Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of $2.99 on the MI300X plan pairs the GPU with system memory and NVMe storage.
- Billing runs per minute and the terms offer hourly, monthly and reserved, so short jobs stop and start cheaply.
- Bandwidth allowance is Unmetered internet with IPv4, and DDoS protection is included.
- Interconnect of 8x400G RoCEv2 keeps multi GPU work on a fast fabric inside a single box.
Cons
- GPU choice is MI300X and MI355X, with no NVIDIA part in the list.
- Capacity sits in the US at 1 location, so a workload cannot move to another region.
- The GPU hour of $2.99 is above the market median of €0.61 and ranks 85 of 95 brands on that measure.
Who it suits
- Teams training or serving AMD models that want per-minute billing and unmetered traffic.
- Developers who need an MI300X with generous memory in a single US data centre.
- Buyers who want a named legal entity, Hot Aisle Inc., founded 2023.
Who should look elsewhere
- Teams that need NVIDIA parts: SberCloud lists B300, H100 and A100.
- Anyone who wants a wide catalogue to compare: ComputePrices.com spans H100 SXM, A100 SXM and H200.
- Lighter, cheaper inference work: Salad covers NVIDIA RTX 3060, NVIDIA RTX 3070 and NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti at a different tier.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a GPU hour cost?+
GPU work starts at $2.99, and the entry plan is listed at the same $2.99. That is above the market median of €0.63, but the plan bundles system memory and NVMe storage that lighter listings leave out.
How is usage billed?+
Billing runs per minute and the terms list hourly, monthly and reserved as the available models, with hourly pricing on the pricing page. Short jobs can start and stop and pay for the minutes they use, while a monthly or reserved term suits steadier demand.
Which GPUs are on offer?+
The catalogue is MI300X and MI355X and nothing wider, so MI300X and MI355X are the only accelerators listed. For H100, B200 or A100 work, SberCloud lists B300, H100 and A100 instead.
Where do the machines run?+
Capacity is in the US, with 1 location listed under US. Latency stays low for North American users, though a workload has one site to draw on for failover or for data residency outside the US.
What network and bandwidth do you get?+
Bandwidth allowance is Unmetered internet with IPv4, and the interconnect between GPUs is 8x400G RoCEv2, which suits multi GPU training on a single box. Server types are vps and bare metal and the OS list is linux.
Is it suitable for regulated workloads?+
Compliance certificates listed are SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA, and DDoS protection is included, so vendor review has SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA evidence to work from. Hot Aisle Inc. is the named legal entity, founded 2023.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on email only, so questions travel by message rather than phone or live chat. A named contact route sits behind the service, with Hot Aisle Inc. as the legal entity on the terms.
How does the price compare with other GPU clouds?+
A GPU hour of $2.99 places Hot Aisle at 85 of 95 brands on that measure, against a market median of €0.63. Entry price of $2.99 sits under the site median of €5.83, so the entry point is low even though the hourly rate runs higher than the typical listing.
