Hi, we have an enterprise license and multiple hosts for different environments. I’m wondering how the billing works if I bring up another host with a different IP for the purpose of maintenance while I take another host down. If both the host are active for 15 days each, do we get billed for both hosts or only one?

The billing is prorated at about $0.10/hour, it updates every few minutes. That would be billed as one host and possibly some overlap.
