Why is my cloud bill higher than what my traffic stats suggest? I thought this was "pay as you go."

This is a common trap in traditional cloud setups. Many providers say “pay as you go,” but what you’re really doing is paying for what you reserve, not what you use.

With standard VMs, you pay for the full RAM and CPU even if your app is barely touching them. AccuWeb.Cloud’s container-based architecture with vertical auto-scaling changes that. Your cloudlets expand and shrink in real time based on actual usage — that’s where true pay-as-you-use kicks in.
