FAQ:

1. What is the difference between Secure Cloud and Community Cloud?

Secure Cloud runs in highly reliable T3/T4 data centers, offering enhanced security and redundancy for sensitive workloads. Community Cloud is a decentralized network of individual compute providers, providing a more cost-effective option through a vetted peer-to-peer system. Both options offer competitive pricing compared to major cloud providers.

2. What are On-Demand and Spot Pods?

On-Demand Pods provide dedicated resources and run without interruption, ideal for critical workloads. Spot Pods utilize spare capacity and are more cost-effective, but they can be interrupted if someone bids higher or starts an On-Demand Pod. Spot Pods are suitable for stateless or interruptible workloads.

3. How does RunPod ensure data security?

RunPod utilizes containerization to isolate workloads and prevent unauthorized access between clients. Secure Cloud offers the highest level of security. Additionally, RunPod's Terms of Service prohibit hosts from inspecting user data.

4. Can I get a refund for unused credits?

RunPod does not offer refunds for unused credits. Please deposit only the amount you intend to use for RunPod services.

5. What happens if I run out of funds?

Your Pods will be automatically stopped if your balance falls below 10 minutes of remaining runtime. Volume data is preserved, but container disk data is lost. Pods may be terminated if the balance isn't replenished, so setting up automatic payments is recommended.

6. What kind of support does RunPod offer?

RunPod offers multiple support channels, including a community Discord server, a support chat, and email support at help@runpod.io. They also provide comprehensive documentation to assist users.
