| adom | ChinnoDog: you snag one of those $35 cloud servers at cloudatcost.com? im just checking it out now. | 12:50 |
|---|---|---|
| adom | for $35 one time fee, i might just have to grab one for the theck of it. | 12:51 |
| adom | even just for SSH and all that | 12:52 |
| adom | very enticing idea | 12:53 |
| ChinnoDog | adom: no. I was considering one of the high end ones but idk anything about that site. What if they go belly up tomorrow? | 13:01 |
| adom | yeah, was thinking about it...wouldn't be surprised if 6 or 18 months from now they *accidentally* got hacked and all emails, passwords (unhashed), credit card data, and server data was compromised and the company disappeared. | 14:27 |
| adom | just seems like their only goal is gaining a wide user base and not making nay profit. | 14:28 |
| adom | its likely just a reseller with a private rack somewhere charging to host VPSs for customers, we have plenty of those here, but those prices are sketchy as hell. | 14:29 |
| ChinnoDog | They use someone else's equipment I think | 14:37 |
| ChinnoDog | I doubt they have any of their own equipment | 14:37 |
| ChinnoDog | I mean.. I could do that | 14:37 |
| ChinnoDog | (Maybe I should) | 14:37 |
| ChinnoDog | On the plus side the AUP does not have an IRC restriction | 14:47 |

| ChinnoDog | I'm not entirely sure how to interpret it but what I get from it is that they are super cheap because they built /everything/, which is probably convenient to do in Canada, a land of large open spaces | 15:29 |
| adom | i might just buy one of the $35 ones just to have for IRC or something if i ever stop using Blinkenshell. or maybe just put a lightweight server on it (landing page, Vent server, etc)...but I'm using paypal for payment and I'm using a password I've never used before jsut for that site. | 19:54 |
| adom | ChinnoDog: ^ | 19:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I want to buy the high end one. lol | 20:34 |
| ChinnoDog | I would replace my dedicated box with it | 20:35 |
| ChinnoDog | I pay $25/mo for my current server so even if I paid the $140 one-time fee it would pay for itself in 6 months | 20:36 |
| marcoceppi | adom: I bought a few | 21:01 |
| * marcoceppi shrug | 21:01 | |
| ChinnoDog | "a few"? | 21:01 |
| ChinnoDog | I am still trying to convince myself to go for it | 21:03 |
| ChinnoDog | ok, I did it. I hope this was a sound purchasing decision. | 21:29 |
