Really like the look of this, feels VERY Digital Ocean-esque from the UI (which is awesome). As a big fan of DO I'm looking forward to playing with it!

Edit:

One interesting thing I've noticed is that I was charged a dollar for an IP address that I released after 1 minute and 11 seconds. I'd have assumed that it would have been by the second as well. However:

fip 209.177.88.125 - 2016/11/07 16:27:08 2016/11/07 16:28:19 0.0197 $1.0000

From pricing: "Billing begins when a new Floating IP is allocated, ends when it is released. Partial month is treated as a entire month."

Hi, sorry about the confusion. We do this just to prevent abuse, e.g. per-second billing for IP.

PS: I work at Hyper.sh

At least now, it warns you about this:

% hyper fip allocate 1

Please note that Floating IP (FIP) is billed monthly. The billing begins when a new IP is allocated, ends when it is released. Partial month is treated as a entire month. Do you want to continue? [y/n]:
