What is CorceLink public cloud?
CorceLink public cloud is a service of cloud instances billed by the hour and capped monthly: virtual cloud servers, or a whole physical server, whose hourly price is the monthly cap divided by 730, so an instance kept all month never costs more than that cap. Its 11 families and 42 types, from €5.90 to €1,589 per month max, are hosted in France, in a partner datacenter in Lyon, on the CorceLink network (AS199863). For a server with fixed resources, paid monthly and orderable online, choose the Nova VPS instead.
Key terms
- Hourly price
- A type’s monthly cap divided by 730 hours. A g1-4 instance costs €0.0642 per hour and €46.90 per month at most, even when running non-stop.
- Instance type
- A fixed size within a family: vCPUs, memory, system disk and bandwidth. The b1-8 type in the Balanced family offers 2 dedicated vCPUs, 8 GB of memory and an 80 GB disk.
- Interruptible instance
- An instance 60% cheaper that CorceLink can stop with 2 minutes’ notice. It suits CI, rendering and computations that can resume.

Hourly, capped monthly
Every resource is counted by the hour, at its monthly cap divided by 730, and never exceeds that cap. Commitment and interruptible discounts apply automatically.
Traffic included, no egress fees
Your instances’ traffic is included, with no egress fees. Each instance gets an IPv6 /64, and our whole network is protected against DDoS attacks.
Private network and load balancers
A 25 Gbit/s private network links your instances for €1.00 per month, the price of our private networks (VPC). Load balancers, with IPv4, IPv6 and certificates included, start at €11.90 per month.
NVMe volumes and snapshots
The system disk is included in every type, and NVMe volumes cost €0.085 per GB per month. Scheduled snapshots are included: you only pay for storage, €0.045 per GB stored, €0.012 per GB per month once archived.
NVIDIA L4 and L40S GPUs
Whole NVIDIA cards, never shared, for AI inference, transcription, computer vision, 3D rendering and video encoding. On request, from €669 per month max with one NVIDIA L4.

The metal-9950x type reserves a physical Ryzen 9 9950X server: 32 vCPUs, 128 GB, 2 TB and up to 25 Gbit/s, for €849 per month max. For monthly billing, see also our dedicated servers.
Public cloud or Nova VPS?
Both are hosted in Lyon. The Nova VPS is a monthly subscription with fixed resources; the public cloud is paid by the hour, with many more families.

Frequently asked questions
How does hourly billing work on the public cloud?
Every resource is counted by the hour, at its monthly cap divided by 730, and never exceeds that cap. An e1-1 instance therefore costs €0.0081 per hour and at most €5.90 per month, even when running non-stop. Volumes, IPv4 addresses, private networks and load balancers follow the same principle, and discounts (commitment, interruptible instances) apply automatically.
What is the difference between the public cloud and the Nova VPS?
The Nova VPS is a monthly subscription with fixed resources, from €7.90 to €54.90 per month, orderable online and delivered in under 2 minutes, with nightly backup included. The public cloud is billed by the hour and capped monthly, with 11 families and 42 types, NVIDIA GPUs and a whole server. For a site in continuous production, the VPS is enough; for variable or specialized workloads, choose the cloud.
Is CorceLink public cloud a sovereign cloud?
Yes, in the sense that your data stays in France, with a French operator: instances are hosted in a Tier III+ certified partner datacenter in Lyon and run by CorceLink, a Lyon-based company (SASU) that operates its own network (AS199863). As a GDPR processor, CorceLink commits in writing (article 28) to process your data only on your instructions and in France, to report any breach within 48 hours and to delete it at the end of the contract.
Is CorceLink cloud an alternative to the American hyperscalers?
Yes, for everyday infrastructure needs: instances in 11 families, NVIDIA GPUs, NVMe volumes, snapshots, private networks, load balancers and security groups, hosted in France, in Lyon. Pricing stays readable: hourly, capped monthly, traffic included with no egress fees. You deal with a Lyon-based team during business hours, on +33 4 82 53 00 01, and a 24/7 on-call service handles critical incidents within the hour.
What is an interruptible instance?
It is an instance 60% cheaper that CorceLink can stop with 2 minutes’ notice. It is available in the Essential, General purpose, Balanced, Compute and Memory families: a c1-4 thus drops from €52.90 to €21.16 per month max. It suits CI/CD runners, rendering and computations that can resume, not a production website.
Is the public cloud commitment-free?
Yes: without commitment, you pay by the hour. By committing to an hourly amount, you get -20% over 12 months or -35% over 36 months, still paid monthly. Example: a g1-4 at €46.90 per month max comes down to €37.52 with a 12-month commitment and €30.48 over 36 months. Discounts apply automatically.
Do you offer GPU cloud servers in France?
Yes, on request: the GPU family provides whole NVIDIA cards, never shared, hosted in Lyon. The a1-l4 type (1 × NVIDIA L4, 8 vCPUs, 32 GB) costs €669 per month max, or €0.9164 per hour; a1-2l4 (2 × L4) costs €1,339 and a1-l40s (1 × NVIDIA L40S, 16 vCPUs, 96 GB) €1,589. Uses: AI inference, transcription, computer vision, 3D rendering, video encoding.
How do I avoid a surprise bill with hourly billing?
Every resource is capped at its monthly price: even when running all month, it never exceeds the grid price. Commitment and interruptible discounts apply automatically, and scheduled sleep shuts test instances down at night and on weekends, saving about 60%.
