by the hour? If you were to pay per hour for cloud hosting and VPS services, you might be charged around $100 for a basic set up, or $150 if you want VNC access, with additional costs calculated based on the number of visitors accessing your site.

If you're looking for a reliable, geotargeted hosting service, Microsoft Azure could be a great choice, especially since the first three months are free. Another option is Amazon Web Services, but there may not be an option for hourly billing.

It's worth keeping in mind that cloud hosting services can be slightly pricier than other web hosting options, but they offer more flexibility in terms of configuration, scalability, and payment based on usage. Cloud infrastructure is also more secure and reliable, so it's ideal for large businesses or those with fluctuating power needs.

What's the point of paying for hosting on an hourly basis when it's likely to be more expensive than a monthly plan? If you're not expecting high traffic to your site, it might be worth considering a lower-priced server option instead. There are many different options available on the market for a wide range of budgets.

Cloud hosting providers such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are well known for their advanced capabilities, but they can benefit from a managed service like Cloudways. These three companies offer competitive prices for those who are unsure if cloud hosting is right for them, or for those who don't have a large hosting budget.

However, while Google, AWS, and Azure are popular choices, the overall quality of their services may not be as high as specialized cloud hosting options, and their technical support can be lacking. By contrast, fully managed cloud hosting from Cloudways can significantly improve the quality of service when combined with Google or AWS.

If you decide to go with Google Cloud, the platform offers a generous free trial period with $300 worth of credits for cloud server usage within the first year. Additionally, a free perpetual plan is available for WordPress-based websites using GCP's F1-micro instance - although this plan is limited in terms of storage and computing power.

Unlike traditional server configurations, cloud hosting provides users with greater flexibility and customization by freeing them from physical server limitations. It also enables private servers to perform better in virtual environments, improving overall server hosting.
