Compute Instances are virtual machines that run on Linode's secure and reliable cloud infrastructure. To support a variety of workloads, Compute Instance plans are organized under several basic plan types, each with their own set of resources, unique value propositions, and technical specifications (see [Plan Types](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/plans/)). Each Compute Instance can run a variety of [supported Linux distributions](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/distributions/), including the latest versions of Ubuntu, CentOS Stream, Debian, and more.

Linode offers multiple Compute Instance types, each of which can be equipped with various amounts of resources. This allows you to create a Compute Instance tailored to the requirements of your application or workload. For example, some applications may need to store a lot of data but require less processing power. Others may need more memory than CPU. Some may be especially CPU-intensive and require more computing power.
This guide provides you with the information needed to select the most appropriate instance, helping you sort through all of Linode's offerings and land on the right one for the job.

They come in a few different types, including [Shared CPU](https://www.linode.com/products/shared/), [Dedicated CPU](https://www.linode.com/products/dedicated-cpu/), [High Memory](https://www.linode.com/products/high-memory/), and [GPU](https://www.linode.com/products/gpu/). Each of these are tailored for certain workloads. See the guides below to learn more about creating a Compute Instance, configuring it after deployment, and securing it.
+Compute Instances (also frequently called *Linodes*) are virtual machines that can be used for nearly any purpose. Many of our customers use them to host websites and applications, and they can also be used for development workloads, game servers, big data processing, machine learning, scientific processing, and much more. They come in a few different types, including: [Dedicated CPU](https://www.linode.com/products/dedicated-cpu/), [Shared CPU](https://www.linode.com/products/shared/), [Premium](https://www.linode.com/products/premium-cpu/), [High Memory](https://www.linode.com/products/high-memory/), and [GPU](https://www.linode.com/products/gpu/).

## Understand Billing
-Linode services are billed to your primary payment method at the end of each month (or when your accrued charges reach your billing limit). This means you can continuously add, modify, and remove services throughout the month and, after the month is over, you receive an invoice for *the hourly usage of each service **up to the monthly cap***. In affect, billing is *post-paid* and *pro-rated*. See the below resources for more billing information and detailed hourly and monthly pricing.

-**Network transfer** is the exchange of data between two computers over the public internet or a private network.

This traffic is broken down into inbound and outbound network transfer. *Inbound network transfer* is data sent *to* your service (such as a file upload). *Outbound network transfer* is data sent *from* your service (such as a web page and its images, stylesheets, and JavaScript files).
