NVIDIASupported by Nvidia Inception

Pay for GPUs only when you're
using them.

Aquanode pauses VMs on demand and resumes them instantly. No idle charges. No wasted spend. One bill across every major GPU cloud.

Event log

--:--:--waiting…
0.0s/4.0s
Pause a VM instantly. Billing stops. State is preserved.
Why this matters

Other GPU clouds charge you
for every idle second. We don't.

Training runs overnight. Notebooks sit open. Experiments stall for a code review. On a traditional cloud, that's money burning. On Aquanode, pause the VM and restore it exactly where it stopped — on any provider, any region.

01 / Pause

Stop paying the second you step away.

One command suspends the VM, snapshots GPU state, and pauses billing. Your work is frozen — not lost.

02 / Resume

Pick up right where you left off.

Snapshots include memory, disk, and CUDA context. Resume onto the first available GPU — no re-downloading weights, no re-mounting volumes.

Loop all day. Pay only for the active minutes.
03 / Migrate

Escape any cloud, any time.

Move a live VM between providers with one command. Hop to whichever cloud has the cheapest B200 this hour.

Coverage

One account. Every GPU provider that matters.

Aquanode aggregates capacity across decentralized and hyperscale clouds. Deploy, pause, and migrate across all of them without juggling credentials.

Use cases

What you build
with Aquanode.

From overnight training runs to production inference, pause-resume-migrate changes what's economically possible.

TRAIN

Train LLMs faster — pause between epochs.

Kick off a multi-day training run, pause for the weekend, resume Monday. You only pay for the hours your GPUs are burning.

TUNE

Fine-tune once. Deploy everywhere.

Spin up a single H100, LoRA your base model, then migrate the tuned VM to the cheapest inference cloud.

SERVE

Run inference without paying for idle.

Autoscale to zero between requests. Aquanode pauses instead of tearing down — cold starts in seconds, not minutes.

EXPLORE

Spin up a notebook. Forget about it.

Close your laptop and stop the meter. Open it tomorrow on a different GPU class if you want.

The Aquanode difference

Built for teams that
refuse to pay for idle.

01

Pause & resume VMs

Only GPU cloud that truly pauses billing and restores state — across providers.

02

One bill, every cloud

No more reconciling 6 invoices. Centralized billing across everything you run.

03

Pay with crypto or card

USDC, ETH, or a plain credit card. Whichever fits your stack.

04

Up to 40% cheaper

Pause-based savings compound with the cheapest-provider arbitrage of the marketplace.

I switched from Runpod to Aquanode, and it feels so much better to use. The GPUs are priced more reasonably! I'd highly recommend it.
