# BYOVM (Bring Your Own VM)

You can also deploy to your own cloud account from any cloud provider (Azure, GCP, Alibaba, Oracle, etc.) or from a VM hosted on-premises. You handle your provider relationship while we manage things.

### Pricing

Pricing is based on the specification of the VM you are connecting to:

**$5 per vCPU, $2.50 per GB of RAM, and $0.25 per 10 GB of disk.**

Example: if you are connecting a VM with 2 vCPU + 4GB RAM + 40GB Disk, the cost per month will be

(5\*2) + (2.5\*4) + (0.25\*4) = ~$21/mo

Price per hour is then calculated like this: $21/730h = $0.02876/h
