FAQs
Secure Cloud vs Community Cloud
RunPod provides two cloud computing services: Secure Cloud and Community Cloud.
On-Demand vs. Spot Pod
On-Demand Pods can run forever without interruptions with resources dedicated to your Pod. They do incur higher costs than Spot Pods.
Where can I go for help?
We'd be happy to help! Join our community on Discord, message us in our support chat, or email us at help@runpod.io.
What is an On-Demand instance?
On-Demand instances are for non-interruptible workloads. You pay the On-Demand price and cannot be displaced by other users if you have funds to keep your Pod running.
What is a Spot instance?
A Spot instance is an interruptible instance that can generally be rented much cheaper than an On-Demand one. Spot instances are great for stateless workloads like an API or for workloads you can periodically save to a volume disk.
What is a Savings Plan?
Savings Plans are a way for you to pay up-front and get a discount for it. This is great for when you know you will need prolonged access to compute. You can learn more on the about Savings Plans here
Is my data protected from other clients?
Yes. Your data is run in a multi-tenant environment where other clients can't access your pod. For sensitive workloads requiring the best security, please use Secure Cloud.
Is my data protected from the host of the machine my Pod is running on?
Data privacy is important to us at RunPod. Our Terms of Service prohibit hosts from trying to inspect your Pod data or usage patterns in any way. If you want the highest level of security, use Secure Cloud.
What can I do in a RunPod Pod?
You can run any Docker container available on any publicly reachable container registry. If you are not well versed in containers, we recommend sticking with the default run templates like our RunPod PyTorch template. However, if you know what you are doing, you can do a lot more!
What if it says that my spending limit has been exceeded?
We implement a spending limit for newer accounts that will grow over time. This is because we have found that sometimes scammers try to interfere with the natural workings of the platform.
Do you have some legal stuff I can look at?
Sure, do! Take a look at our legal page
Is RunPod compliant with GDPR for data processed in Europe?
Yes, RunPod is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements for any data processed within our European data center regions.
