|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | volume-quota the price binds before the bandwidth: USD 7.71 is above the line on the smallest plan, and hourly billing at USD 0.04 an hour would be worse for 24/7 use |
| Identity | email (placeholder) unverified: the price page was read and the console was not. LightNode advertises PayPal and Alipay on its Chinese-language mirror, which implies no card wall, but that page was not read first party here |
| Egress | 1 TB of bandwidth a month on the Start plan, 2 TB on Agency free allowance: 1 TB |
| Retention | hourly billing; the instance persists while the balance lasts |
| Interface | ssh, rest root SSH; the vendor's web console; a REST API where documented |
| Tooling | any SSH client |
| Composes with | recorded to close a lead: the cheapest Tokyo shape is 1 vCPU / 2 GB / 50 GB NVMe at USD 7.71, so LightNode has nothing under the line |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | Hourly billing exists but the hourly rate for this shape was not read on this page, so no 10 h/day figure is recorded. Nothing here is under USD 5 in any region. |
| Evidence note | documented price and shape from the vendor's Tokyo page today; identity and payment unverified |
| Parsed numbers |
