2. In the "Search GPU" page, view and select the desired GPU resources, then click "Rent machine" to proceed to the machine setup page. You can rent either container instances or virtual machine instances. The similarities and differences between them are as follows:

|                | Container | Virtual Machine |
| -------------- | --------- | --------------- |
| Start Time     | Fast      | Slow            |
| Run Docker     | Yes       | No              |
| CPU            | Shared    | Exclusive       |
| CPU RAM        | Shared    | Exclusive       |
| GPU            | Exclusive | Exclusive       |
| Service Expose | Only one  | No limit        |

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you request a container, you can specify a rental period of up to 30 days. We will send you a reminder to renew the lease when you have less than one day remaining. If you do not renew, upon expiry, the machine will be made available for others to rent, and all your data will be permanently and securely removed from the server.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

3. Complete your environment setup.
4. The system will calculate the fees to be paid in real time.
5. For container instance, users can choose between two rental programme: "On-demand" or "by day". Along with two payment methods: USD or NMT. For virtual machine instance, we only support "On-demand" programme and USD as payment method.
6. Click "Make Payment" to enter the payment page.
