Quick start

This is the shortest path. Each step has its own page if you need the detail.

1. Sign up​

Open console.nexgpu.net and click "Don't have an account? Sign up".

Register with an email, collect the verification code, and set a password of at least 8 characters. Fill in a referral code if you have one; leave it blank otherwise.

Sign-up page

See Sign up and sign in.

2. Top up​

"Top up" in the left menu. Two methods: USDT (TRC20) and Alipay.

A little goes a long way — an entry-tier card is under ten cents an hour, so $5 runs for a while.

Top up

See Top up.

3. Pick a machine​

Open "GPU Market". The list is sorted cheapest first, and every row is a real rentable machine.

Two numbers matter most:

  • VRAM (the 8GB / 24GB under the model name) — decides whether your model runs at all
  • Price ($0.0943/hour on the right) — what you actually pay, exactly as shown

Not sure how much VRAM you need? See the table in Choosing a GPU.

4. Choose an environment and boot​

Click "Rent" on a row and a drawer slides in from the right with six sections:

  1. Selected machine — confirm it is the one you wanted
  2. Environment — PyTorch, ComfyUI, Ollama and so on
  3. Disk — follow the environment's suggestion, more if your weights are large
  4. Network — always public direct connection; nothing to change
  5. Advanced — name the instance so you can recognise it later
  6. Cost estimate — what it costs running, and what it costs stopped

Then click "Confirm".

Order drawer

:::info Read the amber note at the bottom of the drawer It tells you what this instance costs per day after you stop it. That is not a scare tactic — it is why you should destroy instances you are finished with rather than just stopping them. :::

See Creating an instance.

5. Wait for it to boot​

Back on "My Instances" you will see it move through Scheduling → Preparing → Booting → Running.

First boot is usually one to three minutes; larger images or an uncached machine take longer.

Instance preparing

6. Connect​

Once it says Running, click the instance name and open the "Connect" tab. Three options:

  • Terminal — a root shell in your browser, nothing to install
  • SSH — download the key and paste the command shown
  • Jupyter — one click if the environment ships it

See Connecting.

7. Destroy it when you are done​

Do not skip this. Click Destroy and type the instance number to confirm.

Merely stopping keeps the disk, and the disk keeps billing.
