Do I have to pay the cost of the server every time I create a new one?
No — you only need to pay for 1 hour of usage. Spinning up a new 512MB server just to test something for a couple of minutes will only cost you $0.01 after the hourly rate of $0.0074 is rounded to the nearest cent

Tested only on Ubuntu 16.04. If you want to add windows support - you are welcome.
